Not only is this movie is eminently quoteable, but the wordplay, the puns, the back-and-forth, the insults, the deadpan, the slapstick, the sight gags, and recurring gags.... They all just add to its value. The movie is practically perfect.

I was thinking they do make another Clue movie, I would want a totally different mystery in a big house. I would never want them to use the same characters and plot. I guess the characters could start out getting aliases so still end up Miss Scarlet or Prof Plum. But definitely keep it a comedy to make it more unique. Not many comedy mysteries set in country houses.

Not to mention; its fanbase has grown enough at least, that the tv-show 'Psych' did an entire tribute-episode to this movie!

There was also a double VHS game with additional characters like Miss Peach, Sgt Gray and Mr. Brown. It was an 80s (before the movie) interactive game. We had both VHS tapes.

Poor Ms. Warren, she was wearing heels too the whole time!

One of my all time faves. Great cast, script, set, and acting. I really want to see the Ryan Reynolds remake. I showed Clue to my 10 year old niece and she loved it. She's been playing the board game since she was 7.

You're the man, Minty!

This was my movie growing up. My family was nuts about it. We used to tape ourselves on cassette acting it out, banging on window screens for the thunder effect.

Totally missed opportunity to close with Michael McKean's unforgettable closing line: "I'm going home to sleep with my wife." "I told you I didn't do it!"

Just goes to show, critics often miss the mark. I found it fun and engaging. I watched it again a few months ago. Great flick. Top 15 favorite movies.

I'm a member of The Junior Chamber of Commerce Players (JCCP) which is the official "Rocky Horror" shadowcast group for Pittsburgh, PA, and we've performed a full shadowcast of "Clue" a couple of times. It's one of those movies that actually lends itself to a shadowcast very well as it has a small cast of only 14 characters (plus a few random FBI agents and cops at the very end) and none of the characters change costumes throughout the movie. Unfortunately, it wasn't until recent years that performing a shadowcast for the movie became a bit more doable as Paramount had a reputation for sending cease-and-desist letters to various shadowcasts who were attempting to perform the show. I don't know if the powers that be have simple changed hands, or of someone realized that shadowcasts can actually increase ticket sales, but more and more shadowcasts have begun to perform "Clue" without problem in recent years.

That intro was outstanding 😂 I can't believe some miserable pissworm actually flagged it, bogus!

Love this movie! When it came out in ‘85 I remember I looked up the playing times, theaters and endings playing at each theater in our local newspaper. As I recall, the newspaper listing would state whether it was ending “A”, “B”, or “C”. Anyway, they definitely got their bucks out of me. 😄.

Every video is like nostalgia on a cracker, keep it up Minty!

Thanks Minty. One of my favorite movies.

I watched all three endings in the theater and loved it. It was a fun movie. I still watch it every once in a while.

If i could only watch 5 movies for the rest of my life, Clue would make the list.

Watched it recently for the 1st time and I really enjoyed it. Especially Tim Curry's performance was so good ❤

I love this movie! I was binge watching it on VHS as a kid :D

This is one of 2 comedies I laugh out loud too. That French maid tho 😍🥰 ps please to the money pit next. Thanks again minty 😊

You should do "Murder by Death", it is an excellent movie that has Truman Copote in it, that alone makes it interesting.

I absolutely LOVE this movie. I've had the DVD stolen from me 4 times!!

I remember a bit back and forth the day i went out to see this movie with my parents, They wanted B, i wanted C. You had to PICK which ending you wanted and would get tickets for that ONE ending. We were at showing C. after that the TV version would include, at the end, a section that would say.... "OR IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED LIKE THIS!" and then would go to show the last 10 min of the movie with each ending, 3 times.
