Plan 9 from Outer Space (originally titled Grave Robbers from Outer Space, or simply known as Plan 9) is a 1959 American science fiction thriller film written and directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr. The film features Gregory Walcott, Mona McKinnon, Tor Johnson and Maila "Vampira" Nurmi. The film bills Bela Lugosi posthumously as a star, although silent footage of the actor had been shot by Wood for other, unfinished projects just before Lugosi's death in 1956.
Do you have a favorite "BAD" movie, that you seem to love and everyone else hates... you insist on making them watch, to see what you see?

It's a beautiful piece of buffoonery. "You SEE? You See? Your stupid minds. STUPID! STUPID!" You can't write this stuff.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, yes Halloween is quickly marching towards us.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thank goodness Mike and the Bots of MST3K got a hold of this one!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a bad movie I like. I know Hudson Hawk got a lot of hate when it came out, but I really liked it - not a bad movie though.
Lugosi...I think he was typecast...:)
ReplyDeleteLOL
Deleteone can't help but wonder how long did it take Vampira to shape those eyebrows :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame this was Legosi's last performance, but it's become enduring.
ReplyDeleteAny movie with intrinsic entertainment value can't really be deemed a "bad" movie. Plan 9 is most assuredly not an accomplished movie, but most viewers can find something to enjoy. This is one of several reasons I have such a problem with the term "guilty pleasure". If you enjoy a movie - regardless of specifically why - then don't be ashamed. I just can't subscribe to the notion that anyone intentionally makes a bad movie. Too many people expend too much effort on any given movie to believe that the notion of an intentionally bad movie is plausible. Thanks then, Jeremy, for making the term "bad" parenthetical in your post. It's all subjective.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I can think of loads of movies that I don't have any burning desire to watch a second time. ;) I can also think of plenty of movies deemed by majority to be "bad" that I hold dear. Have you ever seen The Giant Claw? Just thinking about it makes me smile.
Bad movie I actually liked??? There have been movies I've walked out on.
ReplyDeleteI like lots of movies people would consider bad, I guess. I enjoy lots of horror films and sequels usually can fall into this category. But, to each their own! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDelete"Plan 9" is a classic....love it!
