LOL

I picked PLAN 9 as well-but I,too,wish the list could have been larger.The BRAIN that WOULDN'T DIE would have been #1. BRAIN from PLANET AROS was good to.I must have a thing about movies with "brain" in the title....BRAAAAIIIINS!!!!

[Scott]

Your right the list should be larger. I was thinking THE ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY as well. Always loved the title alone and the film has it's moments also. 

[Flangepart]

I say Plan 9.  Its so iconic, overblown, full of "high concept,  well intentioned, low-budget,  yet still so BAD. And being in the FUTURE where we spend the rest of our lives, we were effcected by these future events! 
-Ed

Gotta agree, though, Robot Monster is a classic. For sheer repeated viewing pleasure, its "Well, inspector Clay is dead....murdered...and somebodys responsable" for me!
"Your stupid minds! Stupid,stupid!.."

Voted for Plan 9, but that's more due to me not having alot of access to the other films and thus not seeing them.  Manos and Robot Monster have been on my 'must buy if I see it regardless' list though for a while.

[Scott]

You can find a DVD copy of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE for $10 most any place and ROBOT MONSTER, BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS, MANOS HANDS OF FATE, EEGAH for $5.99 on DVD from oldies.com or just about any DVD location.

If you really want to see them now then PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and the other films can be watched in segments on Youtube. The other films on Youtube from the poll are the Mystery Theater 3000 versions.

Best to see these B-Classics on a your TV.

All good selections but I went with Manos: The Hands of Fate.   There's just something about Torgo that can't be denied.  And there's nothing like a movie created by a manuer(sp?) salesman!

[Scott]

If you want a film added to this poll make a comment about it and I'll add it to the list. Also you can now change your vote if you wish.

Just added:

THEY SAVED HITLERS BRAIN
ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY

[BoyScoutKevin]

An easy choice, as so far, I've only seen one of them, "Plan 9 from Outer Space."

[Just Plain Horse]

while I'm glad you put both Robot Monster and Manos on the list, I have to say The Brain That Wouldn't/ Couldn't/ Didn't Die would be my number one pick. Manos would probably come in second (I'm sure Andrew found watching the non-MST3k version like waiting for paint to peel, but once I've seen a movie given the treatment, I can watch the regular version and hear all the comments added in my head... kind of weird when I think about it...).

[Dennis]

I would pick teenage caveman, the one with Robert Vaughn, I've heard of but never watched Robot Monster. I believe that the gorrilla with a diving helmet is in this movie too, in fact it wouldn't surprise me to find out this is Robot Monster with a new name.

[Scott]

Welcome to the board Dennis. I haven't seen TEENAGE CAVEMAN yet, but wouldn't mind checking it out. Only recieve 3 stars at imdb.

You are thinking about the costume from Night of the Blood Beast.  It also appears in "Teenage Caveman."
