Paramount Celebrates Centennial with contest and a PEEK at new Blu-rays on the way..... (1 Viewer)

I'm sitting here trying to come to grips with the fact that, for whatever reason, I never saw Clue.

 

[Matt Hough]

I find Murder by Death a much funnier film than Clue, but that's simply because everyone's funny bone reacts to different stimuli. I'd certainly be the first in line to buy a Blu of Murder by Death.

I don't know -- naming CLUE in with those other titles is like saying, "ROSEMARY'S BABY, THE DUELLISTS, DRAGONSLAYER, HATARI!, SUNSET BOULEVARD and...THE BAD NEWS BEARS GO TO JAPAN. Btw, I think the first five titles I mentioned are more worthy of inclusion than all but maybe one or two that Paramount has lined up.

Where's War of the Worlds?

 

[Dick]

Yes, and WAR OF THE WORLDS.

Murder By Death is where the idea of Clue came from.

Really? I thought it was the board game. Doug

Where's War of the Worlds?

Good call! I'd LOVE to see War of the Worlds on blu-ray! Doug

Clue or Cluedo in the UK was a game first, but Clue borrowed alot of elements from Muder By Death.

Am I the only one who is surprised by the amount of love for Clue here? I've always been a fan of it but I always thought it was a pretty poorly regarded movie.

Clue is a cult classic, the film didn't do well at the box office, but it's gone on to sell on VHS and DVD, as well as the countless airings on TV, especially Comedy Central back in the day.

much love for Clue, but i remember on its initial release going to two different showing just to see the different endings, that was part of the mystique to it, and yest it does owe to Murder By Death, which needs to be out as well,

 

[Brandon Conway]

Clue was a favorite of mine as a young kid in the late 80s. I wore out the VHS. I still love the film the same way I still love, say, The Goonies. I'm excited for this release.

 

[darkrock17]

It be nice to see Clue get some decent special features, but that might be too much to ask for.

 

[dana martin]

you know what would be a killer feature, yep it has a cult following, Eileen Brennan and Madeline Kahn have both passed, but it would be nice to have the cast in a retrospect, in one of the sets, from the film, the study maybe or the pool room and somewhat in character,

I think Eileen Brennan is still with us, unless she died today.

Elieen still alive she's 79.

 

[dana martin]

I've watched Murder by Death several times and tried real hard to like it, but the comedy in it seems really forced, and the mystery itself never seems to be a real who done it that you can solve, just a gag. I don't know I just don't feel that it is in the same league with Clue which I consider a great comedy classic. Doug

 

[Anthony Neilson]

It'd be great to see A NEW LEAF get some kind of disc release at last, even if Paramount were to licence it out. It's a great movie and there's an interesting story (and a much longer Director's cut, I believe) to go along with it.
