TIM CURRY MOVIE
dude.. what the fuck has been the last 48 hours?
Thank you for all your kind thoughts and messages yesterday. It was a hard day for so many of us and honestly my heart is still shattered. I want to watch Rhinestone for her = because I've already seen 9 to 5, Steel Magnolias, Joyful Noise, Best Little Whore house, and Straight Talk.
Rhinestone is a bit harder to get a hold of than I planned but I'm trying.
TIM CURRY MAN.. what the hell...
an actor that NO ONE can replace. and too be honest - he probably saw the news about Dolly was like "Well.. there's no point anymore" and honestly same.
Rocky Horror, titanic, IT, Clue, Home Alone 2, Annie, Muppet treasure island, Hunt for red October, 3 musketeers are all on the channel.
These options - I tried to stick to on screen roles but we're starting to get into more voice acting for Tim.

"The Worst Witch" for Tim Curry tribute during HallowBeans.
Gotta be Legend though props for including The Shout, Times Square and The Shadow in there, like the first 2 in particular are deep cuts I doubt many people have ever heard of let alone thought of. Love seeing the spotlight put on obscure hidden gems.
I haven't seen Legend (or Willow) so I should find a copy of those for Halloween season. I'm not going to lie... Deep down, I was hoping for Charlie's Angels to win. Just because I thought maybe Legend had already been watched. Like 4 years ago. I don't think CA is a better movie at all. I just enjoy spy / secret agent stuff a lot. I mean, one of my personal favorite Tim Curry movies is 1991's Oscar - the gangster comedy / spoof (sorta). That movie is hilarious and a half.
I would also vote for Oscar.
Just FYI to anyone who has posted support for Legend in this poll, there is an additional poll here: https://www.patreon.com/awkwardashleigh/posts/legend-poll-167850805
He's also in "The Worst Witch" if you want to wait for HalloBeans in October. He's also in a Part 2 of a certain franchise, should you choose this for HalloBeans. as well.
Maybe you could consider watching The Bodyguard because she loved how Whitney Houston covered her song for the movie. She said in an interview that she almost crashed her car while driving when it came on the radio, she had to pull into a Walgreens parking lot to listen to it. Interesting fact is that it was Kevin Cosners idea for her to sing that song for the movie.
Just gotta say that Legend is currently halfway (333) to an appropriate number.
Welp. I’m just going to take a moment and suggest doing a poll for Peter Cullen as well. Voice of Transformers’ Optimus Prime.
I would think that if Cullen gets a tribute it will just be The Transformers: The Movie (1986).
Dont forget Mupets Treasure island. Or did Ashley already see that one?
She did: https://youtu.be/0v8ZklcEPkg
He is AMAZING in Legend. Easily one of his best performances.
On streaming channels, Rhinestone is currently only available on Roku with ads. The whole movie is also available on YouTube. You can get it on DVD on eBay, but the only Blu-Ray copies are the European version, so if you go that route check if your Blu-Ray player is able to play that.
It's been resolved. :)
Legend should most certainly win. It is one of his iconic roles. However, one that is not included on this list that I think you would really enjoy watching at some point is the movie Oscar. It's hillarious. It stars Sylvester Stalone, but Tim has a major part, and is absolutely wonderful in it. It has slapstick, word play, and romance. I really think you would enjoy it.
Girl if you liked that dairy milking farm book you are gonna love legend.
There’s no way Legend is going to lose, but the Three Musketeers on the channel isn’t the version with Tim Curry. His version was made in 1993 by Disney and well worth the watch.
Legend, the theatrical version please. I love this movie and his acting in it, but Tim is in full makeup the entire time and we can't see his wonderful face. - The Worst Witch is also a wonderful option. It's about about an hour long and he's in the last 15 minutes or so. Excellent performance though!
For the millionth time..... "Oscar" - he's a main supporting character, lots of screen time. AND IT'S GOD-DAMN hilarious, People! "Finucci's, SIT!" And Burton you did NOT watch the Tim Curry '3 Musketeers', put that hoe on the LIST!
Who's number 3? They always go in 3s or 7s.
I say screw it, do two for Tim! Do Legend for live action and Ferngully for animation.
Tim's Southern US accent as he plays a detective in the old PC adventure game Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, (the one before they went FMV and got a 90s long hair surfer guy to play the role) is a thing to behold.
I have such a soft spot for Times Square --was just thinking about it earlier this week, in fact, wondering if i still had the soundtrack boxed away somewhere -- a soundtrack that includes Tim Curry tracks. What a talent he was! But no one else saw that movie, so it'll be Legend, and that's OK too. Though I think the Tim Curry we see in Times Square is closer to the *real* Tim Curry than any of his better known roles.
