Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Finally watched "The Phantom of the Paradise" last night.

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]I've heard about this movie for years and been told that it's better than Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yes and no. <IMG SRC="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zwPSTH1+L.jpg"> It's actually got a really good, dark story about how you practically need to sell your soul to get ahead in the music biz, compared to Rocky Horror's non-plot. And it keeps at a consistent quality from start to finish, unlike Rocky Horror which falls apart in the second half. <I>BUT...</I> it's every bit the musical as Rocky Horror yet the songs suck,and (with one exception) they're filmed boringly. Nobody's gonna scream and jump out of their chairs to dance at a wedding to any of this movie's songs they way they would for The Time Warp.[/quote]
