Ooh, this is one damn tough question! Tough because what is considered a good movie (or a bad one) is up to each individuals's taste and own interpretation. Same reason why a movie critic's top 10 best films list might greatly differ from the opinion of the ordinary movie-goer.
Anyway, for my money this little flick right here is priceless.
Plan 9 From Outer Space is my idea of "the best movie ever made." It was directed by the awesomely talented and respected director Ed Wood, who made many other fine flicks (although I can't recall any right now). Plan 9 From Outer Space (originally titled The Grave Robbers From Outer Space) was made on a shoestring budget in 1959 and had everything a sci-fi/horror flick could hope for: aliens,zombies,vampires,ghouls,grave robbers,weirdos - you name it!
Also memorable is the fact that it starred the original Dracula, Bela Lugosi, in his last role before his death.
Another star worth mentioning is the exotic Vampira, kind of like a Morticia Addams lookalike. Vampira was to 1950s tv audiences what Elvira Mistress Of The Dark, was to 1980s movie viewers: bimbo-like but gothically attractive!
Anyway, this is a short little flick (approx 73mins) so it won't bore you by keeping you glued to your couch for hours like those overrated Hollywood epics.
If you haven't seen this movie, do yourselves a favour and pick up a copy. It is available on dvd in stores or on ebay for about $2.95.
If you are acquainted with Plan 9 From Outer Space, then I need not say more.
Plan 9 From Outer Space ~ it's outta this world!!!
