There are some movies that are just so bad you end up enjoying them, mostly because you just sit there in amazement wondering how something like this could actually be made. Well here is a list of 5 of the best worst movies of all time.
Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)
The Orson Welles of awesomely bad filmmaking is indisputably Ed Wood and this flick is his “Citizen Kane.” To criticize the staggering incompetence of “Plan 9 From Outer Space” is like ridiculing a child’s drawing for not understanding perspective. Sure, the film features gasoline soaked paper plates posing as UFOs, ghouls terrorizing housewives in cardboard cemeteries, and talk of a bomb that makes sunlight explode, but Wood’s vision is so earnest and pure that the “Plan 9″ seems strangely wholesome. And it’s no more frightening than your average episode of “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.”
Showgirls (1995)
“Showgirls” was advertised as a racy erotic thriller, proudly wearing its “NC-17″ rating on its bedazzled sleeve. But instead of “Basic Instinct” — director Paul Verhoeven and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas’s previous collaboration — audiences got something much weirder and sleazier. What do you make of a scene where the two main characters bond over their shared childhood love of dog food? Or that bizarre swimming pool love scene with Kyle MacLachlan? “Showgirls” is filled unhinged moments like these. And they didn’t happen on accident. Though star Elizabeth Berkeley delivers a go-for-broke, completely exposed — in all senses of the term — performance, you can almost hear Paul Verhoeven snickering in the background.
The Room (2004)
To describe Tommy Wiseau’s staggeringly awful opus is no easy feat. Even people who have seen the flick multiple times aren’t really sure what the story is about except that it centers on a guy who mumbles a lot, his harpy of a girlfriend, and a whole lot of subplots that go nowhere. Yet “The Room” has developed a “Rocky Horror Picture Show” like cult following in Los Angeles. Every month, the movie’s many mavens line up around the block to shout at the screen and reenact some of the flick’s best lines. Rumor has it that Wiseau is planning a sequel.
The Wicker Man (2006)
The 1973 original, which was hailed as a classic of British horror, has an ending that still shocks. The 2006 remake is also riveting but for all the wrong reasons, combining Neil LaBute’s trademark misogyny taken reductio ad absurdum with some of the most preposterously hammy acting of Nicolas Cage’s career. And that’s saying something. The film’s high (or low) point comes when Cage, dressed in a bear suit, cold-cocks a young maiden. Yes, you read that right.
Birdemic (2009)
Director James Nguyen leapt into the ranks of schlock-tastic auteurs with his lo-fi, achingly sincere homage to Hitchcock about a young couple struggling from a scourge of exploding vultures. Yet everything about the film just feels wrong, from editing that mysteriously lingers on an establishing shot too long to the somnambulist acting. But it’s the special effects that really sends the movie into Ed Wood territory: the pixilated birds look more like they were taken off of a screensaver. You half expect to see a flying toaster float past.
I haven’t seen some of these but Troll 2 is missing from this list.

Former Dancing with the Stars alumni Melanie Brown and Kelly Monaco are trading the ballroom for a Las Vegas stage.
Monaco and Brown – a Dancing winner and runner-up respectively – are set to star in PEEPSHOW, a topless, burlesque-style performance that is expected to open in March at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.
Neither Brown nor Monaco will be topless, but the showgirls surrounding them will be. Brown will be “scantily clad, but in a classy way,” she says.
Monaco’s character in the show will be “Little Bo Peep,” a timid and lonely girl who is guided by Brown’s character, “Peep Diva.”
“This is an original show. The Peep Diva is a diva, but it’s all about empowering Kelly’s part.”
Adds Brown, “This part is great for me. As a Spice Girl I would bring guys on the stage and whip them, so I think I’ve always been slightly naughty.”
The Dancing stars are set to star in the show for several months. A rotation of celebrities is expected to headline PEEPSHOW.
“I’m very nervous and very excited,” says Monaco.
