One of my favorite movies is the cult classic, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Rocky Horror Picture Show dealt with topics that where still taboo in 1975 but still brought entertainment. This was a low budget film with many actors (Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Meatloaf) who would end up being big names. The music coupled with the signature Time Warp Dance and costumes drew the audience into another would. The costumes and music in my opinion is what set the film apart from other musicals. In time audiences dressed as characters in the film thus leading to a true cult classic. I remember going to the theatre n Saturday night with a group of friends where we where all dressed as a character. I remember the first time I sat my son down and attempted to watch this movie with him at age 15. The Time Warp Dance was playing, he states "Mom you are warping me with this crazy movie, it makes no sense and its about a bunch of transvestites." All I could do was laugh and tell him he may appreciate it when he gets older with a reply of "I doubt that will ever happen." He really lost it when I showed him I knew every step of the Time Warp Dance. It is truly a film of time in my opinion.
