Tagged as the best worst movie ever, The Room now has its own cult following and some of its more rabid fans are Hollywood's comedy elite - Paul Rudd, David Cross, Jonah Hill and Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright, they all have been spotted at screenings and expressed their fascination with the film.
The Room was written, directed and stars Tommy Wiseau and he also acted as the film's producer and executive producer, as well. The film is shown once a month in a Los Angeles movie theater and lines to get into the midnight screenings wrap around the entire lobby. The film had a disappointing initial run but it is now enjoying a massive cult following, just like Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Big Lebowski and Plan 9 from Outer Space.
If you dare to watch the movie in full and you're nowhere near L.A., don't fret, it is available in DVD.