The soundtrack was the reason it was unavailable on home video for so long, but in the past couple of years, it was cleared and a Blu-ray was released. Worth picking up as who knows if it will be rereleased.
Actually... the Three Musketeers you watched was from 1973 and Tim Curry wasn't in that one. He was in the 1993 version. And it would be an excellent tribute to him!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
his Tales From the Crypt episode is just amazing.
Oh, that's such a WILD episode
Oscar (1991) has Tim Curry, Sylvester Stallone and just a stacked cast. It’s a farce with some Clue vibes
That voice almost made me want to make a man. (wink wink)
What about oscar?
I hope you can get rhinestone. I love that movie!
She did!
Legend if for nothing else the most incredible and most torturous makeup routines anyone has ever have to endured, and of course Tim Curry did.
Agreed. Legend is a fine Tim Curry film.
Oscar you must watch Oscar it got marsa Tomei My Cousin Vinny
Just throwing out the title Oscar. Tim had a very fun part in this movie. It starred Sylvester Stallone.
I'm going to put Halmark "Christmas at Dollywood"
its more of a supporting role, so not for the poll, but if youve never seen Kinsey its underappreciated and he is hilarious in it.
Legend, 100%. But we gotta get The Worst Witch on here too 😆
YES PLEASE!!! It is not Halloween without Tim Curry's Halloween song!
Agree with others - this list could use Oscar on it.
Love you, Ashleigh. <3 How about that "Shakespeare" miniseries where he played Shakespeare?
The Shout (1978) is probably the most critically acclaimed film he's in; it's a pretty great thriller/horror movie. It's a shame there seems to be no chance it wins...maybe Hallobeans?
Legend is a MUST!!!
Tim Curry played an INCREDIBLE Devil! He is a true LEGEND!
I vote for Legend, he is superb in that role, but someday I'd love to see your reaction to Oscar from the early 90s. It's hugely underrated IMO, and Tim Curry plays such an endearing character.
Still hoping for Oscar. But Legend.
Since it's likely going to be Legend, track down the director's cut. The theatrical cut of Legend spoils what Tim Curry looks like almost immediately in the movie. Which is a shame because it's supposed to be a big reveal, it's one of the coolest villain entrances ever, and it's one of the coolest practical makeup effects ever.
In case you haven't seen, there's a bonus poll: https://www.patreon.com/awkwardashleigh/posts/legend-poll-167850805
It probably won't win, but one day please please please watch The Shadow
My only issue with Legend is that while it is iconic and an epic performance, Tim Curry physically is lost in the makeup. It is also an otherwise surreal and cerebral movie, that really drags when Tim Curry is not performing.
Legend. No question. I've always loved The Shadow, but he's only a supporting character in that one, and not even the main villain. But I do agree on Ferngully, too. He voiced one creepy villain in that one.
Also while you have watched a version of “Three Musketeers” you didn’t watch the one with Tim Curry in it.
Ooh. I know you’ve watched a majority of Dolly’s films, but Rhinestone? It’s a pretty bad one. Where In her 1994 autobiography Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business, Parton said of the film “I guess the public didn’t want to see Sylvester Stallone do comedy – or see me do Sylvester Stallone." Go with one of her holiday titles like “A Smokey Mountain Christmas” or “Unlikely Angel”.
Um, I don't think you've done the 1993 Three Musketeers. I searched your channel and only saw the one with Raquel Welch not Tim Curry. While I agree Legend is iconic, you really should do the 1993 version as its really good.
they always say the deaths come in 3. Maybe Hayden, Dolly and Tim?
Three Musketeers, The Shadow, Loaded Weapon 1 are all great, but Oscar from 1991 would be my choice. Not only underseen, underrated AND under reacted to, but also has Clue energy and an exceptional cast.
Clue was amazing but no one will be Frankenfurter except Tim.
Fern Gully if you can. Loved this growing up. Its the better Avatar lol.
Legend... so much...
Charlie’s Angel’s is one of the movies I’ve been wanting you to watch so bad but Tim isn’t in it much. So I’m going with Legend where he rules
McHale Navy, the three musketeers, he was in so many great ones
The Shout is just weird and not in a good way. Oh please find Rhinestone!!! Literally one of my favorite movies!!!!!
She's gotten it! 👍
Legend is the only way to go. Baby Tom Cruise and Tim Curry is fantastic. Hopefully we don't have anymore of these polls this year. 💔
Love how many people are gunning for Oscar! Love that movie so much
I always liked him in the original IT and in Jackie's Back
In the absence of FernGully (an extraordinary performance by Jim if I do say so) I’d love to see Legend!
Hey Ashleigh I have Rhinestone on an external drive I can hunt it up for you if can't get your hands on it. Let me know.
It's taken care of!
