LOS ANGELES, Calif., Nov. 22, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With Thanksgiving on the near horizon, FilmSnobbery decided to serve up another type of turkey: in this case, the cinematic variety, with a seasonal celebration of the worst films of all time. And in a survey of approximately 100 filmmakers, critics, historians and performers, the choice for the worst film of all time went to Tommy Wiseau\u2019s utterly astonishing 2003 production \u201cThe Room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Tommy
\n\u201cIn the history of motion pictures, there is nothing like Tommy Wiseau\u2019s anti-classic,\u201d declared Phil Hall, managing editor at FilmSnobbery.com and author of the books \u201cThe Greatest Bad Movies of All Time\u201d and \u201cIn Search in Lost Films.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the visceral ineptitude of the acting to the utter incoherence of the screenplay to a lethal assault of bizarre imagery to Wiseau\u2019s brilliantly ridiculous on-screen persona, \u2018The Room\u2019 takes the cake and the whole bakery, too! It doesn\u2019t get better \u2013 or badder \u2013 than this!\u201d<\/p>\n
