A Lou Adler/Michael White Production directed
by Jim Sharman, this cinematic classic follows
sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) as they
are stuck with a flat tire during a storm and discover the eerie
mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a sweet transvestite
scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a
houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf)
and a creepy butler (Richard O'Brien). Through elaborate dances and
rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular
man named "Rocky."
Since
its 1975 release, The
Rocky Horror Picture Show
quickly made its mark as the most-beloved cult film of all time.
Today, this iconic cult classic film is the longest running
theatrical release of all-time and currently plays at weekly midnight
showings in over 300 theaters across the U.S. and even more around
the world. Moreover, the film’s cultural exposure and acclaim has
extended far beyond the theatrical release, as the original “Rocky
Horror” stage show continues to delight audiences worldwide.

MY THOUGHTS
I have to admit that before a few days ago I had never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yes I am 38 years old and I had never seen this movie. I knew about it ofcourse but I just never saw it.
Last Friday I watched this 40th anniversary on Blu-ray. I thought it was entertaining and silly but really I don't get the big hubbub about it and I don't really think I will ever watch it again. I feel disappointed since everyone I know keep raving about this movie but I didn't find it as great as everyone keeps telling me . At least now I can say I have watched the movie.
I am giving this 3 out of 5
