So we gave up and turned to Prime Video, which is where we came across a documentary titled “The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made.” I figured it was merely a list of Elvis flicks, but his, it turns out, were Shakespearean in comparison. What else can you say about a list in which “They Saved Hitler’s Brain” was only considered to be the 39th worst movie ever made? Movies about women — most of them running around screaming and wearing tight sweaters — were prominent in the ‘50s. According to the documentary, the worst movie of all time was “The Unworldly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Zombies.” Which clearly was the worst movie title of all time. But my vote for worst movie would have gone to “The Thing With Two Heads,” a 1972 classic involving an arthritic white bigot having his head surgically attached to the body of a healthy Black, convict.
