I'm happy to see Rocky Horror on the adjusted list at #45 - It was a very modest production with hardly any studio support or expectations, but I think it succeeded not just because of the novelty of the audience participation that grew around it, but because the music kicked ass, and still does. I think it is the songs that have made this one timeless - that and the perfect casting. (It isn't the story, dialogue or pacing, heaven knows) I know kids now who love it even more than I did back in the (gulp) 70s and 80s.
