The Disaster Artist (2017)

Just like the mirthful viewers who still years after its release fill theatres for midnight screenings of Tommy Wiseau's The Room, director, producer and lead actor James Franco and his co-stars (his brother Dave and an enormous number of celebrities appearing in cameo) gather in this adaptation of Greg Sestero's making-of account to rejoice in The Room's utter awfulness and to revel in Wiseau's ineptitude as a filmmaker and actor.

The Room (2003)

Staggering in its artlessness, mystifyingly plotted, and abominably acted, Tommy Wiseau's The Room, often cited as the worst movie ever made, tells an apparently autobiographical story of a love triangle and features go-nowhere subplots, inconsistent character psychology, and actors who clearly are not even having a good time, and so it is no wonder it has gone on to become the cult classic it has, a riotous midnight screening to jeer and holler at.
