Plan 9 From Outer Space

Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) – It’s almost certainly the most poorly-made film of all time; it couldn’t be more incoherent, but it’s a delight to watch for the innumerable errors, horrible acting, awful sets and atrocious dialogue; this is the king of all unintentionally hilarious films. 2

  1. Don’t pass on Plan 9 just because it’s a horrible movie. It’s a wonderful, wonderful horrible movie. Allow me to entice you with the marvelous opening narration:

    “Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future. You are interested in the unknown. The mysterious. The unexplainable. That is why you are here. And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are bringing you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony of the miserable souls who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places. My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts of grave robbers from outer space?”
