Wow. I just finished watching probably one of the greatest bad films in existence. I've seen Reefer Madness, I've seen Hobgoblins, and I've even seen Gigli (not really. I don't have a death wish), but the king of all bad films is Ed Wood's classic Plan 9 From Outer Space. Yes, Hobgoblins was worse, but good luck finding a copy. And besides, it's more fun to watch Plan 9 because Ed Wood honestly thought he was making a masterpiece. The dialogue is poorly thought out, but filled with character. You'll watch incredulously as footage is shamelessly re-used; as actors fumble their lines and bump into scenery. Ed didn't care. One take was apparently good enough for him. I'm actually surprised I finished it, but eventually you hit a wall where you can just take in all the crap and not care anymore. It's not a movie that you enjoy, or even experience. It's a movie that happens to you.
