Along with The AV Club's best movies, music, TV shows, and favourite film scenes of the 00's is this list of the best bad movies. And at number one the honour goes to The Room, a "black comedy" with "the passion of Tennesse Williams." I have no idea how this movie got made or why; the trailer alone is awesome.
The movie has become something of a cult film along the lines of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and has frequent "midnight movie" screenings, with audiences dressing up as characters. The director Tommy Wiseau often attends and even holds Q & A sessions. The trivia on the IMDB page is pretty hilarious, too. Wiseau shot in both 35mm and hi-def because he didn't know the difference between the two, and two actors quit the film due to "creative differences."
omg...i can't stop laughing...best trailer ever!!
they played 'the room' a few months ago @ the royale. we gotta catch the next screening.
