I think anyone who saw ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW only on a small screen on VHS or DVD or on VH1 can't say they dislike it with any certainty.
Although it wasn't produced to be viewed and acted out in midnight screenings with toast and squirt bottles and newspaper and toilet paper and rice and meat loaf and people dressed in costume, that's really the *only* way to see it.
That's the way I first saw it, back in the late '70s, with some friends who knew what props to bring because they were two years older than I was. And it was SO much fun to be a teenager, out that late with friends on a weekend, seeing that movie and participating in it like I was an Anglican taking communion on Palm Sunday.
I now own the DVD and have watched it occasionally, but the only reason it's worth watching that way is because I can remember seeing it the *right* way.
Oh, and Tim Curry is awesome. And so is the music. Catchy whether you like to admit it or not.
This was #20 on my list.
