Clue (1985)

12 June 2019

Clue (1985) is a delightful film that I originally saw as a kid, and have rewatched over the years with a different perspective each time. As a kid, it was a goofy slapstick comedy, and as I got older I saw different things, like the humor of the times ("I thought men like you were called a fruit"), or the deep cuts like ("frankly Scarlet I don't give a damn" which I didn't catch until recently). As a comedy it ages amazingly well. So much so that my opinion of the film increases with each watch. And with 3 different endings, there's also a charm in that. Ultimately it's one of the best comedies of that era. 9/10
