The Rocky Horror Picture Show
As Frank-N-Furter, the pansexual mad scientist from the planet Transexual, Tim Curry channels the better parts of Mae West and Mick Jagger with a side helping of Bela Lugosi. Curry passed away last week so you can bet all the clubs in clubland will be putting The Time Warp on blast in tribute. Although virtually ignored in its initial rollout, Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien’s movie version of their wacky horror musical stage show has since become the longest running theatrical release in movie history through endless audience-participation midnight screenings. This knowing spoofery of 40s and 50s sci fi/horror movies was actually shot at Bray Studios, home of the Hammer Films it lovingly lampoons.
