plan 9 is just the most famous worst film ever. it was voted that some 
years ago so it clings to that title. the director (ed wood) was a loon 
and transvestite among other things (like a bad director). he even made 
a movie about this called glen or glenda! they made a recent bio-pic 
about him called ed wood. so he is famous for some of the worst movies 
ever made and they made a move about him because of that! :)

but one of the cheapest bad movies ever made is actually kind of good - 
the original b&w little shop of horrors. with jack nicholson in an early 
role as a masochistic dental patient. it was shot in 2 days on a set 
left over from another movie that was scheduled to be torn down. a roger 
corman classic that has to be the best value ever in making a movie 
(cost about $20k to make). a must be seen movie!

thanx,
