Rocky Horror, full stop.
Nothing, absolutely nothing can compare to the fun that I had at those midnight shows, throwing rice, tossing cards, spraying water pistols, and shouting 'Asshole' at Brad everytime he introduced himself.
It's time has passed, I think, which is sad, because the comradarie of those showings is something wonderful.
One of my favourite bits, for some reason, was in the beginning, when Brad and Janet get a flat tire. Brad thumps his hand in frustration on the seat, and everyone in the audience thumps in unison with him. I just loved the sensation of everyone thumping at the same time. It was funny, and rather clever.
I was lucky enough to attend showings where we also had a live cast. Our Frankie was fantastic. Absolutely dead-on. On of my favourite things he ever said was, after Rif-Raf says 'say hellow to oblivion' our Frankie said, 'I'm not afraid of oblivion. I live in New Jersey!'
I loved all the things people came up with to shout at the screen, actually. Probably the things we shouted would be completely confusing to a modern audience; funny how one can date oneself like that.
I loved those nights. They were always and without fail fantasastic evenings out with my friends. We'd laugh and shout and sing until my sides ached and my throat hurt, and then we'd go to a diner after and have some fries and sodas, and just had fun being obnixous teenagers, out having a harmless good time.
As an aside - the Karaoke DJ we used to be able to go to was a HUGE Rocky fan, and one of the first times I went I sang "Touch Me" and he was so excited. He would sing Sweet Transvestite, and he was really good.
One time I was doing Touch Me and there was a bride (this was a fancy hotel bar) who LOVED the show and asked if she could join me. Of course I said yes.
So in short. In my life, Rocky Horror will always, always mean I'm having a good time.
