hmm I was always told movies like Sharknado or any movies that SYFY makes is consider a B movie or a movie that goes straight to cable or DVD.

Used to be, but now the cheapo studios, especially the Asylum which makes the Sharknado movies have since become hip to the idea that there is a market for truly stupid ideas for movies. Sort of like how Snakes On a Plane got made and shit like that. It sullies it knowing that they are making shit on purpose instead of because that's the best they can do. Like whenever Bon Jovi puts out a new album.

The House on Carroll Street (1988) -- 7/10.

But Sharknado is not a B movie. A B Movie is when they try to make a good movie but go utterly wrong somewhere, usually due to the budget. Sharknado was made to intentionally be bad. I find the lack of sincerity is such product to be unpalatable. 

B movies are low budget films. That's all they are. If one extrapolates the cost of an average A movie ($50-$150 million) compared to an independent film such as the Sharknado series, and most any other film showcased on SYFY, it would classify as a B movie.

Joss Whedon has always used humor and horror well.

He's an exceptionally good director.  Or maybe he chooses the better screenplays.  Whatever it is, I won't miss one of his movies.  I'll pass on some other better known directors, however.

A B movie is based on budget, and ther have been some good movies made. A C movie is anything starring a former cast member of 90210.

An F movie is almost anything Christian related.

Guardians of the Galaxy  Not sure what to give it.  I'll say 6/10.  Maybe 7/10

I've seen the coming attractions about 5 times at the theater and it looked like it would be pretty bad.  Yet it's getting good reviews from critics, so I went.  Actually, it's not a bad movie.  There are a few very funny moments, and it's a fair superhero spoof, much much better than I thought it would be.  Basically, a group of galactic misfit criminals band together to make sure some thing one of them stole (I'm not sure what it was or what it was supposed to do) would not fall into the wrong hands and result in the end of the Galaxy.  That's the plot, but obviously to get from that simple point A to point B, they have all kinds of encounters along the way with various characters more nefarious then themselves.

Some of the incidents are so pointless and absurd that they are breathtakingly funny, although most of the movie I would describe as just cute.  It was worth the price of admission, but I can't say my life will be any richer for it.

1. Galaxy Quest (1999)
2. Blazing Saddles (1974)
3. Spaceballs (1987)
4. Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
5. Shaun of the Dead (2004)

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete (2013) -- 8/10.

Not as depressing as Dare mo Shiranai (2004) but it comes close.
