Three for sure on their own, plus 9 on MST3K or Rifftrax.

I don't know why PLAN 9 is on the 1 star rating.
Yes, it's BAD. But everyone likes it anyway. That doesn't seem fair. You don't see tee-shirts or comic books or model kits based on FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.

This scared the s**t out off me when this clip was used as part of the CHILLER THEATER opening in the 60's in upstate NY.

In fact, I'll bet dollars to donuts that this film has had more viewings than ANY film made in the 1950's.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13.

Glenn or Glenda is pretty weird, pretty stupid, & pretty pretentious, and I get the feeling Tim Burton never actually saw it...

Phantom From Space could've been a little more dull & formulaic, but for everyone contorting themselves into REALLY uncomfortable looking positions every time they curl up in an office chair & try to look relaxed... It's also saved by one of those rare occasions in which you see the police & the military working together instead of against each other...

Can I change my vote?

Seen:

1. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957)   - 9 (12.5%)

4. The Killer Shrews (1959)   - 7 (9.7%)

18. Unknown World (1951)   - 3 (4.2%)

20. The Day the Sky Exploded (1958)

Maybe a couple of others, tho I'm not sure. Didn't pay too much attention to Day the Sky Exploded; I was sick & I put in the DVD while in bed.

^ So far, it's got more views on these polls than any film from the 50's.

Right.  More people looked at PLAN 9 than BEN HUR.  Or PEYTON PLACE.  Or THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.  Or AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS.  Or FORBIDDEN PLANET.  Or GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS...

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS got four votes. PLAN 9 got 9.
My kids- and most people I talk to have seen PLAN 9 . AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS?
No young folks watch that nowadays. Unless the're into steampunk.

Post by: RCMerchant on April 05, 2021, 01:06:46 PM
Oh- and how many Ben Hur masks do you see? Compared to Tor Johnson?
They may be better movies- but they are not more popular in 2021.

Seen a couple but in MST3K format. BRIDE OF THE MONSTER is pretty bad but I have to admit that Lugosi's monologues are awesome. What a powerful and commanding voice he had.

NOT   A   CHANCE.  

Actually, your right. Disney cartoons have been seen by half the people on planet Earth.

Godzilla too. After that...I dunno...

And I bet there's a lot more rednecks with John Wayne ceramic statues on top of their end tables that I have seen more than anything.
Got  beer cans stacked up in the corner of his living room like a pyramid.

 :bouncegiggle:  An old friend of mine said to me about 30 years ago when her dad died (who liked JOHN WAYNE) to stop giving him john wayne plates mugs busts and CRAP!!!   :bouncegiggle:  I think he said to her: "I'm not queer for him!"   :thumbup: A cool NJ redneck vet who married Italian girl he met in WWII...

You inform me Ron, there is truth in what you said.  Methods of delivery have changed drastically, so it's so much easier to look at anything (particularly crap 'cause that's what I've long used the internet to look at).

^ Yeah- good and popular are not the same thing. These polls are based on what garbage people watch. "Good" is a personal thing.
PATHS OF GLORY is a Mona Lisa- PLAN 9 is a comic book.
I don't have a print of da Vinci on the wall. I do have a BRIDE OF THE MONSTER lobby card hanging on the wall.
More folks look at comic book s**t then they do art.

I respect people like Jack Kirby more than I do Jackson Pollock- some jerk off who just threw paint on a wall and calls it "art".
I am kinda a cartoonist myself, and it takes focus on what your doing to draw a cartoon. Pollack kinda s**t is...I dunno. I don't see the appeal. I just think rich people make themselves feel better by buying garbage from poor talentless artists who throw paint around who live in the East Village tried to make themselves cool by making themselves into an "elite"....

I'm really high.
