My cousin in Cleveland got me to rewatch The Room by saying it's a comedy made by accident
I always took that movie way too seriously as a drama until she pointed out that Tommy Wiseau wrote, directed, starred in, and funded the whole thing himself for $6 million, and now I can't stop laughing at stuff I used to find sad, so what's a movie you had to be tricked into enjoying the right way?

The $6 million detail is a bit off, just so you know. The commonly thrown around number is $6 million but Wiseau himself has said it was closer to $5 million, and some folks who worked on it think it was way less, like a million or two. Nobody really knows because he kept the money stuff secret and paid for everything out of pocket. The mystery is kind of part of the fun though. Point is you don't need the exact price tag to laugh at the weird football tosses and that rooftop scene.
