Official Rocky Horror Picture Show Web Site!!!
Official Rocky Horror Picture Show Web Site!!!Besides the flic this was also a play in London Which the Wizard had the oppotunity to catch while visiting,unfortunately without original cast but still a fantastic theatrical experience.It seems that the original play soundtrck recording tends to move at a quicker pace than the movie,Most likely do to being live and with less visual effects of film.
Rocky Horror Picture Show, The (1975)

Amazon.com: Technical Information: Zachariah I belive this was billed as the first R&R WESTERN,okay for nostalgic purposes not as good as YOUNG GUNS
Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) -the not so heavy site
Eddie and the Cruisers (1983)Another of my favorite movies dealing with the story abou a band,sounded like Bruce Springsteen at first later found out it was John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band,don;t you love worthless knowledge. Wizard gives this a high(I was) recommendation.
Streets of Fire (1984)
Streets of Fire (1984) highly recommended fable of R&R,some excellent music wound into a great tale of the hometown band who goes big and comes home for a gig, I love this one.
American Hot Wax (1978)
American Hot Wax (1978) a great movie about the roots of the people who started r&r shows.somewhat accurate with the usual add in story to round out the script,there is a made for tv movie with Judd Nelson in The Alan Freed Story .not too bad either,just different I pick Hot Wax better of the two how 'bout you?
