Why I Watched It: Yesterday was Tim Curry’s birthday, and it just so happened tha a reader suggested this movie a few days ago as a possibility for this column. After another very long week, it seemed like a nice, lighter viewing option for the weekend. (No offense intended to the person who suggested I watch Fritz Lang’s M.) Plus Clue is a movie I’ve only seen once or twice. For whatever reason, it just wasn’t one of the movies of that era that I watched over and over as a kid. (I was more of a Spaceballs/Ghostbusters guy — or Murder By Death, if we want mystery spoof films.) Meanwhile, I’ve watched the movie’s reputation grow over the years; it’s regularly screened at the Alamo Drafthouse as one of their “Movie Party” events. But it’s not a movie I’ve ever had strong feelings about.

Will I have some strong feelings this time? Let’s see...
