Best Worst Movie.... Birdemic or The Room

The Room

The people behind Birdemic knew what they were doing. TW just thinks he knows what he's doing

The Room for sure. The people involved with Birdemic knew it was terrible, but Tommy Wiseau thought his film was a cinematic masterpiece that can stand alongside Citzen Kane. It's really as if Wisseau really is an extraterrestrial and has no idea how human emotions and motives actually work.

This movie shows you basically everything from every level of filmmaking on what not to do. The film is so gloriously incompetent that it really did turn into a completely unintentional masterpiece, and I say without shame that this is one of my favorite films. This should be required viewing for film students.

Intent was not one of my variables

but if it's the only distinguishing factor, then so be it.

Maybe not, but I can't seriously consider any movie that is trying its best to be as schlocky as possible to be the best worst movie. I won't even watch any of the Asylum movies because of that.

Troll 2 is a better comparison imo since those people actually thought they were trying to make a good movie. I think the directors even got pissed and wouldn't do any interviews in the documentary because no one takes Troll 2 seriously.

No clue, I doubt it, but the documentary about Troll 2 talks about how the director and writer, which was a foreign husband/wife team, were brought on and it had nothing to do with Troll

ETA - Apparently, the original stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Sonny Bono

to answer the original question: The Room.

its really easy to make a bad cgi movie. look at the syfy channel. to make an entertaining, horrible drama is actually very hard. usually you dont entertain people during a bad drama. they get bored and stop watching.

wiseau stumbled into something great by pure accident.

I met the guy who made Birdemic and I guarantee you he didn't know he was making a terrible movie.
