    Pretty much any Liam Neeson movie.
    Agree on Terminator - Arnold only had one Conan movie under his belt at that point, and Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn weren't exactly A-listers.
    Die Hard was heavily promoted. I remember people wondering why anyone would pay Willis $5 mil for that movie (which was top pay at the time) and the tagline was "You will be blown through the back wall of the theater." People knew that movie was coming a mile away.

    I actually wrote Alien. The first movie. I don’t think that was anything more than horror sci-fi movie giving Sigourney Weaver a different type of role. These type of movies, b movies that out perform, are often with actors that are really good but not yet established or playing outside their comfort zone.

    I bet the porn version of Die Hard used the same tagline.

    Not a B movie, but Guardians of the Galaxy checks a lot of those boxes.

    Not sure it checks all the boxes, but the first movie I thought of was Demolition Man.

    Kingsman: The Secret Service had it all. Bond-like gadgets, Sam Jackson chewing up scenery, that epic church scene. That was a helluva fun February release.

    Shut it!!!

    I will watch Taken, over and over again. And again.
    Wick was good. Lot of suspension of disbelief- esp. the final car scene. The other 2 Wick movies are just meh.
