    Whenever I see Plan 9 I have to recommend Ed Wood to anyone who’ll listen. Tim Burton was at his peak when he directed it, and it’s a far cry from the family friendly flicks like “Batman” or “Edward Scissorhands” he was doing at the time. Easily the best thing Burton’s done, and the cast is awesome.

      extra trivia bit - Vincent D’Onofrio played Orson Welles in a little cameo by the end of the movie - he later did a short film fictionalizing the way Welles came up with the cuckoo clock speech for The Third Man. It is very silly but VD goes hard.

      I agree. Martin Landau is so mesmerizing as Bela Lugosi I have always forgotten how the real Lugosi looked like, he’s that good. The only other instance of this I can remember is Helen Mirren as the Queen.
