Cult Movie Classics

Considered one of the worst films ever made, but also one of the most beloved cult classics of all time, Tommy Wiseau's 2003 film "The Room" has spawned fan favorite quotes like "Oh hi, Mark" and "You're tearing me apart, Lisa!"

Troma Studios started producing raunchy comedies in 1974 and switched to campy horror and exploitation films following the success of 1985's "The Toxic Avenger." 

Mystery Science Theater 3000 follows a helpless janitor, Joel, trapped by two mad scientists who show him cult classics and B-movies in an attempt to drive him insane. Instead, he builds several robots to make jokes about the films and keep him company: Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, and Crow T. Robot. 

Probot is the name of Dave Grohl's heavy metal side-project.

Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky unsuccessfully tried to adapt Frank Herbert's 1965 novel "Dune" into a feature film in 1974. The film was set to star Salvador Dali and Orson Welles and feature music from Pink Floyd. Although the film was never produced, various crew members assembled by Jodorowsky would go on to make beloved sci-fi classics like "Alien" and "Total Recall."

A loophole in the UK film classification law that allowed home videos to bypass the review process gave rise to the "video nasties" in the early 1980s. Well known "video nasty" titles include Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead" and John Carpenter's "The Thing."
