The Room

Sorry, Troll 2. The current holder of the “best worst movie” title is Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, a shockingly inept, unabashedly self-indulgent piece of cinema that found new life as the heir to Rocky Horror Picture Show’s midnight movie throne, complete with fanatics who come to act out scenes and shout out its wooden dialogue. The deeply misogynistic, deliriously stupid film—which stars Wiseau as a man constantly cuckolded by his impossible-to-please fiancée—has been pitched, post-mortem, as a “black comedy,” giving Wiseau far too much credit. But make no mistake: The Room is genuinely crappy—and gloriously so.
