I say this a lot. But this time a mean it. This: The Rocky Horror Picture Show is my favorite movie of all time. To start, I can’t imagine how many times I’ve actually seen this movie. Maybe around 20 or 25? The reason for this is… well… there are so many reasons. First off, the music is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Every time I watch this, I can easily sing along to every word and tune being played. Also, the timeless quality to this is amazing. This movie feels brand new, with its hilarity and campiness. Also, the fact that it has been playing in theaters for 35 years now- I’ve gotten the chance to see 2 midnight showings, and they were… AMAZING!! So don’t dream it…. SEE IT!
The acting isn’t by any means great, but that’s what adds to the fun- calling Janet a slut and Brad an asshole. Asking the criminologist, “where’s your neck?” And Tim Curry… well… he really gave himself over to absolute pleasure.
Love all of it.
The sexual themes in this are… well… intense..
It’s a science fiction double feature (well, not really) what do you expect?
