Media Type: DVD Product Description
This is without a doubt one of the best movies ever. The whole thing is so outlandish that's it great. Tim Curry steals the movie with his over the top transvestite portrayal. The music is great and so entertaining. Can watch over and over again.
April 10, 2008There has never been another musical or movie like the Rocky Horror Picture show, not even the semi-sequel -- SHOCK TREATMENT -- comes close. The first time you watch this movie you think it's the oddest, dumbest thing you've ever seen. However, with each subsequent viewing, the brillance of it becomes apparent. Campy, Sci-Fi send up? Absolutely. Social commentary? You bet. Pure fun? Without a doubt. I must confess that I have seen this film over 100 times and used to "play" the character of Rocky in front of the screen on Friday and Saturday nights back in the early 80s, but that only deepened my admiration for one of the most creative films ever made. I can't wait to introduce my teenage nieces and nephews to this cult classic.

Telling the story of two all-American kids who are about to get married and their night of terror "over at the Frankenstein Place". In her first major feature film, Susan Sarandon proves she is a talented comedienne playing Janet, while Tim Curry dazzles as "sweet transvestite" Doctor Frank N. Furter, a role which he originated on Broadway. While being a worldwide flop on release, it soon started showing in cinemas and art houses at midnight, attracting a huge cult following. It is an excellent satire of old B-movies and is highly entertaining. It contains a brilliant variety of songs, including the most famous: 'The Time Warp', 'Sweet Tranvestite' and 'Science Fiction, Double Feature'. While maybe not appealing to the most conservative of movie-goers, this is pure smut, kinkiness, campness, fun and provides lots of laughs. It will have you humming those songs for weeks, and maybe even have you buying a pair of suspenders and stiletto heels and running off to your local cinema to lap up all the Transylvanian atmosphere. Watch at all costs!
February 18, 2008| | | I can't tell if this is more funny or scary, Tim Curry as a transexual cross-dresser!!! | |
For me to rate this movie anyone and everyone who reads this needs to keep in mind that I hate, HATE, musicals (I would rather have my teeth drilled with an old rusty spoon, than watch movies like Greese, Oklahoma or A Sound of Music!), but this movie was so funny and so downright WEIRD! It is so odd and funny, so goofy and weird, and if you like Susan Sarandon like I do, seeing her in her undies is great, and seeing Tim Curry (who is a great actor!!) dressed as a weird, vampire alien monster murderer woman--ish thing is so darn funny, watching this movie for that alone is worth it!!! I would compare this to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with Johnny Depp and it is worth seeing at least once just for the humor and weirdness!
January 23, 2008This movie is Horrible!!! Boring!!! Ridiculous!!!! Dont waste your time. And to all the LOVERS of this piece of garbage, Dont be a hater just let me have my opinion.
