- morganvachon 5y agoI've never seen The Room so my opinion may change if I ever do, but there is another movie that I have seen (though only by proxy of MST3K) called Manos: The Hands of Fate that also has been referred to as the worst movie ever made, and I wholeheartedly agree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manos:_The_Hands_of_Fate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manos:_The_Hands_of_Fate
- dmix 5y agoNot sure why I chose to watch that but I have to agree, that's comparable to The Room (if not as funny on it's own like The Room is, absent the jokes added by the MST3K hosts this one would be getting fast-forwarded constantly). Things that are "bad" like that are uniquely bad. It's not just annoying or purposefully bad, it's a side effect of a series of poor judgements that make it amusing. The most revealing part was in a Youtube comment that explained the master's helper guy (who takes up a ton of screen time) was clearly on acid the whole time, which makes his totally unusual behaviours understandable for anyone who has tried that before. But still very very socially awkward and creepy.
- scubbo 5y agoThose 2, and "Plan 9 from Outer Space", are the 3 I generally hear "lauded" as the worst.
- poetaster 5y agoProbably suicidal to say so, but I thought I made the most awful films. https://poetaster.de/vendetta https://poetaster.de/vendetta
- mPReDiToR 5y agoI thought Battlefield Earth held that title? If you're masochistic, download it from somewhere. If you're sadistic, have people watch it with you. I'm not engaging in hyperbole when I call it ridiculously bad.
- mmaunder 5y agoGoing to test my pain threshold with that this evening. Thanks.
