It's great. I mean lines like "Visits? Well that would indicate visitors" are still hilarious, but it's actually pretty good. Yes low-budget, yes you can see the strings, yes the acting is wooden (no pun intended), but it actually has some great ideas. The dialogue is unnatural and sounds silly, but is abstract and absurd. "Inspector Clay is dead...murdered...and somebody's responsible!" I love all of the scenes on the flying saucer, and "stupid minds" line, and the ending in which the saucer catches fire and blows up mid-air is hilarious.
Really though, it's a good film. It's both interesting and laughable.
On now to Glen or Glenda. This one really is marvellous though. I used to just laugh at it, but now that I see that it's a great film.

My favourite :
Jeff : "So what if we do develop this Solanite bomb? We'd be even a stronger nation than now!"
Eros : "Stronger! You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!

A real classic that so many people love. I wish you would post it on the Classic board where I think you would draw a lot of interest and many responses. The CFB? I...think I'll pass.. Where's naeemak when you need him?

If you started out trying to make a movie this bad, you'd fail to make one with so much charm. Way too many great lines and gaffes to mention. I really miss the old "delete your post Plan 9 style" thread from the old board.
This post was deleted. Whatever it was, it's gone now.

I was thinking today how Danny is a douche, especially when he says: "We've got thirty-three passengers back there that have time to be preoccupied. Flying this flybird doesn't give you that opportunity." Jeff is the captain and shouldn't take that crap from his co-pilot.

steven18Part of its charm is that it takes itself so seriously. If it were trying to be a "spoof" it just wouldn't work. These guys seriously thought that they were making a wonderful film and they did. They told the story using the best methods and props that they had.

These guys seriously thought that they were making a wonderful film and they did. They told the story using the best methods and props that they had. Agreed. I don't even really consider Plan 9 a bad film, but it's the films that really tried so hard to be something great, and then just fell flat on their faces that are the best bad films. Pearl Harbor is so unbelievable that I can't tell if it's terrible or secretly brilliant. "flyin' isn't about dials and switches...it's' about heart.." ..no, i'm pretty sure those dials and switches are important or you would go plummeting to the ground. I find films that try to be terrible and say "look how stupid this har har" just aren't funny at all.
