Steineded How sad is this?

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Wuchak RELEASED IN 1985 and directed by Jonathan Lynn, "Clue" is a comedic murder mystery based on the board game featuring an "all-star" cast (Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Eileen Brennan, Lesley Ann Warren, etc.).This is a good movie if you're in the mood for an amusing mystery that takes place during the McCarthy era (1954) almost entirely within a vast gothic mansion on a stormy night. It combines movies like "Ten Little Indians" (1965) and "The Beast Must Die" (1974) with the goofiness of "The Private Eyes" (1980).I was skeptical at how Lynn & the cast could pull off the challenge of making such a confined story entertaining, but I have to admit that I busted out laughing several times (e.g. the scenes of making out with corpses). And the cast is a pleasure to behold with Colleen Camp a highlight as the stereotypical (hot) French maid. The climax with its several murder scenarios is kinda tedious, however. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour 34 minutes and was shot in Paramount Studios, Hollywood, and Max Busch House, Pasadena, California. WRITERS: Jonathan Lynn and John Landis. GRADE: B-/C+

Alan Smithee Esq. Undisputed evidence that a classic Parker Bros. board game can be adapted into a wonderfully entertaining murder mystery/comedy with a stellar ensemble cast including Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd and Michael McKean. Plus there's multiple endings that you can choose from. But which one(s) is actually plausible?

I am going to be the movie man for basementbanter, giving you people reviews of new movies, and recommendations of some of my favorites. I love horror movies so I will be giving you guys a healthy dose of horror recommendations, but I will constantly mix it up and will suggest a few movies a week. While I am a film student don't expect random art-house movies that no one actually gives a sh*t about popping up here. Raiders of the lost Ark, Wolf of Wall Street and The Exorcist are some of my favorite movies, so except guns, girls, laughs and scares from my recommendations. With that being said, I will try and recommend movies not everyone has seen that I think most people will enjoy. Without further ado here is my first recommendation:Clue (1985): You remember that murder mystery board game that you probably used to play with your family back in the day? Yeah they made a movie out of that, and unlike Battleship with Rihanna it wasn't a complete croc of sh*t. In fact it is f**king hysterical. From the slutty maid showing all of the cleavage, to the very clearly closeted homosexual Mr. Green all of the characters impress with quick, funny, razor sharp dialogue.However, the real scene stealer is Tim Curry (of IT and Rocky Horror Picture Show fame) as Wadsworth the butler. He is funny in every single scene he is in especially his frantic speech summing everything up at the end. He is classy, clever and hysterical. It's a comedy with the setting of a classic horror movie, and a mystery like the best thrillers. All while not wasting an opportunity to make a joke.Clue is one of those rare movies that never gets old no matter how many times you watch it. Each time you find yourself laughing at jokes you hadn't noticed before, and new clues that make repeated viewings just as enjoyable as the first. This movie will have you rolling on your ass laughing and trying your hardest to count to 6 (1+1+2+1?).So if you enjoyed comedies like Airplane or Tropic Thunder with clever writing and non-stop jokes from start to finish; or if you just like smiling, happiness, cleavage and having a good time then this is a comedy for you.Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. I will keep the recommendations coming and other movie related articles out daily.

Leofwine_draca CLUE is one in a spate of 1970s/1980s comedies that mercilessly spoofed the old dark house murder mystery genre popular in the 1930s. It shares much in common with the all-star MURDER BY DEATH, for example. However, I think CLUE has the edge when it comes to entertainment, as this film's always been a favourite of mine ever since I was a kid. It has a manic, madcap energy going on that makes it an often delight to watch.Much of the humour and quirkiness comes from the presence of Tim Curry playing the butler in the story. Curry takes centre stage in the story and runs away with part, reminding me of Lee Evans with his sweaty, running-about-a-lot performance. It's my personal favourite performance of his, and it takes some beating. Thankfully, an ensemble cast of seasoned professionals don't disappoint either. Michael McKean is the stand-offish Mr. Green, Martin Mull the blustering Colonel Mustard, and Eileen Brennan the eccentric Mrs. Peacock. Colleen Camp has an eye-poppingly voluptuous turn as the French maid but my personal favourite of the ladies is Lesley Ann Warren as femme fatale Miss Scarlet, whose dress seems to have some magical anti-gravity device.CLUE tells a fast-paced story in which the gags come thick and fast and rarely disappoint. The level of ghoulish humour is second to none and certainly superior to that seen in contemporary fare like HIGH SPIRITS or HAUNTED HONEYMOON. I also liked the way that the film has multiple shot endings which gives it an odd and unique feel. Films based on board games are few and far between and rarely successful (BATTLESHIP anyone?) but this one's the exception to that rule.
