One of my favorite movies is Planet Terror. Robert Rodriguez did the movie as a kind of spoof on older movies, and it was released in theaters as "Grindhouse," with the movie 'Deathproof' playing with it, done in the style of early drive in movies. The whole movie has a layer over it like it is being shown on an old projector, with scratches, and at one point in the movie there is actually 'missing slides to the reel,' which was, of course, done on purpose. The overall plot is done as a bad zombie movie, full of plot holes and terrible dialogue. Even the main character is meant to be a play on how 'bad' movies used to be, the character being a go-go dancer who wants to be a comedian, who ends up with a gun/rocket launcher for a leg, after it is ripped off by zombies. But even after all of this, I feel it was done extremely well, and fully accomplished what Rodriguez initially set out to do.
