The Rocky Horror Picture Show & 1970s movie recommendations

I recommend The Rocky Horror Picture show because it's definitely strange, one-of-a-kind and you honestly can't help but sing a long. This movie allows audience participation that gives you an amazing cinematic experience, especially at the mid-night showings. Be sure to bring your rice, toast, toilet paper, playing cards, super-soaker and costume. Rating: 7.5/10

The movie begins with a newly engaged couple, Brad & Janet, finding themselves in an isolated area where their car has broken down. Once they go looking for help, they soon end up at the castle of Doctor Frank-N-Furter, a transvestite alien from the planet of Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania. What Brad & Janet don't know is that it isn't just an ordinary night, Doctor Frank-N-Furter has invited other visitors from his planet to witness his new creation, Rocky Horror. This is the beginning of their very memorable strange journey full of creation, love, hate and the inappropriate.

Breakfast at Tiffany's & 1960s movie recommendations

I recommend Breakfast at Tiffany's because it is a great classic romance, Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen in her gorgeous sophisticated clothes and it keeps you waiting for what she will do next. This movie shows you can have everything out of barely anything at all. It isn't action packed nor does it have excellent graphics, yet it is definitely a must see movie.
Rating: 7/10

Synopsis: Holly Golighty played by Audrey Hepburn lives on Manhattan's East Side in a partially furnished apartment.

She strives towards being a high class socialite with an interest in fashion, jewelery and wild cocktail parties. One day a struggling young writer moves into the apartment building and is soon a part of Holly's life. He becomes quickly intrigued by his beautiful neighbor and also confused by her lifestyle.

1960s Music

This is a picture of the most popular songs and bands of the 1960s. Rock began to gain it's popularity throughout the 1950s, however it wasn't until the 1960s that Rock & Roll music greatly expanded. There were several different genres of rock in this decade such as progressive rock, surf rock and blues-rock. There was also a gain in popularity of singers that wrote their own music such as The Beatles. The Beatles, as you can see in the picture, broke through to mainstream music in the united states, it was known as "The British Invasion". British blues rock created a distinctive style of rock using the electric guitar. The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin contributed to the British blues rock popularity. The British Invasion helped internationalize Rock & Roll and it also played a major part in the rise of rock groups using guitars and drums. In the early 1960s, the genre surf rock became exceedingly popular with bands like The Beach boys and The Ventures. In the mid-1960s, the genre blues-rock began to take off in popularity as it developed a similar sound to British musicians. Jimi Hendrix was an extremely well known blues-rock artist, as well as ZZ Top who became popular in the 1970s incorporating their southern rock sound. Motown, soul music and funk develop their popularity throughout the decade with artists such as The Marvelettes, James Brown and Aretha Franklin.
