Ed (motherfucking) Wood

[countchocula]

Let's talk about Ed Wood. Baby. Let's talk about you and me.

Sorry. I have the Ed Wood box set that contains five of his films. It also includes a comprehensive documentary that is worth a watch, if I do say so myself. Of course, Tim Burton's Ed Wood is captivating. What are your favorites? Thoughts? Opinions? Hip-hop lyrics?

Shitty filmmaker, but his incompetance helped his films (especially Plan 9) achieve a surrealist quality second to none for films of the era and (attempted) genre....:D

Tim Burton's Ed Wood is one of the best comedies of all time and no doubt his greatest masterpiece. Ed Wood himself I can't say so much for, except that he also made some of the greatest comedies of all time...

I have never seen any of Wood's films,however I do not doubt for a second that the Anti-Christ of film,tim burton,did not do the man any justice. :p

I have yet to see a single film by Ed Wood. I can however speak for Tim Burton's Ed Wood. That film is one of the greatest films of all time (yeah, I went that far) and just made Ed Wood as a person just so damn captivating.

Last year I caught a midnight showing of Plan 9 at the Arts Cinema near my house. I gotta say it was one of the best times I've ever had at the movies.

Ed Wood is my favorite film (among many, but this one stands out especially). I have in fact seen Bride Of The Monster and Plan 9. I had a good time with them, I know many of us do. They are pieces of shit though which isn't a secret either.

I might come back and touch a little more on this as I adore Ed Wood (by Tim Burton) and I agree with Zombievictim... it is one of the best films ever made.

I have to ask,what is the plot of Plan 9?I know that it involves extraterrestrials of some sort,but any other detail is beyond me.

I really think that watching Tim Burton's Ed Wood (which somehow got Johnny Depp robbed of a nod), makes you appreciate these films much more. I love how much heart he had in making the movies no matter how bad they were. Plan 9 is pretty shittastic :D

It's about grave robbers from outer space. The film's original title was actually Grave Robbers From Outer Space.

THX for the summation,Count. Reminds me of Hellraiser's working title,Sadomassochists From Beyond The Grave.
