Lounge of Tomorrow - View Single Post - Why is MTV remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Query: I first saw Rocky Horror in 1978 (after Boss Radio's confirmation), and I remember the ads in the paper from when it was first released. (I thought they were scary.) Now, much as I love To Kill A Mockingbird, The Music Man, King Kong v. Godzilla and many other fine movies released in 1962, the year I was born, I have a hard time viewing these movies and their characters as part of "my time" the way I did Rocky Horror.

So, for you young people, what's the lure? Cultural relevance? Cultural curio? Or is Rocky Horror one of those transcendant creations, like The Beatles that every generation discovers?
