Crowned by Entertainment Weekly as the "Citizen Kane of Bad Movies", The Room has been slaying audiences now for seven years throughout the US and UK, with rabid fans called Roomies screaming out lines and throwing props at the screen. The film is a $7m vanity project created by a cheerful narcissist named Tommy Wiseau, who's like a muscle-bound, European version of Gene Simmons. No matter what you've already heard, nothing can prepare you for the once-in-a-lifetime big-screen experience of seeing actor/director/producer Wiseau mumbling his way through this excruciating love triangle about a kind-hearted banker, his best friend and his cheating bride-to-be. It has many unforgettable scenes, but keep your eyes peeled for pictures of spoons, close football tossing, characters vanishing and emerging and even one that announces "I definitely have breast cancer" as a throwaway conversation starter. Unmissable.-AT
