Clue (1985)
Tim Curry stars in this film inspired by the board game Clue or Cluedo as it is known in the UK. A dinner party is held in a big house for a number of people that have been invited anonymously and murders ensue.
In general board games do not make for obvious inspiration for films but this film works really well thanks to the great performance of Tim Curry as the butler and the script that includes plenty of silliness and humour. The plot only serves nominally as a mystery what the film is really about is the comedy but the three different endings are a good touch. It does feel that there is a slight amount of padding in the middle of the film but it does not hold the film back really.
4/5 very funny dark comedy.
