The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

Directed by Jim Sharman this film based on the musical of a similar name stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick. A newly engaged couple have car trouble one night and seek help at a castle populated by aliens.

If nothing else this film is completely unique in it's blend of science fiction, horror film, 50s rock music and bizarre, unquantifiable qualities. It is hard to know what to make of this film that never really goes anywhere or seems to have much reason to it's madness but it is certainly not the usual fare. Tim Curry is the stand out performance here and there are some nice visual references to classic films.
