    It is. It's a well-made, big-budget movie with a great cast, but it definitely has a B-movie aesthetic

    Dusk Til Dawn Los Muertos

    That's a B movie. Dusk Til Dawn is a classic!

    You are laboring under the assumption that something couldn't be BOTH a B-movie and a classic. Anyway, this is Rodriguez and Tarantino we're talking about. They like to play in movie conventions-shit, that's Tarantino's entire career, and he's damn good at it. It's post-modern cinema. The directors are aware of the movie they're making and reveling in it, while not winking at the audience. They're self-aware, but not venturing into parody. They're referential, homages.

    Grind House, dude. Those were big-budget B-movies. I loved Planet Terror. . .

    Frank Frazetta's poster art for From Dusk Till Dawn:

    I hadn't seen this one before.

    Edited to add - maybe we're coming at the term B-Movie from different angles. I think that might be our stumbling block.

    Look here:

    This kind of describes how I think of the term B-movie:
    Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s, the term B movie continued to be used in the broader sense it maintains today. In its post–Golden Age usage, there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition: on the one hand, many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity; on the other, the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient. In some cases, both are true.

    Yeah, I wrote all that, submitted it, then as I looked at it again, I realized it was probably just the B-movie definition thing we were stuck on. But hell, I wrote all of it, and SOMEONE was gonna see all of it 🙂

    The Salma Hayek is awesome thing is easy to agree on. Really, you can find at least TWO good things in that movie if you have a Y-chromosome. 😉
