It's time to pick the best of the worst. Who among these people best deserves the recognition as the best worst director? Which one is really the king of crap? You decide.

Michael Bay is not a b-movie or z-movie director. That's why.

It's kind of hard to vote on this, as it depends on what you mean by best.  I assumed best in a legitimate directing ability sense.  In that case, Roger Corman, who is a legitimately good director.  For example, Masque of the Red Death, X, or Little Shop of Horrors.  Stuart Gordon is also up there.

If it's favourite director, then it's Ed Wood.  If it's best directing skills, Roger Corman, in my opinion.

Tough choice.  I went with Charles Band.  Though he's got a pretty spotty record, Full Moon in all its various incarnations has turned out quite a lot of schlock that I love.  Jim Wynorski is another favorite, but I think Band has the quantity advantage.

It's all about the directing/storytelling sense.

No Andy Milligan?! No Jerry Warren?!!

Anyways, Ed Wood's bad movies were always entertaining at least. But the man who I feel has the biggest link to the most massive number of true bad and B-movies, albeit many of them surprisingly watchable and entertaining, is none other than Roger Corman.

Uwe Boll on the list but no William Castle???  Wink

I have to agree with JaseSF on this one, Corman has made some of my favorite genre pictures of all time, most of them with Vincent Price. Stuart Gordon is another one whose films I really enjoy.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
