THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry; directed by Jim Sharman)

Review: “As for the movie itself, it’s no better than it ever was. Viewed on video simply as a movie, without the midnight sideshow, it’s cheerful and silly, and kind of sweet, and forgettable.” —Roger Ebert

Trivia: The film is considered to be the longest-running release in film history. It has never been pulled by 20th Century Fox from its original 1975 release, and it continues to play in cinemas. —wikipedia

Quote: “Give yourself over to absolute pleasure.”
