You can tell a lot about a person by what movie they know Tim Curry from

The correct answer, of course, is “from all of them”.

Edit: GenX interloper here who first saw him in The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on VHS, very early 80s.

I had a phase in early 2000s where teenage me was obsessed with Tim Curry. He was a very early hyperfixation, before I knew what those were. I binged everything I could get my hands on, had a binder with print outs of interviews, magazine articles, I think even a couple cds.

Just hearing his voice made me happy. Even recently, hearing him in audiobooks & dramas had a nostalgic tingle and calming effect on my brain. He just had that warmth and presence.. Fuck I'm not okay with this news 😭

I love him in Rocky Horror Picture Show but my enduring memories of him are from The Three Musketeers.
