Plan 9 is not that bad, really.

Plan 9 is a masterpiece of badness. But it falls in the category of "so bad it's good". Really. I've seen it like 3 times and each time I realize even more how atrocious it is, but it's a sci-fi movie of the 50s made with no budget... a z-class movie. The same with its usual contender for the throne, Robot Monster, which I have seen only once, shame on me.
It's much worse when they waste millions of dollars in super-budget pieces of crap like Transformers 2. At least Ed Wood had true love for filmmaking. He was just terrible at actually doing it.

The acting is mostly bad, the plot drags a bit and the cinematography is about as unprofessional as can be, but I've seen dozens of less enjoyable movies.

Although it has its failings, I quite like 'Open Water'. I think the naturalistic / documentary style helps to build up a real sense of peril. It is a million times better than any of the Jaws sequels.
It's almost impossible to say what is the worst film ever. There are so many routine, formulaic, cliched movies churned out every year. An especially bad one that springs to mind is Batman and Robin (Batman played by George Clooney - what was he thinking????)

I could see Plan 9 being a movie thats honestly enjoyable because it is so comically awful.
Another movie I never saw but have heard as the worst ever was
Gymkata.

Other - Bugsy.
That was as close as I have ever been to actually falling asleep at the cinema. My girlfriend at the time did.

I totally insist in watching Robot Monster... A movie with the best dialogues in the history of mankind...
"Caught with Alice, Ro-Man tries to explain things to the boss:
Ro-Man: “There is one thing you do not understand, Great Guidance.”
Great One, incredulous: “You reject the Plan?”
Ro-Man: “I wish to make an estimate of my own.” Great One: “To think for yourself is to be like the Hu-Man!” Ro-Man: “Yes! To be like the Hu-Man! To laugh, feel, want! Why are these things not in the Plan”
Great One: “You are an extension of the Ro-Men, and a Ro-Man you will remain. Now I set you into motion. One, destroy the girl. Two, destroy the family. Fail, and I will destroy you!”
Ro-Man: “I cannot, yet I must. How do you calculate that?! At what point on the graph do ‘must’ and ‘cannot’ meet? Yet I must! But I cannot.”

I hate it when the "other" option dominates a poll but I have no choice but to vote for it because The Room conquers every other movie ever made as the worst anyone can find.

Plan 9 is actually a "classis" of the genre. Bad yes, but awesome. How about "It Conquered The World", with Lee Van Cleef, and Peter Graves? A real stinker, in my opinioin.

WOW!!! That has to be the dialogue I have EVER read...My God!  Reading this restored my faith in the power of words. So powerful and yet so comical.

hey, I'm a proud owner of "The Stupids"
It is firmly in the "so bad, it's good" category

the first is quite good as I recall hmm, so many bad ones.. Force 10 From Navarone was a pretty atrocious sequel to the first, as was The Class of '44

Bats, Dr Casper, Bats.
Bats.
Also The Haunting in Connecticut. Truly awful.
(p.s. MST3K is fantastic!)

Just watched the MST3K episode for The Skydivers and I have to say that it's a step below Red Zone Cuba, as hard as that may be to believe. Coleman Francis was just awful.

For me there are two kinds of bad film........
A:The "So Bad Its Good"(as some have already mentioned) film,these are the films that are undeniably bad but have a certain fascination that allows one to sit through it,and even to watch again at a later stage.
B:The "So bad its unwatchable" film,these are the ones you turn off after a certain length of time because you cant sit through it and never watch it again.i think these are the TRULY bad films
Have to agree with some entries here,"Plan Nine" is bad but i have seen it least three times,there is just something about it that makes me want to forgive it.(and i have seen much worse.)
As for "Worst Movie Ever Made"? that,for me, could be any number of movies i simply could not sit all the way through,one recent example was Crocodile Dundee 3,go nowhere scenes,tired gags he did(to death) on the old "Paul Hogan Show" ,........after about half an hour i switched off.

The worst film I ever saw had Joe Strummer , Elvis Costello , maybe a fe more Clash/Pogues or some - but it was AWFUL . Acting was crap , no plot . Can't remember the title of it at present , I mean , some films are so bad they are actually good ( take the original " Inglorious b*****ds " for instance ) , this goes beyond BAD - it gives bad films a bad name .
I'll find the name later . Something to do with Hell I think .
