"Plan Nine From Outer Space" Video
Billed as "The Great Bela Lugosi's Last Film," Plan Nine is often referred to as the Citizen Kane of bad movies. Slapped together by the legendary Ed Wood Jr., the entire film was built around a couple of minutes of Lugosi footage shot just before he died in 1956. Aliens invade the Earth and awaken the dead in their bid to take over the world.
Although it's often referred to as the "worst film of all time," I find the film entertaining in its ineptness. Plan Nine also stars Tor Johnson, Mona McKinnon, Dudley Manlove (as Eros the Alien!) and Vampira. Narrator Criswell repeatedly asks the audience, "Can you prove it didn't happen?"

I love Plan 9, it truly is the best worst movie ever. The cheezy dialogue, shaky plot, bad editing and more all add up to make a movie that should be too painful to watch, but isn't. I laugh everytime I watch this I laugh.
