Summary: It's just a jump to your left...
Review: Okay. So people say this is one of those movies you have to see at least three times to like it, but its worth it. My case is different. You might like it the first time around...hell, I sure did, and I would categorize it among one of my favorite movies ever. But one word of advice to all you Rocky Horror virgins out there. Don't bother seeing it without someone who knows the movie and the voice cues. For people seeing it for the first time, it will lighten the load and give the movie a totally new spin. This is definitely the queen movie of all time, and I totally recomend it to everyone (even if you cringe to see a guy in drag, you'll have fun with this movie!) As for whether you'll like it or not, I shiver with antici...pation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie ever made.
Review: This is not a first-time-you-see-it-fall-in-love-with-it movie. This takes about 3 tries.. but WORTH the wait. The first time, you're kind of like, "what the hell was that?" The second time it dawns on you, and the third time's a charm, you'll become hooked! Richard O'Brien has a real talent, You'll be hooked on the songs for sure, It's impossible to get Hot Patootie out of your head, and equally as difficult to rid yourself of "Sweet Transvestite" Not to mention, who can possibly resist Tim Curry, what an amazing performance! This is a real "sensual daydream to treasure forever" BUY IT! :D

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am so glad the antici....pation is over
Review: Words can't describe how fabulous this DVD is. The movie itself of course is wonderful, but there are so many extra features. From the audience participation to the theatrical trailers, it is a Rocky Horror fan dream come true.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'ROCKY HORROR' DVD Orgasmic!
Review: After 25 years of fish-net stockings, sweet transvestites, doing the Time Warp (again, and again, and again...), and TOAST!, Rocky Horror seems to be destined to become as American as apple pie... Being devoured by those infamous red lusty lips of course!

Rocky Horror on DVD is fantastic! Extra features such as the audience participation, VH1 Special excerpts, interviews, and footage of Rocky Horror performed live, including extra DVD-ROM features make even more racious fun for the most unconventional of conventionalists! The only problem I found was with the audience participation track which sometimes was a little hard to hear with all the screaming and shouting of lines.

Still, the Rocky Horror Experience is NOT COMPLETE until you have seen it done live, which the DVD has tried to recreate with a fair amount of extra features and Frank-N-Furterish fun! Give in to ABSOLUTE PLEASURE, and check out Rocky Horror on DVD!

Summary: Expect The Unexpected
Review: when you first see this movie you think that some sicko wrote it. but after you see it a couple times it grows on you and you see the some the weird stuff is actually really funny such as, janet asking frank n furter what has he done with brad he says "nothing why do you think i should?" and there are lots of other cool stuff too. plus the songs are addictive and you can't get them out of your head. i think everyone should see this movie all star cast, cool songs overall the greatest musical movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Cult Classic of all time
Review: Rocky horror became one of my favorite movies in 1995 when i have heard about it from a friend and i decided to rent it. i was expecting a horror movie(espically by the video box) and instead i got a wonderfully bizzar good time that had me singing the time warp untill i went to bed that night. it was just something about this movie that really clicked with me and it really became my favorite movie untill scream came along then it was tied. Anyway incase people dont know by now this movie has been playing for over 25 years in theaters ever friday and saturday night at midnight and has become a nation wide cult phenomena. It has comedy, horror, sex, music, sci fi and rock and roll. what else could you ask for in one night?

