   "Critics, I'd like to introduce you to this vial of crack. Crack, these are the critics. Oh, I see you've already met...." This movie is phenomenal! Truly a classic. Campy? Without a doubt, but very very funny. Some of the jokes are so low key that even after several viewings I'm still catching new ones. I've now seen a hundred video games turned into movies and very few have been as good as when this was taken from a friggin' boardgame. That alone has to say something.… Expand

   Terribly underrated by the critics! This comedy is a fantastic well-thought spoof and has many subtle references to the Cold War at home. The once flat board game characters become multi-personalities that are each played well by comic geniuses. And the movie even has a Pulp Fiction/Citizen Kane element to it, as in you can watch it many times and still find something new and interesting about it (of course that could just be me since when I use to watch it I was a little kid, and now that I'm older I have a larger understanding of things). Sure some of the stuff doesn't make sense, but the movie even pokes fun at that too. Besides, it's a comedy, doesn't really have to make that much sense. My second favorite comedy of all-time (next to The Holy Grail). F*ck the critics!… Expand

   A lot of comedy based movies are helped along by their lead actor having fun with their role. Robin Williams in particular, specializes in this. If he's having fun in a lead role, he can make a good movie great (Good Morning Vietnam) a solid enough movie good (Mrs. Doubtfire) a mediocre movie solid (Jumanji) or even a bad movie worth watching (Man of the Year). Hell, the first 2 Rush Hour films are fairly generic buddy cop movies directed by a largely talentless man pushed into worthiness almost entirely by they chemistry and fun the two lead actors are having. But Tim Curry is a breed apart in this respect. Not only are his own performances buoyed by him having fun, but the entire production seems to feed on his energy, making the entire movie better than it might have been otherwise. Technically, the prime example of this is his star making performance as Dr. Frankenfurter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but there's also heavy evidence of it in his role as the Butler in Clue.
