Tommy Wiseau’s film The Room (2003) is by many accounts the worst movie ever made. The plot barely makes sense, the set design is comically inept, and most of the dialogue sounds like it was fed through Google Translate multiple times. Yet, for 14 years, people have been congregating at midnight screenings all across the globe to watch what some people call “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.”
Despite the film’s incoherency, audiences ritualistically throw plastic spoons, shout call and response lines at the screen, and toss around footballs in the aisles at monthly screenings. Knowing all the inside jokes and participatory cues gives viewers what sociologist Pierre Bourdieu termed “cultural capital.” People who know when to shout specific lines or when to hurl spoons are deemed Room veterans.
Contrary to what you may think, researchers have found that an appreciation of this kind of “trash cinema” can actually indicate higher levels of intelligence. Trash films share more characteristics with avant-garde art films than they do with typical commercial Hollywood fare. Audiences are drawn to both “trash” and “art” films for many of the same reasons, like their transgressive nature and their rejection of mainstream aesthetic norms.
Watch the video to know more about The Room and be sure to pick up Bissell’s book (that he co-wrote with Greg Sestero) to read many more legendary stories about the production of the “best worst movie.”

What makes very bad movies good, IMO, is that they are unique in some way. The bad choices they make are different from what you normally see. What makes good movies bad, is that they are bland and derivative. They are like everything you've already seen, change nothing, and add nothing, and make you feel nothing.

That's a whole lot of words for "its just comically bad".

[@zyxwut321]

The magic of "The Room" is that it's so INNOCENTLY bad. Tommy Wiseau was completely sincere in his efforts to make a legitimate dramatic film. All of the other actors are performing to the best of the amateurish abilities. The production was completely honest in its misguided efforts to build and advance drama and tension. It was just so perfectly off in all of its horrible decision making, like the video said, like a non-human trying to understand humans. It's also so fragile for that same reason. As soon as there's an ounce of awareness, of camp, satire or any other intention the whole concept and value of the film instantly evaporates. Then it's just an ordinary bad movie. It's why Tommy Wiseau can't ever make another film and why his later casting of the film as a "dark comedy" fell flat. He's now forever a caricature of his own creation.

[@NovaPrima]

zyxwut321 The underwears guy was hamming it up a treat.

[@Fuchsia_tude]

He looked exactly the same in the making of on the DVD. I think that's his everyday stance.

[@ImperativeGames]

Tommy Wiseau is a transdimensional alien, who sincerely tried to help humans by creating art. If he could mimick humans better, it would be a great film!

[@onikin]

This is why Birdemic (1&2) are popular, but not to the same level as The Room.

[@AlirioAguero2]

That is exactly what makes The Room a cult classic it is, but I would digress that it doesn't apply to all ''so bad it's good'' movies. For example, ''Thankskilling'' is absolutely aware that it's bad, and it's still very enjoyable and good.

One of the reasons bad movies are enjoyable is that they're great to pick apart and analyze, and you can really learn a lot about good films from watching them. Your typical Hollywood film is so seamless and polished that everything washes over you. You suspend your disbelief and sort of forget that a movie is the sum of a million parts/decisions/actions. But a bad movie jolts you out of that. As soon as you see a boom mike or realize that the actor's shirt has changed from red to green in the middle of the scene, you're reminded that a film is something a lot of people came together to make, and that people made certain (terrible) decisions making it. You start to wonder WHY they made a certain choice. Like, why does Tommy Wiseau have actors throw around a football for no reason in the middle of a movie? You start wondering if a decision was made because of ineptitude, lack of funds, time constraints, because the director was out of his mind because of a cocaine binge (which happened during one movie I worked on), etc. Also, thinking about why a movie fails can make you look critically at ones that are good. What makes a movie good? What makes one enjoyable? What makes dialogue work? What sounds dumb? The badness of movies like the room gives you a different perspective on moviemaking, and in a way, is sort of an education in how to make a good movie.

I think intelligent people like shitty movies because they just like laughing condescendingly at bad art.

