Tim Curry.... Greatest Actor?

  I've seen thousands of movies and occasionally get into discussions with other movies fans regarding the best performance / film score / film in a certain year / etc....

  I've had disagreements with people as to the acting quality of Marlon Brando, James Stewart, Jimmy Cagney, Bette Davis but.... The one actor that I've never experienced any disagreements on is (inexplicably) Tim Curry, who I've been a big fan of since 'CLUE' and I'm almost convinced that there is not a single purveyor of film that doesn't like his acting, but I'd like to do an experiment on here to see if anyone does.

  Does everyone really like Tim Curry?

  No way in the world am I gonna say Greatest Actor, but I think he's damn good.

  PS I don't think I could give that title to anyone.

  He's a bit too flamboyant for me, but a decent chap otherwise. I've no quarrel with the quality of his work.

  Entertaining and talent do not go hand in hand. But I do enjoy seeing him in movies for laughs.

  Johnny Depp is the world's greatest actor. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is not far behind.

  I think Tim Curry is fun to watch, but NOT the greatest actor. My top 10 would be, in no particular order:

  Dame Judi Dench
  Daniel Day-Lewis
  Laura Linney
  Gary Oldman
  Johnny Depp
  Heath Ledger
  Morgan Freeman
  Tim Robbins
  Susan Sarandon
  Helen Mirren
