It is THE cult film. It's the cult film that defined cult films.

I've always hated this movie. *ducks, dons asbestos suit*

Seriously, I really can't see what people see in it.

Well, actually it wasn't the movie, but the stage show that debuted...

But still, its the start of legacy.

They used to show it at midnight at a theatre a block or two away from where I live now. Its one of those older ( like 1930-40's) single screen theatres that you could find in most downtowns. Finally sometime in the 90's they fell on hard times and it became an Indian theatre. Then the owner got busted for violating fire codes and it became an Afghani theatre. They went under after 9-11 and now local group wants to preserve it.

Hasnt the Rocky thing kind of died out now? Or is it still popular with people of HS and College age?

I think everyone involved with the making of that movie had to be high.

I was expecting a Sergent Pepper joke or something, but that was 20 years ago. Oh, well...One of these days, I'm gonna go to a midnight showing of that movie, just to have fun and let loose...

The movie sucks balls if you see it on video or something. It's a hell of a lot better if you go see it in theatre, with the live actors, and the audience commentary. Good times. Good times.

Well yeha, the movie itself sucks like a rotten lemon. Go see it with a good crowd, makes all the difference in the world.

...mmm...nah. If I had to spend money, I'd spend it on something I like rather than something I hate.
