The Room

Wiseau's infamous melodrama

A 2003 film written, directed, produced by, and starring Tommy Wiseau, widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made.

Its bizarre dialogue, inexplicable plot choices, and stilted performances have made it a cult classic, celebrated at midnight screenings where audiences throw plastic spoons and shout callbacks: Have you seen The Room? It's so bad it's good.
