Re: Movie Club! Time to discuss Clue.

I have seen this movie before, actually a few times. It's just one of those movies that I love and adore, and I'm probably not the best at being objective about it. But:

1. For some reason I keep comparing the opening of this movie with the opening for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not for better or for worse, they just remind me of each other.

2. I adore Mrs White (Madeline Kahn!), Ms Scarlet (best plot), and poor longsuffering Mr Green. Mrs White probably wins, though. She has the best lines. I'm not so fond of either Professor Plum or Colonel Mustard. They're just not as interesting as everyone else.

3. My favourite scene(s) was absolutely the Cop and everyone's hilariously awful attempts to act 100% normal and not like the house was murder central. So many bonus points for Mr Green's expression at the (from his point of view) surprise necrophilia, and the Cop's/Wadsworth's 'It's a free country'/'I didn't know it was that free'.

4. I don't remember having any real thoughts on the soundtrack, beyond that it fit the movie

5. I do like the atmosphere and vague claustrophobia of a lot of the shots. Everybody kept getting all stuffed in against each other. It worked really well.

On the three endings, I've always had mixed feelings about that. Given the source game, it's a really clever little idea and a lot of fun, but I always thought that one of them held up a lot better than the other two. I've especially always had mixed feelings about the Mr Green revelation in one of them.

In response to your favorite scene, I LOVE when characters have to try to act normal to hide something. I especially love when they respond by acting completely not normal. One of my favorite versions is in Supernatural when Dean and Sam are playing Jensen and Jared playing Dean and Sam. https://youtu.be/Ka2AMceJoI4

Which ending did you like the best?

The Ms Scarlet ending always worked best for me, it just felt neater and hung together better. Also she's fabulous. The Mrs Peacock one got bonus points for someone you genuinely wouldn't think capable, but it felt a bit clumsier to me. I did like the murder-on-the-orient-express style ending as well, just for fun and because it fits the idea of the game really really well, but again, mixed feelings about Mr Green in that one. So, Ms Scarlet overall?

The Ms. Scarlet was the one I always felt made the most sense! So I agree with you with that being the one that works best.
