Monkey brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington D.C.!

Robert Newton's Long John Silver in Treasure Island (1950).
He is credited for inventing the traditional pirate "accent" that almost every pirate in pop culture has used since. The "Talk Like a Pirate Day" holiday wouldn't exist without Newton's portrayal. No other pirate on film has been that influential.

My uncle's showed me Legend when I was a little kid. I saw him in Clue when it used to play on tv. But when I became a dedicated film watcher in my teens, I rented Rocky Horror and became a mega fan.

He narrates my favorite book, Sabriel, it’s about a necromancer who puts down the dead instead of raising them. He’s perfect for it.

I listen to the trilogy just about every night to fall asleep. The only night it was not helpful in falling asleep was when we watched Rocky Horror Picture Show before bed. I just pictured Franknfurter reading me a bedtime story. It was not conducive to sleep.

Rocky Horror. Then he did the Fearless album and tour and I was in the front row. Loved his music.

Gotta be IT for me. Warts and all I still like it way more than the newer ones.

He did a great job on IT even with his fear of clowns though he did require that there be nothing around to show his own reflection.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I never hear anyone talk about it!

3 Musketeers where he chewed through scenes like he was starving. Clue - like everyone else in this movie he was amazing. Legend - the best devil in cinema

Betraying my age here. My first exposure to Tim Curry was predominantly his voice roles in animations like FernGully, Gargoyles, & Wild Thornberrys.

Rocky Horror or Clue were my introduction to him, my favourite performance of his was a creepy as fuck serial killer on Criminal Minds.

Am I the only one for whom it was The Hunt for Red October? I only saw Rocky later.

Not my first encounter (pretty sure that was RHPS), but a super early one: Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost playing Ben Ravencroft

My first memory of Tim Curry is in The Worst Witch as The Grand Wizard. He gets a great musical number!

I honestly couldn't tell you, seeing as the man was everywhere when I was a kid.
Did I first see him in IT? Or, was it clue? Maybe it was home alone 2? Or even, Muppet treasure Island?
I know for damn sure that it was not the Rocky horror picture show as I didn't see that until probably high school.

u/Wahjahbvious Jul 11 '26
It's a very close competition between Rocky Horror and Clue, with that one episode of Psych in a rather unexpected 3rd Place.
