    Clue

    Movie based on a board game? Blegh

    But it’s awesome. Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Lesley Ann Warren

      It is then we’re reminded of the ability of good writers and performers to take even a low-potential idea and fucking kill it. With a pen. In the study.

      I also expected a disaster. I wasn’t prepared for how entertaining it was!

      This is top 3 of all time for me. There is so much happening in every scene you can watch it multiple times and still catch little jokes or sight gags each viewing.

        No matter how many times I see it I can never figure out if it was 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 or 1 + 2 + 1 + 1.

          It was 1+2+1+1 or 1+2+2+1
