Experimental Bottom Shelf Scores · Non-Canon
These generated baseline scores use the same Greatness, Engagement and Ease concepts as GCML for laboratory comparison only. They do not create official GCML scores, ranks, Film IDs or canon membership.
FilmGreatnessEngagementEase40/40/20Rationale
The Room2.28.48.86.00
Terrible conventional filmmaking; extraordinary unintended entertainment value.
The Happening4.06.68.55.94
Competently mounted enough to rise above the cellar, with substantial accidental comedy.
Troll 21.88.08.75.66
Almost ideal “so bad it’s good” viewing; short, bizarre, endlessly quotable.
Plan 9 from Outer Space2.57.19.05.64
Historically important bad cinema; charming, brisk and painless.
Cats3.06.36.55.02
Considerable production resources plus an almost hypnotic level of wrongness.
Birdemic: Shock and Terror1.37.07.14.74
Monumental technical incompetence becomes the attraction.
Catwoman2.75.67.14.74
Slick enough to remain watchable despite major creative failures.
Glitter2.74.97.24.48
Relatively easy viewing, but not spectacularly bad enough to become especially compelling.
The Last Airbender2.64.26.84.08
Technical resources cannot overcome muddled storytelling and emotional flatness.
Battlefield Earth2.05.25.84.04
Spectacle and camp help, but the long runtime makes the ordeal heavier.
Gigli2.84.35.73.98
Some infamous scenes, but the movie around them is a slog.
Movie 431.94.76.63.96
Shock and celebrity curiosity create intermittent engagement.
Manos: The Hands of Fate1.04.75.53.38
Historically fascinating incompetence, but dramatically much harder going.
Disaster Movie1.23.56.73.22
Short and mechanically easy to follow, but offers very little reward for doing so.
