Plan 9 From Outer Space

Director: Edward D. Wood Jr.
Year Released: 1959
Rating: 3.0

Now notorious sci-fi film from 'world's worst director' which has lasted forty plus years and will no doubt last countless more - it defies standard criticism. It's sad how people still call this 'the worst movie ever made' when there are so many passionless pictures out there that truly deserve the title. Wood may not have been the most talented filmmaker or blessed with any sort of technique - but his love of the cinema was genuine, which is more than you could say about today's style-heavy but aloof (and, for some, uneducated) batch of directors.
