This may be heresy, but I've always felt the music for this film was far superior to the film itself. I think the experience of the film is better than the film itself. Truth be told, the film is rather boringly directed, clumsily staged, and if it wasn't for the soundtrack, it would have been forgotten about. Luckily, Richard O'Brien's soundtrack is awesome, tuneful, and never gets tiring on the ear. It's justifably a cult item, and while I've listened to the soundtrack more times than I can remember, I've only seen the film once (on VHS). Even the lesser known songs are still great (like Over at the Frankenstein's Place and Eddie). The classics are awesome, with kudos going to Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul and some tune called The Time Warp.
I still would like to see the film in a theater, mainly for the Rocky Horror experience and to sing along with songs I really dig, not because it's a great film. Get the soundtrack, and once in a while, crossdress and see the film in a theater.
