Joey, QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE indeed belongs in the patheon of so-awful-it's-fabulous films!
Here's another great one that NEEDS to be on DVD (Or better yet, re-issued on the big screen): LOVE HAS MANY FACES, with Lans Turner, Cliff Robertson and Hugh "Yum" O'Brian.
Here's the plot, paraphrased from a helpful reviewer from the IMBd:
Released the same year as "The Sound of Music", you won't see any nuns or singing children trotting through this film! The action is on a far seedier level. Ms. Turner plays a bored, despondent socialite who passes her long afternoons in the Acapulco sun with local gigolos while her husband (a former gigolo) turns the other cheek. Things get ugly when one of Turner's playthings washes up onshore---dead. (On his wrist is a bracelet engraved with "Love is thin ice.") The police investicate whether it was suicide or murder. His former girlfriend (Stephanie Powers) comes to claim his body and attracts the attention of Turner's husband. Meanwhile, O'Brian (yet another aging gigolo!) is bedding rich vacationer Ruth Roman (Hugh's pick-up line: "Haven't I seen you around?" , Ruth: "Could be, I've been there"). and trying to get Turner's attention as well. It all culminates in an overheated, eventually hilarious climax involving a bull! The chief assets of the film are Lana's clothes (the Edith Head concoctions cost a then-staggering---even now-staggering $1,000,000!) and the ultra-macho, hairy-chested, leathery-tanned, sexually insatiable, skimpy swimsuit-wearing O'Brian! Lana's outfits will please any fan of glitzy, over-the-top, drag-queeny get-ups (The swimsuits with matching cover ups alone could make Ru-Paul drool). Hugh is a revelation. He trots around in teensy, clingy trunks, sporting a lean, hirsute figure and displays much virility in the form of surfing and beach fitness. My favorite quote: Hugh O'Brian, stands in front of a mirror in shorts patting his flat abs and says "How long, oh Lord, how long..." Recommended for fans of lurid, tasteless, over-the-top Hollywood camp drama. Once seen, Ol' Wyatt Earp can never be thought of the same way again. HOT!
The film wins camp bonus points for having a seperate featurette "LANA TURNER'S MILLION DOLLAR WARDROBE" just on the CLOTHES for this film!
"Christ, Bette Davis?!?!"
