I must admit i love patriotic movies especially those glorifying working class and honest proud individuals. Plan 9, besides all other aspects that have been criticed and admired number of times, is deeply patriotic. I was in a good way entertained by the characters of the inspector, pilot, colonel, army general and such holding pathetic, flaming speeches.
For the very same reason i love all movies from the Godzilla series with all their patriotism, didacticism and cultural references. In many j-horror movies the plight is initiated by desecrated altars, unjust treatment and wrongly offended souls. I will elaborate on it later.
This is one of the cutest Z-movies from 1959. After having been reviewed as the "worst film ever made" and referensed in popular culture for 50+ years, it became cult. The great cast includes Bela Lugosi and Maila Nurmi.

What do they want? Where're they from? Where're they going?
