jordanbrandsma Very good movie, but old and a bit sexually sexual with much sexy. But it is good movie, so I give it 5/7!!!
johnny-burgundy The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) This is a musical science fiction comedy horror film. The screenplay was based on the 1973 musical stage production. It is a satirical tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the 1930s through the early 1970s. The film stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick. The tale centers on a young engaged couple whose car breaks down in the rain near a castle where they seek a telephone to call for help. Although largely critically panned on initial release, it remains a cultural phenomenon in both the U.S. and U.K. The movie maintains a limited release four decades after its premiere. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the longest-running theatrical release in motion picture history. In 2005, It was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress. FOX would air a modern-day reimagining of the film, that premiered on Fox in October 2016. Although this was a decent homage, nothing can compare to the original. Even if you've never experienced it, it's almost impossible not to recognize the music, when you hear it.

mike48128 A couple of things I don't like about both versions is the annoying narrator and how short "Eddie" Meat Loaf) has in the movie. His solo is a "showstopper". Eddie is one of Dr. Frank-N-Furter's failures and is hacked to pieces by Frank after singing and crashing his "cycle" throughout the house. Why there are several cyclists is never explained. Tim Curry is the Transsexual Thing from Outer Space. (That's the reference to RKO Radio Pictures). "Rocky" is an amazing physical specimen and indeed does resemble Charles Atlas. Has several memorable songs including the opener with the famous red lips. (Science Fiction),Time-warp, Dammit Janet, and the "a toucha me" song stand out. Susan Sarandon is delicious as undressed Janet Weiss with her white Maidenform underwear. She goes from virgin to sex fiend in about a minute. Wow. Teasing skin and some male & female genitalia on white statues. (Big deal?) Yeah, skimpy and tight costumes. Gets a tat creepier in the middle, as the difficult subject(s) of straight, gay and incestual sexual encounters gets explored. It should be watched uncut, as the cable telecast censors a few shots and words. Silly and nice ending as Frankie, Columbia, and Rocky get zapped and the spaceship-castle returns to it's home planet of Transylvania. It's implied that Frank and Columbia might make it back home also. (Watch UK version.) Only Brad, Janet, and Dr. Von Scott remain on Earth. Yes, it is much more fun with repeated viewings. Quite risqué for it's time. Watch it with the "Midnight Theater Soundtrack" on disc. Made on an incredibly small budget, but very well filmed. It's a UK movie and plays much like a filmed Broadway Musical, for the most part! 5:1 sound and the mono tracks are quite good. Picture quality is amazing.
