general
mint of bad movie get free in any given class ( Madame Webis just the latest case ) , as well as some that are genuinely peachy likeOppenheimer . What ’s much rarer , though , is the kind of picture that is so sorry it ’s good . These are movies that are so unequal to at everything they are trying to do that they circle all the agency around to become cult objects that people love in spite of their many flaws .
These titles are abominable , and is n’t that grand ? Without much in the way of production value , competent acting , an interesting handwriting , or proficient focussing , these movies stumbled forward and finally hit theaters , and now , we get to walk you through each and every one of them .
Universal
The Room (2003)
Perhaps the most famous so - defective - it’s - good pic ever made , The Roomhas become an object of furor fascination in the two decades since it first hit dramaturgy . Tommy Wiseau ’s odd vision is so disjointed and poorly acted that the best way to follow it is to discount whatever is supposed to be happen entirely .
Instead , just relish every line that feels like a total non sequitur and permit Wiseau do whatever it is he feel is necessary in any given scene . The existent plot ofThe Room , to the extent that one is evident , may be a small offensive , but we ’ll never get tired of Tommy climbing up onto the ceiling and saying , “ I did not hit her , I did not . Oh hi , Mark . ”
Mac and Me (1988)
A pretty misleading Riffian onE.T.,Mac and Memay be well - make out today because Paul Rudd loves to play a clip from it whenever he appears on a talk show with Conan O’Brien . That snip is genuinely horrendous , and the rest of the movie is n’t much well . Although child actors are not eff for being perfect , the kid actors here are specially terrible , as are the effect .
It ’s telling thatE.T.came out six age beforeMac and Meand has much well effects . Of naturally , that movie wasdirected by Steven Spielberg , so it ’s also much better shoot and design thanMac and Mecould ever dream of being .
Fateful Findings (2013)
adjudge one of the “ worst films ever made ” right away after its going , Fateful Findingsis theater director and star Neil Breen ’s magnum opus . The film follows a mystical hacker who habituate his top executive to hack into government database .
The moving-picture show ’s stilted execution , poor plotting , and cheap product economic value are often cited as rationality for its generally unfit report , but those affair are also the understanding some people are fascinated with it . Much likeThe Room , no one is taking this movie as in earnest as Neil Breen is , and that ’s exactly the point in time .
Cats (2019)
The most recent entry on this list , Tom Hooper ’s 2019 adjustment ofCatsis as bizarre as musical version get . From the eldritch CG fur skins that all of the actor were give to the overhaul the film ’s plot takes as it ’s adapted from a gambol to live on - action , everything aboutCatsis unmatched and alienating .
fortuitously , the flick is so genuinely unknown that it has already become an object of furore fascination . After all , it ’s not every day that you may see a humanoid computed axial tomography that resemble Rebel Wilson unzip herself from a cat skin only to reveal more fur underneath . It may be nightmare fuel for some , but for others , it ’s just what the MD ordered .
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)
The original cult movie , Ed Wood’sPlan 9 from Outer Spacehas had a devoted following for decades , so much so that Tim Burton made an entire motion picture about the trial and travail of its group B - movie director , ed Wood . tell the story of aliens who endanger to raise an army of the undead to prevent world from creating a weapon system that could demolish the entire macrocosm , Plan 9is cheaply made and features a lot of sincerely weird performances .
The movie ’s many shortcomings are the understanding it ’s so dear though , and a reminder that Wood may not have been a raw film producer , but his passion for his projects somehow overcame his evident deficiency of skill .
Troll 2 (1990)
A sequel to the 1986 filmTrollthat has exactly zero things to do with that movie , Troll 2follows a family as they are terrorized by goblins ( emphatically not Trolls ) who want to turn them into plants so the hobgoblin can wipe out them . So far , so run - of - the - grind , but what earnsTroll 2a spot on this listing is how really terrible it is on a moment - to - moment basis .
There ’s not a respectable operation or filmmaking decision to be found here , which is why it ’s been an object of fascination for so many for so long . It ’s defective , and in its mischievousness , many hoi polloi have found plenty of joyousness .
The Happening (2008)
M. Night Shyamalan ’s filmographyranges from full - blown masterpiece to unmitigated disasters , andThe Happeningis just the right stratum of bad to make this leaning . The movie surveil a scientist who observe that the people around him are killing themselves en masse shot .
have a truly abominable Mark Wahlberg performance and a totally nonsense assumption , The Happeninghas its moments of genuine terror , but they ’re shadow by the absurdity of what happen in the movie , and how puzzle Wahlberg ’s character seems to be by the whole affair .
