Clue, Home Alone 2, and Muppet Treasure Island are timeless favorites of mine largely because of Curry.

    "oh this is a Muppet show? Very well, I shall be a Muppet as well."

    "No Tim you can just act... Oh my God he's done it."

    The best muppet movies by far are:

    Muppet Treasure Island - because Tim Curry acted like a Muppet.

    The Muppet Christmas Carol - because Michael Caine acted like the Muppets were true actors.

    "rocky horror" is the 1973 musical play "the rocky horror show" and the 1975 film adaptation "rocky horror picture show" - both follow a newly-engaged couple named brad and janet who were going to see dr. everett v. scott when their car broke down - they eventually went into a castle which (spoiler alert) happens to be a spaceship from the people who inhabit it - transylvanians. oh and tim curry is in it as frank-n-furter.

    My introduction to Tim Curry was when he played Rooster in Annie waaay back in 1982.

    It's always been wonderful to see him pop up in movies and shows (and video games) over the years, even if he's just doing voice acting. I know it took him a while after his stroke to be able to talk normally again (he was slow and slurred in his speech for a while), but I'm surprised he hasn't done more voice work since 2012.

    God, all kids should be forced to watch this film. Adults too, if they somehow made it to adulthood without watching fern gully

    Especially in countries most responsible for the climate catastrophe
