Clinging to Douvres rocks
During my run this morning, I managed to roll my ankle on a rock and while this event has absolutely no direct correlation to this thread, the incident had served as the catalyst to conjure up a recollection of another wonderful movie. The rock was immediately dispatched into nearby pool of water.
At the moment of contact with water the “The Monolith Monsters” came to mind.
Released in 1957, the Monolith Monsters adopts the concept of the classic rogue meteorite that slams into earth. In this case the meteorite, composed mostly of iron, is somehow transformed, upon contact with water, into towering monoliths of obsidian. Humans too are transformed into stone if they contact the monolith.
This is a gem.

WHAT WAS THIS AMAZING POWER THAT COULD TURN PEOPLE INTO STONE?
I think it's called reality TV.

It's funny how the innocent awfulness of that movie makes it far better than the trash that comes out today.

I just posted some photos in the "Pictures Taken by You" thread, one of which included a Praying Mantis. This caused me to recall another great flick from the 1950's. The movie I refer to is the "Deadly Mantis".
Here is a youtube trailer video. Note the sound that the Mantis makes. Sounds a bit like Godzilla.

It sounds like you're asking for those movies that are so awesomly bad, they go on to become cult classics. Some of my favorites are Santa Clause Visits the Martians, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Glen and Glenda (well pretty much anything by Ed Wood) and a slew of movies from the 50's such as Them! (about giant ants attacking New Mexico).
But if you're just asking about movies that are plain crap with no quality or charm, 2 of the worst movies I've ever seen are Stranger Than Fiction and The Untouchables

Stargazer,
I have to be honest, I actually do enjoy the 1950's classics. My parents and older siblings would watch these at every opportunity.
In terms of "plain crap", your suggestions are duly noted and may I suggest another?
How about "Bog"?
It's so bad, I am having difficulty finding a video clip, so here is a piece from Bad Movie Report:
