7. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) The ultimate audience participation movie. Richard O’Brien’s cult musical tribute to Hollywood’s horror B-movies is rocket powered by Tim Curry’s performance as the crazed Dr Frank N Furter. Hosting a convention of alien deviants at his Ohio castle, the transvestite doctor unveils his latest creation, a love machine called Rocky Horror. Great rock’n’roll, great characters, great musical.
I adore this movie! When I was in the 4th grade I had a sleepover for my birthday and we went to the movie store to pick out a scary movie. Of course I had never seen it, but we mistook it for a scary movie, and it was just so silly.
At that age, all the sexual content kind of went over our heads, which is another thing that happens with children, that over protective parents don’t seem to understand. I think a lot of times, mom and dad, or just mom, or just dad don’t have the capacity and patience to sit down with their child and discuss things. The first instinct for a child when they see something questionable, is to ask what it is, because chances are, they won’t have a clue. I think what should be preached currently is education and communication within the home, then maybe our politicians wouldn’t feel compelled to sensor everything. Maybe then there would be no need.
Anyway, I’ve loved the show ever since!!!
