Presenting the “so bad it’s good” movie thread. You know you’ve been wanting it, or if you didn’t, now you do.
From time to time, I may be putting up some unintentionally funny bad movies, and you are encouraged to do the same (I have quite a list now). We begin with a true bad movie classic from 1959 — “Grave Robbers from Outer Space,” later retitled and released as “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” directed by the man hailed by many critics as worst director ever, Edward D. Wood, Jr.
The priceless badness is made, not so much in the writing and plot, as in the execution and in the atrociously redundant and horribly written dialog. Yes, we’re talking iconically bad.
As I sit around bored with a second cup of coffee on my last night on the night shift (I begin the new job day after tomorrow! Yippee!), I decided to do a re-watch of this film. Believe me, watching this is worth it! So, wherever you are, turn off your cell phone, make some popcorn, and enjoy!
Two different movies, both intentionally made bad.
First one, my Favorite, Deathproof starring Kurt Russell by written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
Great car chases that were made without computers, good humor and violence.
Wife hates it which makes it even more enjoyable to me:)
She will be upstairs and as soon as she hears the backround music, she’ll yell down, what are watching that awful movie again?
Second one Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, not as good but still cheezy enough.
Anyway, those are my votes for now.
I remember I saw the 1954 film Jail Bait, the 1967 film Journey to the Center of Time along with the classic Plan 9 From Outer Space in a bad movie marathon a couple of years ago.
I just Googled that film, and it looks hilarious! I’ll be watching it this weekend for a good laugh. Thanks!
Reefer Madness was not filmed as a hollywood movie though, it was a church made film to be shown to parents, so it doesn’t really fit in with the Hollywood efforts.
