Journal 4 - Uncle John's Flavorite Movie




Journal 4 - Uncle John’s Flavorite Movie


My favorite movie would have to be The Room.  It’s a movie that tried to be serious, but in the end was considered the worst high budget film in history.  They used phrases like black comedy, or drama to make it seem more engaging to some kind of audience, but it seemed more like a bunch of random scenes made into independent film.  The time line doesn’t match up, the story doesn’t coincide with itself, and the characters are just not relatable. This whole film just seems like a film made to show the viewers what not to do in film, and purposely bad to have a comedic effect.




            This is what makes the movie so good.  The mediocrity, and horrible story line make the movie so bad that it’s good to me.  I’ve never seen a film executed so horrible, and with a big budget of two million dollars behind it.  This movie hit every piece of film gold for me, and I’ve been to multiple viewings of this film in Boston, Chicago, and Milwaukee.  The director and the actor who plays Mark in the film even come out to see everyone.  This movie has a great following and great actors and a director that actually loves his fans.  This film has a huge cult following and for good reason too, it’s a must see movie just because of how horrible it is.

  1. I watched the clip and it seems pretty funny. I agree with your point that some really bad movies turn out to be good all because of how they are bad. I had not heard of this movie before now, but I may have to watch it just to see how bad it really is, which should be worth at least a few laughs along the way.
