Clue
 
Undoubtedly the first movie in history to have played in theaters with three different endings (depending on which theater you attended), "Clue" is a silly whodunit based on the familiar board game featuring Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, and all the other usual suspects. A broadly comic cast play the sundry suspects gathered in a mansion to solve a murder, knowing that one of their numbers is the culprit. Michael McKean, Eileen Brennan, and Tim Curry are the best of the bunch, and the film is as lightweight an experience as a round of the game itself. Directed by Jonathan Lynn ("My Cousin Vinny"). The video release contains all three endings. "--Tom Keogh"
