NEW YORK (Reuters) - Zsa Zsa Gabor and Sonny Chiba reached the heights of low-budget filmmaking as they were among those selected by cinephiles around the world for induction into the B-Movie Hall of Fame.

Chiba, the Japanese icon of martial-arts flicks including "Gangster Cop" (1970) and "The Street Fighter" (1974), and Hungarian-born glamour girl Zsa Zsa Gabor, of such campy films as "The Girl in the Kremlin" (1957) and "The Queen of Outer Space" (1958), were among 10 artists and 10 films honored Monday.

The seventh annual Hall of Fame voting was done at B-Movie Theater, a Web site (http://www.b-movie.com) celebrating the art of low-budget film-making. Online voters were provided ballots listing 100 nominated films and 100 nominated artists.

Winning the most votes for an individual artist was actress Debbie Rochon, whose films include "Black Easter" (1994) and "Hellblock 13" (1999). Rochon hosted the 1999 inaugural B-movie film festival held each year in Syracuse, New York.

British writer and director Clive Barker, who created the long-running "Hellraiser" and "Candyman" series, received the second highest total.

Wes Craven's "The Last House on the Left," (1972) won the most votes for a movie. Others honored included "White Zombie" (1932) and "Curse of the Demon" (1957).

Other artists inducted included Larry "Buster" Crabbe, who played Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in popular serials, and directors Sam Fuller, helmsman of high-powered dramas like "The Baron of Arizona" (1950) and "Shock Corridor" (1963), and Edgar G. Ulmer, who made "The Black Cat" (1934) and "Detour" (1945).

I don't run across many of those on days I don't go to the record store.

Heh.. this reminds me of High Fidelity.

The closest thing we have around here would be the Record "Wear" House. They specialize in inscense, novelty T's, and *ahem* smoking accesories.

If so... it doesn't say so anywhere on the case.

Its fine. As far as i know they dont edit movies at all like they do with music. They just dont carry unrated or NC-17 cuts of movies. They always carry the R rated cut instead. There is also a good chance they dont carry some of the more foul R rated movies but im not sure on this one.

I've always thought it was funny that you can buy Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but not an unedited CD.

I enjoyed this little film called Head of the Family. A family controlled telepathically by a wheelchair bound mutant 'head'. What, I ask you could be better? It's the "Citizen Kane" of mutant head movies.

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter is a good one too, as is Killer Klowns from Outter Space.

What, no Roadhouse?? Best movie Jeff Healey was ever in!

No shit that make no sense at all. If they applied their moral philophy to movies they would should only sell PG movies, yet you can buy Basic Instinct there.

Yep.

I don't know if it's nation-wide, or only around here... but they've even pulled Maxim and Stuff magazine off their shelves.

Snatch can be considered a b-movie, can't it? Or does it have too many big name stars?
