Some movies gain a reputation for being so bad they-re good. Here are 6 that fit the bill (listed by year of release):

“The Terror of Tiny Town’ (1938): The only thing original about this western is the all-midget cast playing against full-sized sets. The film has gained a reputation for its off-kilter concept, but the effort comes up short.

“Plan 9 From Outer Space’ (1959): Often considered the worst movie ever made. Ed Wood Jr.-s sci-fi magnum opus of aliens, zombies and miscellaneous footage featuring Bela Lugosi set the standard for grade-Z cinema.

“The Giant Spider Invasion’ (1975): Spiders from another dimension are on the attack and not even bad acting and lousy production values can stop them. A line from the trailer sums things up: “There has never been a movie like this before.’

“Showgirls’ (1995): The writer and director of “Basic Instinct’ came up with this salacious story of sleaze, sex and sadism in the strip clubs of Las Vegas. The provocative film provoked only laughter from the audience.

“Battlefield: Earth’ (2000): John Travolta squandered a lot of his “Pulp Fiction’ cred when he starred in this ill-conceived adaptation of L. Ron Hubbard-s novel. The sci-fi “epic’ suffers from over-the-top acting and leaden pacing throughout.The information doesn-t stop now. Keep looking: Ezekiel 25:17 Pulp Fiction: Samuel L Jackson Thoughts by Brian Cimins
