Here's an example of a B movie that is good not despite the normal B pitfalls of lame acting and sexploitation, but perhaps because of them. This 2004 horror/thriller is good even though it's a poor quality direct-to-video B movie all the way. The acting may be hardest to overlook, but the plot and storyline are very good, and the characters are believable. The strippers really look like strippers, heavily implanted and attractive but with plenty of mileage on them, and they really get naked. This movie is no Closer, where strippers don't strip.
A young woman leaves her physically abusive boyfriend and movies to Las Vegas, where she becomes a stripper. Determined never again to be beaten by a man, she takes up with women. Convinced that she still would love him if he were only a woman, the boyfriend has a sex change operation and comes after her. To eliminate all the competition, he/she starts killing all the girlfriends.
You'll want to dislike this movie, and there's plenty to criticize, but in the end you'll feel that you've just watched a pretty decent flick. The movie is also known as Transamerican Killer.
