The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Single Disc Edition [DVD] [1975]

the first time i saw the rocky horror picture show i thought it was a load of rubbish. then i watched when i'd had two litres of cider and it made complete sense to me. it's getting more chuckleworthy as i'm aging.my dad liked it aswell, lol bless him. it's never too late to do the the timewarp is it eh fathah?! (mackem speak for father). my dad had really good legs so you can imagine him jumping to the left and stepping to the right etc around my living room at 79 years of age. it must have been very liberating for him.let's do the timewarp agaaaain!

Reliving my youth. Brilliant movie and my kids enjoyed it.

I've loved it for decades, unfortunately I think I've come to the end of my love affair. 😔💔

What happems when a regular guy and a regular girl are faced with a new set of values and forced to examine their inner desires, and abandon their superficial social propriety? Well in a classy spoof this film gives the tongue in cheek answer.Richard O'Brien stars as Riff Raff, both a horror movie butler, and a futuristic cross dresser, and provides the screenplay with Jim Sharman.Tim Curry gives the ultimate screen performance of the decadent male clad in a female basque, suspenders, and incredible high heels which was prevalent in 1930's German cabaret, when reputedly Berlin and Hamburg were the alternative cross gender centres of Europe. His first song says it all - I'm a sweet Transvestite from Transexual Transilvania. As Dr Frank 'N' Furter, he creates Rocky Horror, a blonde haired perfect male specimen,(Peter Hinwood) in small golden shorts who is attacked through jealousy by Riff, seduced by Janet, and tries to save himself and Frank at the end, by scaling a replica of the RKO Radio Picture Mast.A bogus narrator, and Criminologist played by Charles Grey is an excellent foil to activities inside the castle on a stormy evening. He also indicates the dance steps for 'The Time Warp ' song. The sound on this edition is excellent, as is the picture quality.Unforgettable Susan Sarandon with an oscar winning performance plays Janet Weiss, the naive regular girl forced out her shell, with the comically erotic 'Tata tata Touch Me' song.Little Nell as Columbia, executes some fancy tap dances in a costume similar to 42nd Street, the iconic Busby Berkley movie. Eddie characterised by Meatloaf is her lover, hacked to death by Frank in the walk in Freezer, after his song 'Hot Patootie'.Barry Bostwick contibutes to this cult icon with his part as Brad Majors, who only called to use the telephone with Janet his fiance.With the take on of so many, and more, film references, it is a great testament to the directing skills of Michael White and the excellent cast that an awesome coherent 96 minutes of entertainment was achieved.

If you had just made a film, and half of your preview audience walk out, you would be forgiven for thinking that you were in a spot of trouble. You certainly wouldn't be thinking that you had a cult classic on your hands that would still be going strong all these years later.The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a film you either love or hate. And, if (like me) you are firmly in the "love" camp then it has never looked as good as it does on blu-ray. Both my partner and myself have seen it more times than we care to remember on TV, VHS and DVD, and upon viewing this version spent most of the film pointing out all the details we could now see that were missing before. It sounds great too, and is definitely a worthwhile upgrade for owners of older copies.So why only 4 stars?Well, I opted to purchase the more expensive Digibook version, and to be honest I think I would recommend other people plump for the normal packaging at less than half the cost. The book itself is almost entirely pictorial and not really worth the extra.

This is my second favourite film, only narrowly missing out to Labyrinth starring David Bowie that I've loved since I saw it age 5. I only saw Rocky Horror around a year ago, don't know why I'd never watched it before. Now I'm totally in love with it. I love Tim Curry.

Having owned this film on VHS, then on DVD and now on Bluray, I believe I have enough knowledge of the film to write a Science Fiction review.Its a dark and stormy evening, Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) and Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) are making their way towards Dr. Scott (Jonathan Adams) a man who taught them both science. When they get a puncture, being in the middle of nowhere, Janet and Brad decide to go to a house they saw a while back down the road, Dammit Janet! (The Frankenstein Place) Upon arriving they are greeted by Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) and Magenta (Patricia Quinn), the two house servants. They lead them to the party, because after all it was just a jump to the left and then a step to the riiiiight.Where they are greeted by the Annual Transvestite convention and the man *cough* woman of the house, Frank-en-Furter another Sweet Transvestite.What follows is one of the greatest sing a long movies of all time.You'll be Spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation.There is an alternate beginning and a brilliant sing along feature on the Blu-ray.The quality is astounding and you would never think it was 37 years old.Between the charisma rich cast and the brilliant songs, you have a fond cult classic.A highly recommended film.

I've seen the Rocky Horror Show live and the Picture Show and enjoyed them both, so bought this to watch again and again.

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. By getting on DVD it brought back a lot of great memories. The delivery was fantastic. Thanks Peter

Bra kvalitet på varan. Inga problem med skivan.Om du inte sett denna film så gör det! Om du gillar musikaler så är detta en film för dig eller en bra början. Min första dvd blev stulen, så den var bra nog att sno.

Expédition aussi rapidement que possible

Uno dei miei film preferiti...colonna sonora eccezionale, eccentrico ed unico nel suo genere. Da non perdere anche per le nuove generazioni

Un classique du genre.
