Tim Curry's replay of the evening's events is one of my favorite comedic bits. It was brilliant.

I made my nephew watch this when he was in High School. He was like "Why would I want to see a movie about a board game?" and I was like "It has Tim Curry" and he was like "Sold, let's do this."

Clue the Movie is really a gem of a underrated comedy.

Madeline Kahn’s “flames on the side of my face” and the singing telegram used to leave me in hysterics as a kid. I still use the flames bit to this day.

I think "Flames on the side of my face" is the official funniest line by Madeline Kahn, ever, lol. If I remember right, she improved it. Also, the telegram girl (Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Gos) I believe has the record for the shortest time between a character being introduced and then killed on screen, lol.

He was shocked at how much the opinion changed with the video endings and is very happy to see multiple generations of fans for the movie.

How is it that in 1985, Hollywood managed to adapt a board game into this masterpiece, and today, they can't get video games right in movies if their lives depended on it?

Fun fact: the "flames on the sides of my face" was completly improvised by Madeline.

"He won't be driving home officer, I promise you that" might be my favorite line in this whole movie.

My fave knock knock joke: "Hey, I heard a great knock knock joke, wanna hear?" "Sure." "Ok, you start" "Knock knock." "Who's there?"

Flames is a lot of people's favourite moment, which makes the fact she improvised it on the spot even more amazing. I miss Madeline Kahn so much. Check out High Anxiety for another great performance

Because obviously, old chandelier had candles. But the weapon is not a candelabrum either, but a candlestick, which in my language is a CASTIÇAL.

My favorite ending is the one with Wadsworth as the killer. I just like the idea of the main character and arguably the investigative force of the movie actually being the killer.

“It’s you and me, honeybunch.”

Matt's favourite line was apparently used by the late, great Christopher Lee. During WW2 Lee had an illustrious and mostly secret time, including clandestine work for SOE, the SAS and in a small force of Nazi hunters just after the war. Someone got wind of this and was pressuring him for a fun anecdote. "I'm sorry, I don't talk about that, it was all pretty hush hush." "Oh go on." "Sorry." "Go on." [whispering and leaning close] "Can you keep a secret?" "Yes." [booming]"WELL SO CAN I!"

now, from what I understand, they shipped the endings to different movie theaters across the country. So depending on where you went, you would see a different ending. THIS, is actually something I want to see again happen nowadays.

Ok, it's not exactly the same type of movie, but I recommend "Without a Clue", if you haven't already seen it. It stars Michael Caine. It tells the story of Sherlock Holmes, but from the angle of Watson being the mastermind, and Holmes being mainly a figurehead. It's a bit like Remington Steele. Of course, something happens to Watson, and Holmes has to figure out how to get him back.

Thank you SO much for reacting to this movie! It's in my top 10 movies of all time. I never get tired of watching it. It's like visiting with an old friend. Yes...the jokes are somewhat super corny, but that's what makes it lovable. Fun fact...Lee Ving who played Mr. Body, was in a punk rock band in the early to mid 70's called "Fear". They were invited to play on Saturday Night Live in it's very early days by one of their biggest fans, John Belushi. What makes this notable is that after the performance, they were banned from SNL for life. They played offensive songs, used obscene language and the dancers destroyed the set with their slam dancing onstage.

One thing I don't see pointed out is that in the game, your can't overtake another piece. (if one is in a doorway, you can't go through that door until that one moves.) They did that in this movie up until Wadsworth starts running around explaining the murders. Any time the characters try to pass each other, they collide. Or when Scarlet and Mustard try to slide past each other. Funny/sad passage of time note. The movie came out in '85 but based in '54. If this movie came out now, in '24, it would be based in the '93...

Emily's laugh is so infectious lol 😆

Hot dang! Hoped you guys would do this one. A classic of camp and slapstick. Perfect cast and kudos to Tim Curry. ALSO: Ryan Reynolds wants to do a remake of this movie. I love Ryan's work but hope that he doesn't.

I feel I need to give a shout out to the writer/director Jonathan Lynn. This was his first ever directing gig, which is pretty amazing. He's perhaps best known as the co-writer (along with Antony Jay) of the legendary UK sitcoms Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister.

Tim Curry was amazing as a voice of Gabriel Knight. As a gamer I started to notice his talent more through games first. Then later he played Soviet leader in Red Alert 3, that was so funny and unexpected.
