I tried to watch bad movies, it was a short lived experience for me. The scenes of Plan Nine that I've seen on youtube left me unimpressed. The "Garbage Day" scene again from youtube, which I showed to my cousin, left us all cold. Lastly I tried to watch a Godfrey Ho movie for its entertainment value. No such luck. Do you know why? It's because these examples are too good, and too professional from the viewpoint of a guy who has been watching Bollywood movies during his childhood. The really worst movies of all time could be summed up in movies that came out in India in the 80's. They were jawdroppingly amateurish and comical.
The South Indian film industry are the most removed from reality. They really believe that their superstar, Rajnikant, is the second most popular Asian actor, after Jackie Chan. The fans point out to this guy's cult following in Japan. It's like saying Ed Wood is a revered director. I think only the 'Oh my God' shot from Troll 2 drew laughs from me. That moment was really funny.
