Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)
If you consider yourself a "cineaste", then you need to know Edward D. Wood, Junior., named the ‘Worst Director of All-Time’ in 1980 by the Golden Turkey Awards and his entire filmography is a list of the worst films of all time, the most infamous being Plan 9 from Outer Space, a Sci-Fi B-movie (Well, it’s more of a Z-movie) flick made on a budget of $60,000 and unrelated footage of Bela Lugosi. Despite the fact that the film has been named by numerous critics as the worst film ever made and is about as culturally bankrupt as a television series that celebrates Paris Hilton’s “celebrity” lifestyle, it is still an enjoyable film. It is the quintessential ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ film, where you laugh at the film’s incompetence and awful special effects and you should really see it, because words are hard to describe why this film is good, which I will try.

The Mist (2007)
The Mist is another film adapting itself from a Stephen King novel and….that’s not really that bad since many films based on Stephen King books are good, but it has to fall upon the director to make it good. In this case; it’s Frank Darabont, nominated for three Academy Awards and a Golden Globe and known for writing for the 1988 remake of The Blob and The Fly II, but also known for directing the brilliant The Shawshank Redemption and the OK Green Mile. So with good source material and a credible director who works well with that certain source material, how can it fail?
