Every movie critic has a soft spot for a certain type of film, no matter what he or she might say to the contrary. I, for instance, am a sucker for films where men dress in drag.

Especially bad drag. A flowered dress and stubble equal hilarity for me, for reasons I probably don't want to investigate too thoroughly.

But I also appreciate good drag, and there's been none better than Tim Curry 's Dr. Frank-N-Furter in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

One of my fondest memories from adolescence is of watching "Rocky Horror" for the first time at a midnight screening. Seeing Curry's sweet transvestite command the screen made the experience worthwhile despite the plumes of clove cigarette smoke and candy missiles that came dangerously close to my head.

"Rocky Horror" plays at 10 tonight as part of the Movies on a Big Screen series at 600 4th St. in West Sacramento. Admission is $6, and costumes are encouraged.

The evening of films starts at 7 p.m. with "Miss Gulag," a decidedly non-camp documentary about women prisoners in Siberia. Tickets are $5 for the earlier show.
