Tim Curry



The star of Rocky Horror Picture show, has had mostly ensemble and supporting roles since then. However, he has been in his share of memorable movies over the years. I like him best in Comedic roles like in Clue, Charlie’s Angels, McHale’s Navy, and National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon 1. And he excels in villain roles as well (all of the comedic roles above are villainous) like in The Three Musketeers, Muppet Treasure Island, The Shadow, and IT.

And Clue, would have been nothing without him (although Kudos to Christopher Lloyd and Mike McKean). Recommended viewing this week will be IT, but if you are feeling like a comedy check out Clue.
