Here are the first nominees for the list of "must see" bad movies.
They are listed in order of "must-see" quality. 

(1) "Plan 9 from Outer Space" - The most popular bad movie so far on
	the net. Needs no further description, since it has been
	fully described in the discussion on Totally Bad Movies.

	CLASSIC SCENE: A pie plate suspended by a string with burning
	gasoline moves across the screen.


(2) "The Creeping Terror" - A rug with radiator hoses hanging from its
	head attacks people. Most of the sound in the film is bad
	narration, with occasional bad voiceovers and bad sound effects.

	CLASSIC SCENE: Man inside alien ship (full of 1950's electronic
	gear), banging a piece of metal against an old voltmeter. The
	narrator explains, "He tried to stop the transmitter, but the
	alien alloys in the ship weren't even dented by his efforts."


(3) "Mothra" - A giant moth, conjured up by the singing of two Japanese
	pixies, attacks earth.
	
	CLASSIC SCENE: Giant moth blows down buildings with the beating
	of its wings.


(4) "Godzilla vs Megalon" - Godzilla and a robot named "Jet-jaguar" battle
	a cockroach-shaped monster that rose from an undersea volcano.

	CLASSIC SCENE: The fist-fight between Megalon and Godzilla (even
	though neither have hands). Whenever one is knocked down, his
	victor jumps up and down in a little jig.

If you have other nominations, let me know. Some of the Totally Bad
Movies may qualify, if they gave you sufficient enjoyment. Be sure to
include with your nomination a brief description and a classic scene
which a first-time viewer should watch for.
