The days of the "B" movie on the big screen have vanished, but the movies themselves live on, courtesy of DVD and late-night TV. Here is a grand selection of the best of these minor classics from "Abilene Town" through to "Zorro, the Avenger".

all classic movie fans.

the coverage of the "Blondie" movies with Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake; and the piece on "Charlie Chan in Shanghai", one of my favorite Chans too!

the amount of attention given to Randolph Scott. Not only does he figure on both the front and back covers, plus the first six pages of posters, but many of his movies from "Abilene Town" to "Western Union" are given ecstatic reviews. I can't stand Randolph Scott. The only good performance he ever delivered was in "The Bounty Hunter" in which he actually performs one of his own stunts. (Yes, this movie is in the book too).

race out and buy some of these movies on DVD.

glad to be alive in 2009!

is an expert. He sure knows his "B"s. The book is absolutely packed with fascinating information. Plus every detail you could possibly want to find out about!

it's a must-have for all vintage movie fans.
