When you get beyond the cult following, latex, and screaming profanities at the screen and just look at the Rocky Horror Picture Show you see a sentimental journey into old B-movies. How fitting that this one should be its king (or queen).The opening song is a trip down memory lane of old sci-fi flicks and their stars leading up to present day. What's striking about RHPS is how it is a representation of the 1970's. Who came first? Frank N. Furter or Ziggy Stardust? Total '70's excess.
But the best way to watch this film is at the theater with a group of people. RHPS is the 1950's B-movie set to 1970's sensibilities and continues to live on beyond the eras it represents.
