The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
This musical sci-fi satire is about an alien transvestite named Frank-n-Furter from the planet Transexual in the galaxy of Transylvania, who is building the perfect man while playing sexual games with his virginal visitors.

Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon play Brad and Janet, a very-much-in-love couple. On a dark stormy night, they enter a castle owned by Dr Frankenfurter (Tim Curry) and his companions: creepy handyman Riff Raff (Richard O'Brian), sultry maid Magenta (Patricia Quinn), rock & roll groupie Columbia (Nell Campbell) and rock star Meatloaf as the Doctor's motorcycling zombie Eddie (a rebel who ends up getting served for dinner).

Though a resounding flop on its release, this Jim Sharman film, with its wild plot, addictive songs and raunchiness, has become one of the cult films of all time.
