PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE > THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
my history teacher: does anyone know anything about faust?

Rock & fucking roll!!!! This movie kicks ass. So outlandish and fun. Works just as well as camp as it does in earnest, frankly! Every song is a hit because Paul Williams is a king!!

ohhhhhh hmmmm simply the.....best movie ever made??????? non-stop literally perfect , music perfect, camp perfect, costumes perfect, set dec perfect (SISSY SPACEK DID SOME OF IT!!!!!!!!!) and my eyes eating the entire thing up like cake it's so beautiful
