Yeah, I'm a Rocky Horror Picture Show fan.  Susan Sarandon aged rather well didn't she.  I actually played Riff Raff in a local theatre group adaption/depiction when I was about 45, although I had to wear a special wig because I had a full head of hair (still have - it runs in the family).  Certainly brings back some rather good memories.

Even in todays age, it is an exceptional movie...

Cheers for that Leon... I'm going to find and dust off the old VHS and watch it on the weekend.

..... let's do the time warp again!....

it's just a jump to the left ....... dah dah dahdah da

and then a step to the right.....

with your hands on your hips .......   

lol - loveee it!  Saw the stage show three times over the years and the movie like three or four times ....starting in the 60's ........ always been fantastic!  Thank you....     :-) 

always worth a look,    the special thet put on tv last week wasnt so good,    REG LIVERMORE was wonderful,    i love him . 

I have never seen this show but remember when it came out.    I have never been into these shows so I am thinking I would not enjoy it.

I have seen this show live six times,not to mention the reruns on television, I guess this makes me a self confessed Rocky horror show addict.. They don't make shows like this anymore and the oldies are simply the best.

Tim curry will always be the character of Frank'n'furter...no matter how he looks in real life..the image sticks...as does Peter Hinwood.

I think of all these endearing characters as family..and if you could see my family, you would see why...Lol

I just had a quick look at the show here

defiantly NOT my cupa at all

You have to experience the show live to appreciate the adrenalin rush of "jumping to the left" in the aisles and having Frank 'n' Furter sitting on the arm of your seat....it comes alive and leaves great memories....!

I recall this moving running for many years at one of the big cinema's on George street in Sydney. It was a regular friday night event (starting at 11.00pm as I recall) Many of the audience dressed in costumes from the movie, in a scene where a "toast" was made  - the audience tossed bread into the air....in the rain scenes, water pistols were squirted into the air. The atmosphere was fantastic - I saw the move dozens of times and still love it today.