[@masterman1001]

Ya know, there's something special to entertaining oneself with abysmal pieces of art, so you do have a point. But I couldn't take up a condescending stance towards a film who actually managed to do what a (mainstream) flick's intention should always be: It entertained quite a lotta people. Now sure, there's also flicks that are meant to make you think, to educate you, or just simply to show you something unconventional. But even then, they still do entertain us, even if it's just a "side-effect". So yes, while The Room was undoubtedly a film with horrible acting, a terrible script, and a lead who has yet to prove to be an actual human, it certainly cannot be considered unsuccessful. (not financially speaking. Although I assume some money has been earned over time, so they might even be in the plus, someday)

Seeing The Room at a screening and meeting Tommy Wiseau was the best night I ever had sober.

[@antimaocrimo]

"To be fair, you need to have a high IQ to understand The Room..."

[@onee]

The best example of, "It's so bad that it's actually good."

[@papulrocks794]

People are interested in the 'best' & the 'worst'. Its the averages we don't care about ---Law of extremes

[@MrBeastknows]

GradeA's Kid Idk man people still like Suivide Squaf.

[@WlatPziupp]

The Room is nowhere near the worst. In any way. It has a semi-coherent story, it has decent lighting, okay camerawork, and the "actors" are some times seen moving their lips when they speak. The Room is bad enough to be good bad, and much better than bad bad movies.

[@conorm.5331]

Yep. The Room is actually somewhat coherent. Birdemic, or Superbabies, on the other hand...

[@TravisHouze]

Conor M. That's exactly the reason I like the film. It's not aware of how bad it is

[@SidV101]

Conor M. Birdemic doesn't count, it was intentionally bad like Sharknado

[@QuillWorks]

“You should see it alone, or with a loved one you can hold after for reassurance.” BRO 😂😂😂😂

[@greciabarraza4986]

The room is by far one of the best movies I’ve seem. It’s just magical, Neil Breen could never.

[@tyronelewis5110]

where can you watch it

[@KrypticStudiosCorp]

So basically... it's so bad that it's... good.

[@f.damian]

Yeah!

[@human_bing]

True

[@tehawes0mesauce]

No. I don't think so. It's just not good. It's hilariously not good, but it's not "so bad it's good." I would consider XXX so bad that it's good. Same as the Brosnan Bond movies. The Room is just.. the worst movie. It's just really, really, really not good.

[@monikasage792]

i was gonna be so confused if i didnt see a comment related to what you just stated ahahha

[@depressedkermit5337]

What surprises me is that rotten tomatoes actually gave it 32%. How did it get above 10 is beyond me.

[@bovacanti3334]

Kermit F because the name implies what you get. They are rotten at the 1 thing they are supposedly good at.

[@NobodyFIN]

Well rotten tomatoes is just a collection of multiple different reviews from different sources. So that 32% means that 32% of reviews of the room were positive.

[@Timliu92]

Because at least we can watch it multiple times and get entertained by it, unlike most bad films.

[@kumpel1531]

Kermit F Well it's entertaining so it deserves an even higher rating in my opinion. Even if it's unintentional.

[@laula813]

Kermit F Because people like it, because it's extraordinally bad.

[@will-cartoons]

This movie was made in 2003 but it seems like this was an AI generated film made in 2023.

[@supremeswaraj1763]

I completely forgot about Friday song. Thanks for reminding me. Now, I have to go back and listen to the whole song.

[@Abhothra]

Be sure to look up the latest version of it as well, no idea what's going on there but I keep coming back to it.

[@FakeNamexx]

he has another movie coming out

[@siddhantshelar]

"Or with a very close loved one that you can hold on afterwards for reassurance." Sounds about right.

[@aniruddhsingh4169]

There are lots of even worse movies but The room is popular because it is watchable.

[@JohnnyMonke]

"It's like a movie made by an alien" But Tommy Wiseau is indeed an alien, I mean, his face melts when it's in contact with oxygen.

[@Voltanaut]

The Room is not a "low budget" film. Tommy spent about $6M of his own money on that film.

[@gokusondbz]

HarryIsTheGamingGeek and he's definitely made his money back in DVD sales.

[@voltaire6062]

$6 million is low budget for a movie

[@The1337BBQ]

Compared to Hollywood's unrealistic "standard", yes. But it's still not low budget.

[@KT-cz7rm]

HarryIsTheGamingGeek yea because he bought cameras instead of renting, did full rewrites off the script and replaced the entire cast.

[@synsam12345]

It is low budget with 6 mil

[@makefilmhavefun]

Tommy: It's not that bad. You guys just get jealous with it. I know that.

