Samurai Cop tops this in terms of bad movies in my opinion.

But when it comes to bad actors, no one tops Wiseau or his story.

A lot of the "best worst movies" that people mention are just really boring, imo. I don't really give a shit about watching something like that. I'm glad to see people mentioning movies like Miami Connection and Hard Ticket to Hawaii; gloriously awful and endlessly entertaining. Troll 2 (1990) is also a worthy entry.

For those of you who enjoy bad movies, I recommend joining the torrent tracker Cinemageddon.

This.

The Room is kinda fascinating. I saw a midnight show out here a few years ago that Wiseau hosted. It was fun because of all the fan interaction, but boy. It was difficult to sit through at times. I don't know the running time off hand, but it felt so long.

What's amazing is how something like this can basically never happen again. The chances that a total lunatic with 6 million dollars to blow wanting to make and star in a movie while having zero talent and infinite confidence... It's hard to be believe it happened once.

You ever hear of Neil Breen?

How about James Nguyen? He's the guy who did Birdemic: Shock and Terror

And also a guy named John De Hart who did an awesomely bad action movie with the legendary Wings Hauser called Road to Revenge (1993)

It happened in this movie too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_for_an_Insomniac

Tiffany DeBartolo - Eddie's Daughter wrote and directed this awful vanity pic, although she didn't star in it. Daddy's money got Jennifer Anniston and Ione Skye. But the dialog is so cringingly terrible.

The first 1/4 of the movie or so is black and white - until Ione Skye's love interest walks into the coffee shop where she works - then it turns to glorious color. Ughhhh

I've never seen so many lines of dialogue looped into a scene as the flower shop one. Combined with the cashier looking right at him and saying "Oh it's you Johnny, I didn't recognize you"...

LMAO

There is a sub-forum for this kind of thing it is called the media center.

Who pissed on your lawn, guy?

Honest mistake. Haven't ever looked in that sub-forum.

Birdemic is great at being bad, but it was made on a shoestring. China has a LOTR rip-off that a friend of mine got paid to work on that is close to the Room...but it cost around $130 million(!!!):

I'll throw in an honorable mention to 'Monsturd'. It's about a large turd that kills people.

If interested, I'll direct you to it. ---> https://youtu.be/O26CWmjERkM

Why do you think it can't happen again? It seems like it could easily happen again. There are lots of untalented people out there with $6 million.

Word travels fast when you see a monstrous shit stepping on people's throats.

I've never seen it. All I've seen is the Nostalgia Critic review of it and that's good enough. Skip to 2:27 for the review.
