61. The Room (1999 or 2003???...typical)- Tommy Wiseau

The Room Trailer

Depending on who you ask, "The Room" is either the greatest film ever made, or the worst excuse for a "movie" ever in the history of film. It is written, produced, edited, and written by Tommy Wiseau who has the strangest accent that I have ever heard in my life. It can only be described as if Nicholas Cage (with black Tarzan hair) attempted to do an eastern European accent while slightly choking on water, while pretending to be a pretentious, sex obsessed psycho. Anyway, I feel like anything I say about this movie won't be doing it justice- besides the fact that it is incredibly hilarious and should only be watched in a large group of people. There are eight minute long sex scenes to obscure/horrible R&B songs, pictures of spoons everywhere, stock footage of San Francisco and other random cities,  actor changes mid film, breast cancer, lies, adultery, a cute red dress, Lisa and Danny or Dinny?... or is it Denny? Either way, all I have to say is that this film deservingly had a $6 million budget because Wiseau didn't know the difference in film and digital, so he shot the movie in both, which is clearly the logical explanation. Now, if you have seen this film (which everyone should because its simply that good) you might be wondering where in the world Mr. Wiseau got the funding from? No need to worry there, he reportedly imported leather jackets from Korea- that just sounds so legal, right?
