Frankenstein Island
Frankenstein Island is a strong contender for “worst film of all time”. It’s a hodgepodge of ideas thrown together incoherently
Frankenstein Island
The Castle of Fu Manchu
The evil Dr. Fu Manchu plans to freeze the world’s ocean, unless Sir Dennis Nayland Smith can prevent it. So he seizes a Turkish castle for its supply of opium?

Fire Maidens of Outer Space
Fire Maidens of Outer Space (1956) starring Anthony Dexter, Susan Shaw, Paul Carpenter
Fire Maidens of Outer Space is a cheesy 1956 movie, where space explorers travel to Jupiter’s 13th moon to find … beautiful Atlanteans?

Robot Monster
Speaking of cheesy monster movies — here’s Robot Monster. Ro-Man, an alien that looks like a gorilla in a diving helmet, has destroyed all but six people on the planet Earth. He spends the film trying to finish them off. Until he falls for the young woman in the group. Love that bubble machine!

Batman & Robin
Batman & Robin – the worst of the Batman movies so far. Literally, a two-hour toy commercial. Although Arnold Schwarzenegger has a good time!

Plan 9 from Outer Space
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) starring Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, Vampira, directed by Ed Wood
What can be said about Plan 9 from Outer Space that hasn’t already been said? It’s clearly the cheesiest of cheesy monster movies. It’s been considered for many years the worst movie that has ever been made – although there are other contenders.
In short, aliens from Outer Space plan to destroy Earth by reanimated corpses as an unstoppable army. In that respect, it’s similar to Invisible Invaders – another low-budget invasion movie. However, Invisible Invaders also has good acting and a relatively sensible script. Plan 9 from Outer Space has neither of those.

The Swarm
The Swarm (1978) by Irwin Allen, starring Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, Richard Widmark, Olivia de Havilland, Henry Fonda, Fred MacMurray
Irwin Allen did quite a few disaster movies (The Poseidon Adventure, Airport) that were commercial, if not always critical, successes. The Swarm, in contrast, was a flop both commercially and critically — and a massive waste of some very good acting talent as well.