[@bbrenddon]

Judging on what you've showed me from the movie i already like it

[@Xarfax321]

In my opinion, the Room is not the worst movie. Because it is still entertaining! I consider Birdemic to be worse, because that movie was not only incoherent, it was BOOOORING!

[@heavy_ang_patay]

Watch After Last Season. That movie is worse and had a budget of 5 million.

[@BigChiken44]

It's all subjective. I love both The Room and Birdemic - they are both super entertaining for me

[@lynjones9145]

Troll 2 anyone

[@rizkamirlina1248]

I'm still confused how Birdemic can be considered a movie... 😰

[@JudgeHolden2003]

All those movies (even Birdemic) Are Masterpieces compared to the "Amazing bulk"

[@epm1012]

Man, I don't remember Rebecca Black's Friday sounding so bad...

[@ProletariatPrince]

EPM 101 Oh it was that bad.

[@fwank4936]

Yeah I forgot how awful and nasal her voice is.

[@DanielAvelan]

Yeah, only now I'm noticing some very grating details, like the line "looking forward to the wee-e-e-e-ekend". This doesn't sound good at all. This is like a bipper from a co-worker you barely know trying to make it cool.

[@hefferdoodles9938]

I love how the advertisement in the subway shows reviews of how bad it is

[@MrMarcusIndia]

I like how one reviewer says "I didn't think it was possible to make a film so bad" yet *still* gave it 1.5 stars.

[@ZaxorVonSkyler]

Still better than the emoji movie!

[@ZaxorVonSkyler]

It even has better scores on rotten tomatoes and imbd!

[@twwnn]

[@ZaxorVonSkyler]

Beep Boop, another Miku fan! How are you Brudda?

[@marcorrales23]

Boo. The Room and The Emoji Movie are the best

[@constantine6490]

i like emoji movie, as an animated film for kids its pretty good...

[@aquietdarkness]

I think it is entertaining because it is consistently bad. from start to finish, the movie feels like all of the pauses, non verbal utterances and moments of silence in conversation have been cropped out.

[@alejandrarodriguez2508]

nya the lack of continuity is my fav. like the mom having cancer. then when they just repeated the entire "sexy" scene

[@tameem1745]

I love that one of the re-screening adverts sad 'the prince Charles of cinema'

[@zgb3l]

Me and my bf were watching this movie and he turned it off in the middle of the story and im still so mad about that

The Room is the definition of "So bad it's good"

[@williamgregory1848]

I don’t know how else to describe The Room other than a mix of Tennessee Williams, Ed Wood, and R. Kelly's ‘Trapped in the Closet.’

[@ThadiusMeyers]

I think I like these kind of bad movies because it's very reminiscent of your average school play. They somehow create a sense of community and you feel like these terrible terrible actors could be people you know. It kind of immerses you into this world but instead of some big name actor it's like your uncle walking out there and spouting some shitty lines. That's what makes these terrible movies beautiful.

[@LadyVoldemort]

Thadius Meyers I honestly never think of that, but reading your opinion made me. 😂 I'm going to think about my silly uncle or friend's awkward mom every time I watch shitty acting in movies and become more forgiving from now on, thanks. 😂

[@panterxbeats]

The Room is one of the most unique (and misogynist :/) films ever made, whether you consider it "the worst film ever made" or not. It happens to be my personal favourite, up there at least... it's like looking into the brain of what a man of another life and world (Tommy Wiseau) envisions the incredibly broken "American dream" to be, all in this immersive "school play"-esque community you perfectly describe.

[@panterxbeats]

Roshan, have you watched this scene, let alone the entire film? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYC6dICrrL-JjLM All of them women (and characters) in the film are written solely *for*, and of course *from* the perspective of the perfect Tommy Wiseau (or Johnny, as portrayed in the film) I was surprised a few searches give one results regarding it, and watching the film should answer it for you unless you're desensitised to negative and stereotypical portrayals of women across the media. Breast cancer is a brief joke in the room. The movie is a joke, and I can admire it for all of its unintended, broken absurdity. "David Lynch couldn't make something that weird on purpose." www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2012/04/26/tommy-wiseaus-the-room-an-unintentional-mra-classic/

[@braindrain1407]
