The Rocky Horror Picture
Show is a 1975
musical comedy film that parodies horror films, based on the British musical
stage production The Rocky Horror Show, with the screenplay written by
Richard O'Brien and Jim Sharman. The film features Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and
Barry Bostwick.
The film is considered a cult
classic and a midnight movie — although it is widely known by mainstream
audiences. It has a large national and international following. While the film's
popularity is high, critics point to the lack of plot and cartoonish style as
well as the overly sexual nature of the film as some of its major drawbacks.
Regardless, the movie has gone on to become one of the most well known and
financially successful midnight movies of all time.
It is the longest running theatrical release in film history.
More than 30 years later it is still in limited release in theaters
around the world. In December 2005, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington
added The Rocky Horror Picture Show to the National Film Registry, a list
that contains only 450 films.

The Rocky
Pledge
I, State
Your Name, Pledge allegiance
to the lips Of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And to the decadence for
which it stands, One movie, under Richard O'Brien, With Sensuous
Daydreams, Erotic Nightmares, and Sins of the Flesh for All! And I promise
to be creative and not repeat anything anyone else says.
