Plan 9 from Outer Space is without question the absolute worst movie I've ever seen, but it's become a classic that's worth sitting through once just for the experience; I often forget movies completely, but I still remember a lot of this one years after seeing it. It could be a lesson in why the person who oversees continuity has such an important job in making a movie.

A more recent dog of a movie: The Island of Dr. Moreau. Just awful; made no sense at all. The one thing that makes it interesting, however, is the truly bizarre performance by Marlon Brando, which is worth the cost of a rental.

Then there are the movies that are so bad they fun to watch -- well, at least watch once. Has anybody seen Nice Girls Don't Explode? How about Assault of the Killer Bimbos? The latter is notable for having one of the longest "deaths" of any movie I've seen. Like a monster in a horror movie (or the dog in The Omen) who just doesn't die no matter how many bullets are pumped into it, a normal human goes through this for at least 10 minutes. There's also Amazon Women on the Moon, which is a spoof of these sorts of bad movies with lots of unrelated skits, from those wonderful folks who brought you Kentucky Fried Movie, that yet ends up being terrible itself.

Well, thanks for helping me waste some time this morning!
