I recall a very bad science fiction movie, on a par with Plan 9, but I'm
not sure of the name.  It might be "Space Monster".  The alien is played
by a man in a gorilla suit wearing a spherical helmet from an
old-fashioned deap-sea diving suit.  He keeps calling up his superiors
on an old TV set.  I think he harasses a family that is on an outing of
some kind.  There's lots of screaming and fainting women.

The name of that film is Robot Monster.  I agree that it should be on the
list of bad movies.  While we're at it, I'll also nominate Glen or Glenda,
Hercules, and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.

By the way, we can't exclude Plan 9 from the list, just because it's so bad
it's funny - if we do that, all the worst films will be missing.