Legend is the perfect tribute movie for Tim
DM on discord I might be able to help you get rhinestone
All taken care of.
Another great Tim Curry performance to look for is the very underrated film Oscar starring Sylvester Stallone. One of Curry's best comedic performances.
Legend.
Legend is a Tim Curry movie, but at some point we have to get her to watch Oscar. He’s a supporting role in it, but damn was he funny and it’s a good movie all around.
I thought the exact same thing Ashleigh. I also immediately thought of you when i heard about Dolly. I then thought of you again after I heard about Mr. Curry! Come on!
We may finally get Legend!
Considering that the man was an absolute legend, the choice is clear.
I remember Tim Curry primarily as the title character of the UK TV drama series "Will Shakespeare". Like most talented British actors, Hollywood mainly used him as a villain and it paid off best in "The Shadow"
You have 3 Musketeers with Raquel Welch, I don’t think you have 3 Musketeers with Tim Curry
You are right, she watched the 1973 - Three Musketeers & not the 1993 - Three Musketeers which had Tim Curry.
Tim Curry can make anyone sexy. Even the Devil. It's looking like a Legend landslide.
I have to look up Times Square and The Shout now. Hope they’re great. :)
FYI the Titanic that Tim Curry was in is NOT the Kate/Leo movie. It was a TV Mini Series that came out a year before the Kate/Leo movie.
Did we forget to say protect Tim Curry?
I had to vote for Legend, but I was surprised that Oscar wasn't at least on the list, not that it would have changed my vote.
Ferngully. You get Tim and Robin Williams
Tim Curry and Dolly Parton, Oh my. I always liked Tim Curry, the outlandish characters he took on, they are both one of those people that are one of a kind and will leave a huge gap behind, seems many like that have been lost very recently :-( I voted for Legend and Congo, I just Love both so much, I know Congo wont win and that is ok, seeing it on the big screen made me feel like I was watching another Jurassic Park back in the day and Tim Curry´s character makes me giggle every time, it felt like a true movie going experience outdone only, in my young mind, by Jurassic Park before and Lord of the Ring many years later. Of course many would disagree and I would not argue, It has not aged great and had many flaws to begin with, not a movie I would label as a must watch or for everyone, I am aware of the hate some people have for it, just a fun adventure movie with cheesy horror elements.
Legend please
Gotta be Legend from this list. I have not even thought about the film Time Square in a long time, but I think I will go back and find it because of Tim and the fact that waaayyyyyyy back I loved the film.
It was unavailable for decades due to the amount of licensed music on the soundtrack that wasn't cleared for video, but a couple of years ago there was finally a Blu-ray release from Kino Lorber.
I really like Congo, but Tim Curry is so good in Legend.
hey Ash rough couple of days, thought of you yesterday when i heard about Dolly and again today when heard about tim. They will be missed. As for the poll i have to choose Legend. I love that movie. Pure fantasy gold.
I love Tim but Congo is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
Absolutely 💯
Legend. It’s a fever dream but he is great. The shadow is also underrated.
That is so true. The Shadow is very underrated. It's one of my favorite movies.
I haven't seen Legend yet myself; planning for it this weekend. Would be lovely to see your reaction afterwards!
Also i don't usually get weepy for celebrities, but Dolly… Even as a Swede, she holds a special place. I'm not even a country fan, but man… Books for kids, LGBTQ allyship, vaccine advocacy and also Buffy the Vampire Slayer? As well as all the other great works of charity and philanthropy and just generally helping people out? Yeah, I'm rewatching 9 to 5 and donating money to the Imagination Library this week.
Legend, and it's not even close. It's probably my favorite screen version of Satan I've ever seen. Plus, it's probably one of Curry's most iconic roles. He's great in the other films, but they're all pretty much just run of the mill supporting roles. He absolutely COOKS in this one.
Oh yes! Legend for sure.
I’m 95% sure I have a dvd of Rhinestone if you’d like me to ship it to you lol
It's been taken care of :)
Legend is totally a Tim Curry driven movie. It has to be this one.
Legend is a must!
He is so good in the movie Oscar. It's one of my faves that I really think you'd like. Plus a comedy sounds good right about now.
100% agree. Ashleigh would love Oscar
1000% Legend with Oscar (not on your list) a close second.
"Dr Poole?!" "Heellloooo?"
The Shadow is soooo underrated. It’s a favorite of mine.
The only reason I know of Rhinestone is because of a podcast about bad movies. Don't get your hopes up.
...of course, and I don't mean to upset the apple cart here but...Ferngully?
I thought animation was problematic for YouTube stuff? Otherwise, yes absolutely.
Legend is such an iconic Tim Curry performance.
True, but everything else in it, snoozefest.
Oscar
GOTTA BE LEGEND!!!
My default image of the devil.
