Good Bad Movies

Just wrapped up watching the film, "Best Worst Movie" the documentary about the film, "Troll 2" Now I have to be honest, I don't know if I'll see the film, but based on the doc, it might be a fun watch.

Clearly the film is bad, but what I love at the core of the documentary is the passion of those who made the film. They believed in what they were doing and in the doc that comes through. They don't hide from the fact that "Troll 2" is a bad film... I believe they call it "the worst film ever made" but they all are connected to it and still have fond memories of it.


When I see all of these types of docs I wonder if one day someone will look at my films and say some of the things being said in these films. I guess if they look and see that we DID care about everything we shot and that it wasn't just a throw away then I guess that would be OK.


"Best Worst Movie" is a good film. The extra were really jammed packed and I loved that. And at the core of low budget filmmaking is of course the desire to make movies, not for money but for passion so in that sense, "Best Worst Movie" is a huge success.
