A great film can also be a B movie...
Posted by Doug Otte on May 23, 2007 at 11:05:50:
Studios had A and B films. A films were the high-profile, big budget projects. B films were on a smaller budget, with (sometimes) lesser/younger directors/writers/actors.
So, calling it a "B movie" is not necessarily a pejorative. Many of the well-regarded noirs were produced out of a studio's B budget (e.g. Asphalt Jungle).
I don't know if The Killing was an actual B movie, though. Was it?
