Summary: Excellent except for the audience participation
Review: This is a great DVD with great extras! If you like the RHPS, you need this disc. HOWEVER, if you are looking forward to the audience participation section, it's a waste of time. The recording is of a whole room of fans screaming at the screen at the appropriate moments. This is to be expected, but you can't understand a word they're saying because they are all yelling different things at different times. This would have been a great time for an extra subtitle feature or a booklet to prompt the viewer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Come Up To The Lab...
Review: The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of the best musicals ever!! The songs are catchy and the acting is spectacular. Tim Curry is hilarious and a bit creepy as Dr. Frank N Furter, and Susan Sarandon is perfect as the not so virgile Janet Weiss. This movie has captivated me ever since I watched it on Halloween as a kid. So why dont you come up to the lab and see whats on the slab, with this wonderful movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bless my soul....
Review: Fun in it's day but I can only stick about an hour of this now before my brain atrophies. The last quarter seems to hint at something deeper and is melancholic, even depressive.
Richard O'Brien, a talented and charismatic man, does some classy busking in the special features and then sits down to do some risible character analysis on his creations, a sign that the whole cult thing has got out of hand. Barry Bostwick claims that he was already jaded before joining the cast. Well, thank you kindly, Bazza, for taking the time and trouble to fly over from the big apple to show us backward Brits how to walk on the wild side. We is so grateful, Massa. Hope our little country ways didn't bore you too much. He then goes on to more or less tell 'Rocky' fans to get a life. His pomposity is worthy of Brad himself. Patricia Quinn is not what you expect, either. One of those loud, pretentious lovey types that appear to be teetering on the brink of desperation. Maybe she's always like that. Curry appears only on stage at the anniversary bash and looks distinctly uncomfortable at his rock star celebrity. Meat Loaf is unexpectedly funny but his motorbike stunt double story is not as scintilating as he clearly believes it is. Susan Sarandon looks amazing crawling through the smoke at the end of the film. Her interview also runs on too long but she comes across as a game lady.

WARNING: The extra features were glitchy, especially on alleged state of the art PC. Richard O'Brien's commentary wouldn't play at all.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A great re-issue of an old favorite!
Review: I'm not a dress-up fan, but I do like this playful movie. The DVD edition is well worth the investment, with lots of very fun extras, including interviews, old footage, and even a commentary version featuring dress-up "cast" members acting out key moments in the movie just like they do in movie theatres around the nation every weekend.

The movie itself is a horror spoof, featuring a "straight" couple who get stranded in a mansion full of lunatics and who eventually get drawn into the very bizarre things happening there. It's a romp with lots of fun songs and constant neato surprises. It isn't scary in the slightest, though it definitely isn't appropriate for the underage crowd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
Review: my most favorite movie of all time the music is great and so is the chasimatic performance of Tim Curry as Dr. Franknfurter. A must see for everybody

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Camp as the proverbial row of tents
Review: Daaahlings, what can you say about this High Camp classic that hasn't already been said? On the heels of Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, the divine Tim Curry hammered the final nail into the well-nailed coffin of Establishment gender stereotyping. As you can tell from the audience reactions, the androgynous Doctor Frank persona is as liberating for females as it is for males.

A strong collection of songs from maestro Richard O'Brien drives this Gothic masterpiece, concerning the misadventures of (Damn it) Janet Weiss, played by the ravishing Susan Sarandon and her RoboNerd boyfriend Brad Majors, played by Barry Bostwick.

There are just so many classic scenes and one liners that I can only respectfully suggest that you just go right ahead and buy this puppy. While the film lures you in with a feast of archetypal significance, you are probably better advised to check your brain at the door and relax with a chill bottle of parafino.

It can be easy you know... having a good time...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cult classic that deserves its status
Review: As any fan will tell you, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the best movie ever! You can't go wrong with dancing transvestites, people turning to stone, and catchy songs like the time warp. Absolutly astounding!
