1. Quality

2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   The perfect cult classic. A musical about a mad scientist who also happens to be a transvestite, and an alien from ‘Transexual Transylvannia’. Did I mention his name is Dr. Frank N. Furter AND he’s played by Tim Curry? I don’t think you can get much better than that? Ah, it can! Meatloaf (the singer) makes an appearance.

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   Is there anything sexier than Tim Curry, in drag, singing in that voice of his? Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick play the unfortunate couple who stumbles upon Dr. Frank N. Furter’s castle and do a wonderous job of it. Supporting cast are an essential part of this movie also, and they do not disappoint.

8. Male Costars Perfect 5.0
