** The book also doesn't mention the most famous older "bad movies" of all: ''Film/PlanNineFromOuterSpace'' and ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', as they weren't well-known to a mainstream audience. However, the book does state that it refrains from listing small-budget films in order to be fair (even though it does list a few cheap movies like ''Film/RobotMonster'' and ''Film/{{Eegah}}'' nonetheless).

Decades later, much fewer people can relate and understand.
