November 17, 2009Wild and wacky, Tim Curry in an epic performance in a movie/play that focuses on pushing the boundaries of sexuality. Good soundtrack but the picture is perhaps a little too bombastic for my tastes.

September 21, 2009One of my favourite 'Midnight Movies', The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a camp classic and one of the best musicals of all time. This is Richard O'Brien's masterpiece and a cult classic!

July 22, 2009Straight laced couple Brad and Janet fall into the clutches of a "sweet transvestite from Transylvania" in this musical/comedy/B-movie spoof. Audience participation aside, the movie itself is a real mixed bag: brash, colorful ideas and sets, a great performance by Tim Curry, mos...( read more)

May 22, 20091 funny bizzare fuckin trip man. Its different and i couldnt look away because of that. I didnt think it was classic or anything but i could see why people would consider this classic. I guess its just not for me but if your in the mood for something random, I recommend it. Its F...( read more)

November 10, 2008This movie is insane. It's bizarre, random, it changes gears in the last act and features some odd songs throughout. And I LOVE the movie for it.
The movie begins in black and white and becomes colorized at about the time infamous song Time Warp starts up. To me, this is a great...( read more) -

November 16, 2009I actually found this to be surprisingly fun and harmless. It has a lot of bizarre elements, crazy lighting and skewed frames. For someone who's not a big fan of musicals, I really didn't seem to mind the musical numbers in this at all. It has a whole 50's sci-fi vibe to it that ...( read more)

November 15, 2009I couldn't take it seriously enough to lose myself in this at all. Just weird. I guess this rates as too culty for me

February 18, 2009I think this is the sort of movie you either love or hate. I LOVE it. My favourite characters are probably Magenta and Riff Raff (whith their very... interesting relationship :)). The music is great and the movie is funny and compltely freaky. Tim Curry as Frank-N-Furter is simplt AMAZING.
One more thing... Does anybody else think that Mr. Filch from the Harry Potter movies looks a tiny bit like Riff Raff? -

August 1, 2008Pretty harsh, MorpheusOne. Maybe you should give this masterpiece another chance. I don't know anyone who has seen it and not fell in love (a few in lust). I think in the right atmosphere you might like it better. Get some of your friends together, put on some fishnets and party hats and get up and Time Warp with the your fellow Transylvanians. I think you will see the light shining off of those luscious lips and think, "What have I been missing? Thank you jarvismiranda for talking me into reconsidering my views of this delicious film."

July 23, 2008I love this movie! I went to many midnight showings as a teenager and threw food and other things like the rest. "Let's do the time warp again". Love this movie!
Take care all,
William
Zzzzzzzooooommmmmm!

July 21, 2008morpheusone, you have the single worst tas in movies ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 star! -
May 14, 2008I would have given it "0" stars if I could have! This is DEFINITELY one of the worst movies, one of the most OVERATED movies, EVER, in the history of western civilization!
If you like soap opera's and musicals then this piece of garbage is for you. Don't come near me or have anything to do with my gene pool. You should cut off and/or out your sexual organs and don't you dare pollute this world with your seed!
Only fags and freak chicks could enjoy this piece of garbage!! -
April 28, 2008The first time i saw this movie i was 5 years old, you have to love this movie, it is by far one of the best movies ever made. I can't wait to dress up and go to the midnight show this Halloween!!!!
