3: Can also be connected to an 'A-movie' with a cult following or all the qualities listed above.

  * e.g.,  ... Alien resurrection has more plot holes than Stars Wars episode III and is more unnecessary than episodes I, II and III - and therefore should be a B movie. 

 [ "B-movie" ]

1: The term "B-movie" was used to distinguish a film from an "A=movie", in a time before TV when movies were all there were. Movies were cranked out continually, the way TV shows are now. An A-movie is a high-budget, highly promoted feature film. A B-movie is the regular, lower budget stuff.

  * e.g.,  ... Plan 9 from Outer Space is a B-movie 

 [ "B-movie" ]

1: A movie known for their low budget. Or possibly even their low grade of acting. Most of the time b-movies are either scifi, or horror. But are most of the time unintentionally funny.

 [ "b-movie" ]

 [ "B+ movie" ]

1: a film intentionally made to fit into the "B" movie genre, but done so well it is a really good film, unlike your standard "B" movie

1: A movie being made at the same time as another movie by the same studio with a significantly lower budget
