"I've seen Rocky Horror Picture Show at least five times, and I'm still unsure if it's a "good" movie" Well, at least it wasn't so bad that he balked at watchi

  I think he’s saying this because the experience of seeing it at midnight with a performance troupe is distinct from the film itself. The experience can be fun even if the movie is possibly not.

  I've seen it multiple times because friends loved it. And I find it vaguely entertaining, so I sat through it, trying to work out what I'm missing.

  I’ve seen it multiple times and gone to several performances to figure out what I’m missing and figured out I’m missing nothing. It’s not good, and not so bad that it’s good. I’ll watch a movie my friends like a second time to see if there was something I didn’t get. Sometimes it clicks, usually it doesn’t. Edit to add: I typically don’t think movies should be watched multiple times to be enjoyed. There are occasions where expectations, state of mind, mood, company, etc. effect a viewing and something needs to change to get a different perspective. Sometimes enjoyment comes from the repetition (especially so bad it’s good movies), but that should be the exception.

  I'm not usually much of a cult movie person. But I've seen Rocky Horror as a midnight movie, just watched it at home, own a bunch of stage soundtracks, and saw it live on stage a few weeks ago for the first time. And really like it even if it drags a bit in the second act. It's certainly not a great movie--and it's camp--but I enjoy it.
