And once in a while he could talk a few of us to sitting down and watching one with him. He showed us this one film that as so bad I can’t believe it got made. Anyway I don’t remember the Title but it was one of those low budget black and white films. Basically the whole idea was aliens from outer space where coming to take over the Earth. So here is my list of things wrong with the film.
1. The acting- It was cheesy, and I mean really cheesy. The type of stuff drama instructors have nightmares about. From some people not being it able to talk properly to intense over acting.
2. Special effects- I know it’s an old movie but you can see the zipper on the alien suits. And you tell the suit is made of tin foil… I should’t be seeing a string attached to the UFO when it’s flying also…
3. A dead actor- Okay let me clarify. The lead actor died before the film was finished and for some reason the role couldn’t be re-cast. So the studio used a cardboard cut to replace him in some scenes and dubbed his voice. I am not bullshitting here people… It was awful…
There are probably other things wrong but I can’t remember them right now…

The movie you are describing is the classic Ed Wood production 'Plan Nine From Outer Space', which is pretty much regarded by gourmands of bad movies to the worst.
However I tend to feel that a truely bad movie is one that has everything going for it and totally destoys itself.
'The Avengers' falls inot that catagory. Great people, good set pieces, awful movie.
'Batman & Robin' truely sucked.
'Cleopatra' had Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, it was awful.
