Clue. 'Tis a fun film. Black Comedy, but surprisingly lighthearted and slapstick-ish.

"I'm gonna go home, and sleep with my wife".

They were all lovable. Especially Mr. Boddy. Who was dressed in Black. But the Butler was brilliant as well.

One of my favorite movies ever. Such great, funny character.

Also, "no meaning yes" is one of my favorite gags to spring on people.

It certainly had clever dialogue to go with the slapstick.

Love it. My favourite improvised line in any movie ever. (Spoilers)

Terrific movie, especially Tim Curry as Wadsworth. He has one of my favorite uses of Understatement ever: "Three murders (...) This is getting serious."

I like how with the Multiple Endings (though it's hinted only the Last one is the true ending), those who want to say The Butler Did It can, and those who don't can do the same.

Everyone wins.

Also, I wish I had been around when everyone who saw the movie began talking about the ending and noticed they were all talking about something different. That must have been fun.

One Strip! One Strip!

Actually even when The Butler Did It, it wasn't actually the butler, but Mr. Boddy.
