The Most Beloved 'Bad' Movies Ever Made (Ep 2)

These aren't just B-movies. These are B-movies that became cultural events. People bring wire hangers to midnight screenings. People show up in bear suits. People throw plastic spoons at the screen in unison like it's a religious ceremony. Episode 2 of The Ultimate Guide to B-Movies covers the beautiful disasters — the ten films that proved being terrible could be a feature, not a bug. Part 1 -    • Every Great Creature Feature Ranked — The ...   #100. Hobgoblins (1988) #99. Eegah (1962) #98. The Creeping Terror (1964) #97. Monster A-Go-Go (1965) #96. Robot Monster (1953) #95. The Giant Claw (1957) #94. Teenagers from Outer Space (1959) #93. Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) #92. Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) #91. Things (1989) This batch spans from the furniture-based horror of Death Bed: The Bed That Eats, a film its own director didn't know had a fanbase, through the wig-swapping miracle of Samurai Cop and the stolen Star Wars footage of Turkish Star Wars. Sharknado broke Twitter and turned ironic bad movie watching into mainstream entertainment. Nicolas Cage punched women in a bear suit in The Wicker Man remake. John Travolta spent seventy million dollars on the Dutch-angled Scientology epic Battlefield Earth. Faye Dunaway screamed herself hoarse as Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest and Paramount re-released it as a comedy. Troll 2 has no trolls, was directed in broken English by an Italian who still insists it's a serious film, and spawned one of the best documentaries ever made. Tommy Wiseau spent six million dollars of mystery money on The Room and created a worldwide phenomenon. And Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space started the whole movement with hubcap flying saucers and a chiropractor standing in for a dead Bela Lugosi. These are the films that proved bad can mean beloved, bad can mean immortal, and bad can pack a theatre sixty-five years after release. Part 2 #90. Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977) #89.
