The Room by Tommy Wiseau

Bloodgnome is worse. I've conducted studies. The math checks out.

This movie does look absolutely terrible

It might be worse, I'm terrible at math so I'll take your word for it. But the room is just a work of art in badness.
The locations which looked like they were put together by cheap glue
The awkward transitions between scenes and the grown men acting like children
THAT football throwing bit and the dialogue that feels like it was translated from an alien language
The sex scenes where Tommy desperately searches for a vagina around her... bellybutton ? What he was aiming for is just a mystery
And the ending which takes itself as seriously as possible, somehow making a suicide hilarious.

Oh, I've seen The Room. It's definitely not a good movie, I agree with your points. But I've also had movie nights to compare the two when someone didn't believe me and I've never had someone that didn't ask me to give them back the hour and 27 that Bloodgnome took from them.
If you do watch it, I also suggest the DVD commentary if you can get it. The movie is retroactively funnier with more context.

Damn, you've really studied this. I looked if up and it sounds like a goldmine. Maybe I'll give it a watch if I lose the will to live.
Also, how long is a while after all ?

I’m shocked this is a US movie I expected it to be Canadian.. no wonder it sucked.
2
Pretty much any super low budget horror movie but that was the first one I thought of.
2
Is it your favourite though? Or just a bad movie…
2
And the cultural appropriation too.

I haven’t actually seen the movie but I was curious when I saw the title so I looked it up

Just joking about the beaver movie not being Canadian, lol.

I’ll start us off:
Daylight
When a Stranger calls (1979)
Jaws 3-D

Best bad movie to force other people to watch: Bloodgnome
A movie that's not bad, but "bad", that I genuinely suggest: Bubbhotep

Commando - Schwarzenegger, Alyssa Milano (very young), David Patrick Kelly (of "Warriors, come out and pla-ay" fame), and introducing Rae Dawn Chong (before she learned how to speak, not read, her dialogue). It's like a boiled down version of every 1980's action pic. Nearly every line Schwarzenegger and Kelly speak are bad one liners and there's a 10-minute climax where Schwarzenegger singlehandedly kills so many guys, I lost count at 109. I like it so bad, I got the DVD.

Do they drive thru a mall in a car that is missing a door at some point?

Not exactly. Matrix (Schwarzenegger) chases Sully (Kelly) through the Sherman Oaks Galleria ("This used to be a great place for hunting slash" says Sully). He follows him to the underground parking lot and when Sully gets into a yellow 911, he commandeers Rae Dawn Chong's Fiat Spyder, tears off the door and rips out the drivers seat and, yes, chases and keeps up with a Porsche 911 in a Fiat. All the way up to Mulholland, where one of the most iconic scenes in an 1980's action film takes place. You have to watch it to enjoy the magical self healing Porsche and one of the greatest callback one liners in movies.

I saw this movie at a random midnight screening a few years ago with some friends. I remember the movie being super cheesy but it was a fun night.

Rubber. For some reason I love this movie.
