The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Director: Jim Sharman
Writers: Richard O’Brien, Jim Sharman
Stars: Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick
Summary: This notorious horror parody — a fast-paced potpourri of camp, sci-fi and rock ‘n’ roll, among other things — tracks the exploits of naïve couple Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) after they stumble upon the lair of transvestite Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry). The film — a bizarre musical co-starring Meat Loaf and Richard O’Brien — bombed in its initial release but later gained a cult following at midnight showings.
What can I say? I can’t not love this movie. It’s definitely not a movie for everyone but I love it. I’m just chicken to go to one of the live shows. Especially if they know it’s my first time going. Horror stories, I tell you. Anyway, this is definitely a cult film. I’m a huge fan of Tim Curry. The songs are very memorable and how can you not want to stand up and do the Time Warp?
