The site says, "...the meaning of “best” here is “most entertaining,” ... If these films are painful, they’re also equally fun."

I've seen 17 of these if you count the one I didn't finish. I haven't even heard of most of them. Sometimes I think obscure films deserve their obscurity.

  2. My my - I love the titles of these movies! Had to check out number 1 on imdb and found this classy quote: "If brains were birdshit you'd have a clean cage." LOL I´ve only seen "Plan 9..." in connection with that film about Ed Wood by Tim Burton, on Swedish television. I´m glad I saw it, but wouldn´t go look for more.
