RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Guys! "Rock 'N' Roll High School" is finally out on Blu-Ray so Wendy and I watched it tonight. The transfer is magnificent but beyond that this movie is still incredible and will withstand the test of time. Just like "Detroit Rock City" in my opinion. If you watch "Rock 'N' Roll High School" and "Detroit Rock City" back to back you can see that there are some very interesting similarities. I had to include the great "Dazed And Confused" movie as well even though this thread has nothing to do with that brilliant film. Did you know that Alice Cooper's "School's Out" is in "Rock 'N' Roll High School" and "Dazed And Confused?" I was hoping that "School's Out" was also in "Detroit Rock City" but it isn't, however the song "School Days" is in the film. I know this is the Video Vertigo section but man The Ramones kicked ASS!!! Great fukkin' band. Great fukkin' movie. P.J. Soles is awesome. I still like her in "Halloween" better! Isn't P.J. in "Stripes" too? I honestly don't know which flick to choose. I know I won't vote for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." As great as it is to the world I never got into it. Love, Planet Schmanet Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit that I have seen the Rock Horror Picture Show on dvd, but I am a Rocky Horror Picture Show Virgin when it comes to seeing in the theater with all of the live production. Maybe that's why I never going into "The Time Warp." Never really got into the movie at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did vote for "Detroit Rock City" but don't get me wrong I think "Dazed And Confused" is one of the best movies ever made. Do you have the Criterion version of the film? IT ROCKS!! Still don't know why this movie isn't on Blu-Ray yet. Same with "Detroit Rock City!" WTF???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarianStar Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Rocky Horror gets my vote although I do prefer its sequel. A much better movie, but it never caught on like RHPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes some of the original cast were not in it, but you still had a good number returning. The music was outstanding. Plus, it basically predicted what "reality tv" would be in the future.

Stormtron Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yeah, Shock Treatment is very much in the same vein as Rocky Horror. I hate both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Detroit Rock City... the movie reminded me of me and a group of my friends back then. I remember purposely arc-ing two wires for fun in electronics class. Hell, I even had a similar flannel shirt and crappy mop haircut. Just bump up the year 1978 a couple and replace Kiss with the Scorpions... that was me and my buddies in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
