Watch a Supercut Tribute to Tim Curry's Amazing Movie Laugh
Everyone loves Tim Curry, and for all sorts of reasons. Some love him for his urbane, witty turn as the master-of-ceremonies butler in 1985’s Clue. Others for his mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and for his horned demon in Ridley Scott’s Legend. And others still for his unforgettably malevolent clown Pennywise in the TV mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s It. But if there’s one thing everyone who’s ever enjoyed a Tim Curry movie can agree upon, it’s that his laugh is second-to-none.
Thus, there’s no better way to spend a Friday than by watching the above supercut from Ranker of Curry chuckling his way through many of his most famous films. What’s most amazing about this compilation is that it underscores just how often the actor punctuated his performances with his maniacal chuckle, which is just as appropriate in a dark fantasy epic (Legend) as in a family comedy (Muppet Treasure Island).
While the actor has done only limited work since suffering a stroke in 2012, this video is a reminder that few stars have been as purely fun to watch over the past few decades.
