Plan 9 from Outer space.
A movie so terrible that it ends up on the other side of the scale, somewhere around "unbelievably awesome". It is the prime example of "so bad, it's good."
Everything it does, it does wrong. EVERYTHING. The wobbly sets, the unconvincing special effects, the poor quality writing, the glaring continuity errors, the lack of general sense...everything! Apparently, university professors have been known to use it as an example of how NOT to make a movie.
It is essentially an anti-masterpiece. Ed Wood is the anti-genius. It is quite possibly one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

It is so terrible, it has to be seen to be believed. It is so terrible, it can't help but be one of my favourite films of all time.

And now I sound like one of these morons that take it WAY too seriously...

You are so right
With the star dying half way through and the replacement covering his face with his cape to hide that fact, its an all time fave of mine.

I've seen that.
It goes through 'so bad it's good' and come out the other side on to 'so bad it's liableto make you want to reanimate Ed Wood's corpse, just so you can smash him to bits with a hammer and then rape all the bits'.

Actually
...the movie 'Ed Wood' is pretty good -- especially Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi.

Plan 9...
A classic of its kind. Hubcap flying saucers, night turning to day and then back to night again, fluffed cues, actors obviously reading from hidden scripts, Tor Johnson looking like a total mong, Bela Lugosi dropping dead during shooting... Magnificent in its awfulness.