These Two "clean cut kids" Brad And Janet have just been engaged to be married and decided to go up to there science professors house to share the news. then in a rain storm they have a blow out. They arrive at this castle and as soon as they arrive zany mayham enters their lives forver. they intrude on a convention of some sort and witness alot of strange people doing the time warp and driving insaaaneee. then they meet a transvestite from another planet who is creating a muscle man for his own pleasures. you are introduced into dr. frank n furters own little sexual bizzar world while everyone including brad and janet break into song. then dr. scott( their college professor) arrives and they are thrown into a bazzar plan by frank to be sent back to transexual transylvania while wearing garta belts and lingere. ...i know this sounds like a cheesy movie..well....it is!! but its alot of fun and VERY popular. see it in the theater to get the full experience. rice, water guns, tolet paper, toast and a **** load of funny adlibs from the aduience a truly fun movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better in theatres
Review: If you have never seen RHPS in a theatre with a live cast I suggest you do so. The movie gets a little boring and bad if you watch it without the audience participation lines and/or no cast. The music is great, the acting is a little less than great and the directing is not so perfect but it is a fun time for any aged over 18. This is a must see for anyone who feels "out of the loop" of society. Check local listings for a cast near you!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great time...
Review: Well, I can't say too much about this DVD set. The packaging is outstanding, and the extras are great. But, the biggest stand-out of the entire set is the movie itself. Come on, it's The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I bought this set simply from word-of-mouth from other fans. I had never seen the movie. What I saw the first time I watched it was amazing. It is unbelievable, and I love it! I recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't Dream It, Buy It !!!
Review: This movie is one of the most oddest and one of the most best movies that I have ever seen. What gets me the most about this movie is that immediately after watching it I couldn't get the songs out of my head. After watching this you will be humming or singing these songs for days after.

The songs are amazing, Richard O'Brien is a pure genius to have come up with the lyrics for them, and they are still fresh after 25 years even. The sets are something to be seen and the story is very smart and the lines are delivered with enthusiasm. Still on the topic of songs, when I first saw this movie I thought that the singing voices were not those of the actors, but I was amazed to learn that it was the actors real voices that I was hearing. All the characters are ones that people can relate to. For instance I related to Riff-Raff the often put-dowm servant to Dr. Frank 'n' furter. This movie is one not to be missed and is a true gem for anyone who appreciates a good musical.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible!!!
Review: As any insane Rocky Horror fanatic can tell you, no matter how many videos of RHPS you own (I happen to have 2 myself), this DVD is a MUST!! The set is beautifully put together, filled with gorgeous full-color artwork and put together quite creatively. To be totally honest, I loved this set before I even go to my DVD player. When I did, I was in heaven. The picture quality is amazing, so good that I was able to see things that I had never been able to see on my videos. To get and idea what I mean, I always thought that Brad's tuxedo jacket was lined with black material, but on the DVD I could clearly see that it is maroon! Then I got to the sound. The new stereo mix is breathtaking when listened to through a powerful home theater system, but perhaps the best treat is the restoration of the original mono soundtrack that has been MIA for so long (since 1990). It was wonderful being able to hear every single sound effect that had been missing from the older stereo mixes. Also included are an interesting commentary by Pat Quinn and Richard O'Brien, a hilarious audience participation track..., and a very fun "theatrical experience" which cuts in footage from actual screenings. I was totally in love with this DVD before I had even gotten to the second disc. This disc is jammed full of fun extras. It includes the movie version of "Once In A While" as an outtake. Also there are excepts from interviews with many of the stars of the film, the VH1 specials about RHPS, and a documentary that until now was only available on the laserdisc. The movie itself is one of my all time favorites. The performances are incredible, my favorite being Tim Curry as the irresistible Dr. Frank N. Furter. He just oozes sexuality into the role and commands every bit of your attention. Richard O'Brien is delightfully creepy as Riff Raff, Frank's unpredictable servant. Pat Quinn is very seductive in the part of Magenta, Riff's sister/lover. Nell Campbell is perfectly sparkly and squeaky in the role of supergroupie Columbia. Barry Bostwick is one of my favorite Brad's... Peter Hinwood is just fun to look at as Rocky, considering that there isn't very much more to his role. Susan Sarandon is probably the least talented member of the cast which really says something about the cast when you consider that she is an Academy Award winner. Her acting as straightlaced Janet is perfect, the only downside is her voice,...Meat Loaf makes an electrifying cameo as greaser Eddie, who shows up a second time in quite an unexpected way. Jonathan Adams is a pretty good Dr. Scott. The plot is very unusual, but it is a lot of fun. The music is amazing, even though the arrangements aren't the best...This is just an awesome movie that never feels dated and is never boring no matter how many times you have seen it. I strongly believe that everyone should see it at least once, and for those like me who have seen far more times than that, this DVD is a must have.
