Rocky Horror On DVD 
2006-12-23
If you wish to view this classic Cult Film in the privacy of your own home then this is the only version you should have.
Not only is this DVD loaded with features, BUT in it's original unedited form and newly mastered sound, but it also looks great!
Deleted and unused scenes, 2 trailers for the film, 15 minute tour with the creator of the show and film, and 2 sing-a-long Kareoke videos.
This is the definitive version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Own it today!!!
The world's WORST movie.....period. 
2006-11-24
What an absolute utter piece of garbage. There's a reason why this motion picture...and I use that term loosely in this case...failed miserably when first released. Because it's God-awful and stupid. It was only after many years of playing as a 'midnight movie' that it finally made any money. Even then, the show was frequented by high school drop-outs, hippie wanna-be types and other losers who had nothing better to do than try to act like the idiot characters on the screen. Jeez....not even 'I Spit On Your Grave' or 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' were this bad.
With a sincere apology to Tim Curry, who is an otherwise fine actor, but here, he is just one VERY ugly alien transvestite singing silly songs. And his name...Frank-N-Furter? Ooooh...how original. I wonder how many functioning, non-drug addicted brain cells it took to think that up??
If this film is your idea of a great movie, well, all I can say is that you have my sympathies......
aaaaaaaaaaaa I likey:-)))))))))) 2006-09-28
This is the perfect celebration of B- and horror-movies of the 30s and 40s...
I first heard about it while staying at Gran Canaria, Spain and lots of dragqueens took a "How do joooooooooo doooooooooAAAAAAAAAAA" a`la Tim Curry hehehe.........
The cast and crew are first rate and though the excitement halts into the middle the movie, it has a big finish:-)))
Damn, this is good! 2005-08-20
Another one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. After being a box-office flop when it was first released it slowly became a cult classic, and for obvious reasons. Tim Curry's performance as Dr. Frankenfurter may be the greatest performance in the history of motion pictures, rivaled only by Bela Lugosi's "Dracula" and Marlon Brando's "Godfather." This is excellence taken to the limit and beyond. The songs are great. Curry's impersonation of Judy Garland at the end is awesome. I'm not gay; hell, I'm not even a liberal, but I respect greatness and I'll acknowledge it when I see it, especially when it's such transcendental greatness as is exhibited here.
This Movie Sucks!!! And It Is Not A "Cult Classsic!!!" 2005-06-29
When this waste of celluloid was first made it could not even find a distributor willing to show this piece of junk. For you younger people reading this celluloid is the stuff they used to make movies with. Enough of my History Lesson. This movie proves the Old Adage that movies, just like ageing prostitutes,drunks, politicians and buildings all become respectable with age.This movie is only reedemed by the presence of Tim Curry who I hope got paid a lot of money to star in this turkey of a movie.
The Power of Good Living 2008-07-07
It's fantastic to revisit a movie decades later and still find delightful. It reaffirms one's faith in the power of good living...
ANYWAY, this is my favorite of three musicals. It is an ode to rock-and-roll. It is a passionate muezzin-call of joie-de-vivre rising to the very heavens and it is NOT some watered-down yuppie b.s., and/or pretentious imitation of a redubbed remake...
**Susan Sarandon's** name will forever be pronounced with respect & tenderest adoration because of her performance herein. **Tim Curry** became the Patron Saint of the Trans-DamnNearAnything because of his work herein. Tim O'Brien, Barry Bostwick and even Meatloaf never had to worry about getting a real job after this bronzed titan among cult flix let its freak-flag fly... If you ever even thought that you like 'indie' films, this was a turning point and is an uber-touchstone.
Let there be Lips 2008-06-06
A biazarre film and a work of genius. It pokes fun at virtually everything including old science fiction movies; horror movies; transvestites: homosexuals; incest; professional spokesmen; sexual innocence; UFO's; cannibalism and even Nazi Germany.
Franknfurter, or whatever his name is, has the qualities of a transvestite, bisexual Count Dracula and Dr. Frankenstein. He's also an "evil" person who seduces both Brad an Janet. He's also quite a scientist and has produced the perfect man--"I've made me a man with blond hair and...a tan to ease my tension." This has elements of Nazi racial theory. "It's a triumph of your Vill!!! an excited Magenta emotes [Triumph of the Will by Leni Raftenstein on the up-and-coming Adolf Hitler]. Unfortunately, this blond superman is used for Frank's carnal purposes, another slap at Nazi theory.
Anyway, it's all a lot of fun right up until the very end when the persecuted and Igor-like Riff Raff, dressed like a rather extreme Flash Gordon character, and Magenta, with white streaked hair reminiscent of the "Bride of Frankenstein", show up to blast Frank and his one-time girl friend Columbia, with absolutely ridiculous ray guns.
It's all unbelievably stupid which makes it a near perfect comedy.
Now I have a question for all those who read my review. A couple of years ago I saw a rather bad movie called "Return to the Valley of the Dolls" produced, I think, a year or two before "Rocky". It has many for the features of "Rocky" and I wonder if "Rocky" ripped off "Return" or vice versa. Does anybody have the answer?

Wonderfully hilarious movie! 2008-05-11
I will be totally honest, I'm 26 years old and I didn't watch this movie until I was 23, because I was skeptical and I didn't think I would like it. Boy was I wrong!! From the first musical number til the very end, I had a grin plastered on my face. This is a different sort of tale, but very exciting and I absolutely LOVE musicals so it's right up my alley. Tim Curry is incredible as Frankenfurter, Susan Sarandon SINGS in this movie, using her real voice! And Barry Bostwick is hilarious as Brad Majors.
Awesome 2008-03-03
You definitely would have to love strange movie plots to enjoy this movie. I happened to fall into the "cult" if you will, of this movie in my late teens, and enjoy to this day in my mid-forties.
It's just a jump to the left 2007-09-18
I ask you, how can a person NOT like this film???? Undeniably one of the best midnight b-movies that has ever come out. I mean there are other cult films like Eraserhead, Wizards, Cannibal Holocaust, and so forth,...but the Rocky Horror Picture Show is the absolute KING (or Queen) of midnight cult classics. This is not just a film.....it is a right of passage. You follow characters who have their own quirks and just trying to make it through a situation. I'm not going to try and explain the film.....it's something you just have to watch, preferably with a group of friends who have seen it many times.
