Infinitely quotable. This is a fun movie to watch multiple times. I find it especially funny that when it was released, different theaters showed one of the three endings, making sure that people went to see it more than once. Brilliant.

Communism is a red herring: this film is a capitalist plot to sell board games! I hold this film responsible for a number of fetishes developed during my formative, game-playing years -- for french maids, morbid murderesses and slick commodity entertainment. Ground-breaking commodity entertainment -- I believe Clue was one of the first films constructed entirely around a name brand product (the most recent examples are, of course, the Pirates movies). An interesting study of this movie would address The Mr. Body Question - - and examine how sexuality, crime and socialism are marked as closet activities, best participated in anoymously with fake, suggestive names.

I can watch this movie over and over again. The consecutive alternate endings are great and even though I am not a big fan of Tim Curry, he made the perfect butler. The ultimate comedy/mystery movie.
