Ed Wood (1994)
Ed Wood is Tim Burton's biopic based (loosely) on the life of cult auteur shit director Edward D. Wood Jr, a man known as much for writing, producing, directing, and starring in the first pro-transvestite film ever made, the unfortunately execrable Glen or Glenda (1953), Bride of the Monster (1955), and the all-time Turkey Award Winning (at least, according to the Medved Brothers and their book, The Golden Turkey Awards) outer space ghoul grave robbing flying saucer flick, Plan Nine from Outer Space (1957), starring a pitiful reel of stock footage of a tragic Bela Lugosi, who had already died. The source material for this movie, jazz guitarist Rudolph Grey's book, Nightmare of Ecstacy: The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood Junior (Feral House, 1990) is, as John Waters notes, a "jaw-dropping" read. The movie is more of a send-up, satire, but has enough heartfelt schmaltz and good vibes to warm the heart of even the most jaded video viewer.
