Who knew that a board game film adaptation with terrible sexist jokes could be so good, actually? Famously known as this author’s favorite movie in childhood, Clue is the platonic ideal lampoon of an Agatha Christie whodunit formula, which every Knives Out (and seemingly Blink Twice, out next week) has tried to replicate – to varying degrees of success. But nobody does it like the original, maybe because Clue’s glue is Tim Curry’s wry butler Wadsworth, who fully sends the camp. Although Madeline Kahn as the austere Mrs. White regularly steals the scene as well. As the summer winds to a close, head to the Paramount for the perfect vibe shift intro to spooky season (and some Halloween costume inspiration). – Lina Fisher
