[LazyLion]

Anyboody else enjoy this movie as much as me?

Yes, Yes - I know it's mostly fictional, and is probably also just inspiration pron, but what the hell, I'm loving it.

Listening to the soundtrack in my car now as well...

Yep, but don't let that stop you from watching the movie. Think of this movie as a fictitious broadway musical.
They also downplayed the role of the circus animals a lot -which we know is not historically accurate.
But the movie is still something to behold.

Watched both (+ The Room) & I still prefer Showman. Having said that DA really captured the essence of Tommy Wiseau, it's really well told.
