哥倫比亞影業的《確定的事情（英语：）》（1928）預算不到20000美元（約為今天297,791美元）。很快，導演法蘭克·卡普拉與哥倫比亞的合作使該工作室躋身好萊塢大聯盟。
史東尼·布魯克（約翰·韋恩）、圖桑·史密斯（雷·科里根（英语：））和羅勒拜·喬斯林（馬克斯·泰興（英语：））並沒有花太多時間在馬俱上。共和國工作室（英语：）的馬鞍之友（英语：）（1938）僅持續55分鐘，是《三個牧羊人（英语：）》冒險的平均時間。
許多黑色電影通常以純粹聳人聽聞的方式進行行銷，也具有出色的視覺美感。學者羅伯特·史密斯寫道，《原始交易（英语：）》（1948）“以天鵝絨般的黑色、薄霧、網，和其他富有詩意的黑色裝飾和照明的富有表現力的配飾而熠熠生輝”。期由安東尼·曼執導，約翰·奧爾頓（英语：）拍攝，由貧困行（英语：）的鷹獅電影公司（英语：）發行。
由小型的利佩特影業製作和發行的《X-M號火箭船（英语：）》（1950），被認為可能是“第一部後核大屠殺電影”。它處於一個大型電影週期的前沿，其中大部分是低預算的，更有許多早已被遺忘，而這些可歸類為“原子彈電影”。
《摩托瘋子（英语：）》（1965）並不難推向市場。它有導演魯斯·梅耶的色情名聲。騎車謀殺主題（MURDERcycles）很快證明了它在歷史上的流行地位；以及那個時髦的標題詞——瘋子（psycho）。
艾德·伍德的超低預算電影《外太空九號計劃》（1959）經常被稱為“史上最糟電影”
