The Rocky Horror Picture Show

CAST:  Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Richard O'Brien, Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell, Jonathan Adams, Peter Hinwood, Charles Gray, Meat Loaf

GENRE:  musical, comedy, horror


This low budget cult classic is thought of as having the longest theatrical run of any film in history.  It's more campy than scary, but with themes of transvestitism, bi and homosexuality, it makes our list!

STORY:  Newlyweds, Brad and Janet, find themselves with a flat tire out in the middle of nowhere.  In seeking help, they stumble across a castle where the Annual Transylvania Convention is being held, led by Frank-N-Further, a bisexual transvestite.

     Frank seduces both Brad and Janet separately and sucks them into his perverse world where he claims to have discovered the "secret to life itself," his creation, Rocky Horror.  The yuppies soon find their meanings of pleasure challenged.
