Top 10 Best Worst Movies Of All Times

Someone recently asked me why I watch horrible movies like "Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama" or "Slumber Party Massacre". I said, you dont understand. It doesnt happen often, but in some cases movies are so BAD that they become GOOD. When this happens, a cult classic is born. Despite a nonexistent budget, terrible camera work, stupid monsters, unintelligible dialogue, horrid actors, or a completely confusing plot, these movies become standouts. I'm so happy that the guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax continue to bring many of these movies to new generations of viewers.

Below is my list of the top 10 movies that are so bad, they're good. I hope you have as much fun watching them as I do. Feel free to add your favorites in the comments below.

1. Plan 9 From Outer Space: 1957- written, directed and produced by Ed Wood. Extremely low budget. The flying saucer appears to be a pie plate. The gravestones are styrofoam. The film alternates between day time and night time for no reason. Bela Lugosi died at the start of filming. Wood's chiropractor then pretended to be him throughout the rest of the movie-- by walking around with a cape over his face. Also starring Vampira (in a silent role) and Swedish wresler Tor Johnson. The plot of the movie? Aliens try to keep us from blowing up the universe by resurrecting the dead and having them kill people? I have no idea.

2. Birdemic Shock and Terror: 2010- Made for $10,000 by James Nguyen it's supposed to be a homage to Hitchcock's "The Birds".These birds dont appear until 2/3 of the way through the movie. The rest is a guy driving around. He meets a girl. They recite painful dialogue. When the birds do arrive, they are clipart. They also spit acid and intermittently explode. People fight them off with coat hangers and guns. Too funny! There is also a sequel "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" but I havent seen it..

3. Manos: The Hand Of Fate: 1966- Made on a bet by fertilizer salesman John P Warren and a professional screenwriter. Warren "technically" won the bet and made a movie but it's a strange one. A family (Warren plays the father) gets lost while on a road trip through the desert. They end up at a house with a strange servant (Torgo), a doberman pincher and a whole lot of wives. The "master" returns home. He wears something that resembles a muumuu with large hands printed on it. He carries around a severed hand. The wives get into a fight that lasts 15 minutes. If that was supposed to be sexy, it didnt work.

4. Attack Of The Crab Monsters: 1957- The professor from "Gilligan's Island" stars. Crabs are mutated due to radioactive fallout. They not only eat people but also absorb their personalities-- which leads to some really smart crabs. They're also telepathic. This is from director Roger Corman (who was known for making cheap slocky movies).

5. Troll 2: 1990- Even though it has "2" in the title, it has nothing to do with the first movie. This movie features goblins not trolls. And the goblins are vegetarians. The goal is to turn humans into plants so they can eat them. Does that make sense? Of course not. There also a documentary about "Troll 2" called "Best Worst Movie".

6. The Creeping Terror: 1964- Earth is attacked by a large carnivorous alien slug. But its really a couple of guys wiggling around a section of shag carpet. Why can no one get away from the monster? He moved so slow I could have crawled away. The entire movie is narrated because the original audio tape fell into a lake and they didnt have enough money to reshoot.

7. Robot Monster: 1953- The "robot monster" is a guy in a gorilla suit with a divers helmet on his head. His plan is to destroy humanity. He spends a lot of time walking up and down a road in the desert. Oh and there's a bubble machine.

8. Wickerman: the 2006 version with Nicholas Cage. The older version with Christopher Lee is considered a classic and one of the best examples of "folk horror". Nicholas screams all the time. Make sure you dont miss the "bee" scene. Nicholas' special brand of "crazy" is unfortunately not an asset to this script. If you want to see something that works with Cage's acting skills, see "Mandy" instead.

9. Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes: 1978- Tomatoes revolt against humanity. A lot of tomatoes were killed during the making of this movie. There are two sequels (and a TV series) but I still havent found the third. It's named "Killer Tomatoes Eat France".

10. Night of the Lepus: 1973- A rabbit population control experiment gone wrong. Giant killer bunnies attack unsuspecting citizens. They run past (in slow motion) minature sets. You'll never look at a cute little bunny the same way.

11. BONUS- Zombeavers: 2014- Beavers exposed to toxic chemicals terrorize college kids in the woods. Think "Evil Dead" but with beavers.
