SCORING THE QUIZ

As always, the scoring is simple. You get 1 point for every A, 3 for every B, and 5 for every C. Total up your points and consult the rankings below.

10-22 Points

You may claim to like B-movies, but you're just going through the motions. You go to bed early, go to good movies, and only watch the B stuff when one of your friends says "you have got to see this." To begin your b-movie education program, it is suggested that you rent anything starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson or produced by Roger Corman.

24-38 Points

Okay. You've got a fair amount of B-movie knowledge, but you're still an amateur. You probably have yet to see "Glenn or Glenda" or "The Terror of Tiny Town" (reputedly the only all-midget western). To continue your b-movie education, it is suggested that you spend one month watching whatever's on at 2 a.m. on your favorite cable movie channel, preferrably Cinemax if you have it.

40-48 Points

Have you no taste? Have you no class? Nope! And you're fairly proud of it. You've seen the entire Police Academy series, including "Mission to Moscow." You know the Troma Team catalog better than some Troma executives. But there may be some films you're still not familiar with. For you I suggest "Attack of The 60 ft. Centerfold" and "Avenging Disco Godfather" (starring Dolemite).

50 Points

Okay. You've seen everything at the video store. You've stayed up late most nights to catch the worst cable has to offer. You've probaby even seen every brother-to-fame film, such as "Moving Violations" (starring John "Brother of Bill" Murray) and "Buford's Beach Bunnies" (starring Jim "Brother of Tom" Hanks). I have no recommendation for you. You're perfect the way you are. You're good enough, you're smart enough, and darn it, people like you.
