Well, the comments section to my sister's list of favorite movies has turned into a Clue quote-fest. It's a movie I would never think of for my top 5 or even top 20, but it's a movie I will watch every time it's on.
The cast is perfect. It's some of the best character actors of the time with a clever script. If you haven't seen it, you should go rent it now.
And if you have seen it, you'll probably enjoy this collection of Clue movie quotes:
Wadsworth: Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry, specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Prof. Plum: Yes, but now I work for the United Nations.
Wadsworth: So, your work has not changed.
---------------------------------------------------
Wadsworth: I'm merely a humble butler.
Col. Mustard: What exactly do you do?
Wadsworth: I buttle, sir.
Col. Mustard: Which means what?
Wadsworth: The butler is in charge of the kitchen and dining room. I keep everything tidy.
----------------------------------------------------
Wadsworth: The game's up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun.
Miss Scarlet: Oh, come on. You don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick?
Wadsworth: It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the study, two for the chandelier, two at the lounge door, and one for the singing telegram.
Miss Scarlet: That's not six.
Wadsworth: One plus two plus two plus one.
Miss Scarlet: Un uh, there was only one shot that got the chandelier, that's one plus two plus one plus one.
Wadsworth: Even if you're right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not "one plus two plus one plus one."
-----------------------------------------------------
Mrs. White: Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so much! It, it, the, it, flames, flames, flames . . . on the side of my face. Breathing, breathless, heaving breaths, heaving . . .
-----------------------------------------------------
Col. Mustard: Wadsworth, am I right in thinking that there is nobody else in this house?
Wadsworth: No.
Col. Mustard: Then there is someone else in this house?
Wadsworth: No, sorry, I said "no" meaning "yes."
Col. Mustard: "No" meaning "yes"? Look, I want a straight answer, is there someone else or isn't there, yes or no?
Wadsworth: Um, no.
Col. Mustard: No, there is, or no, there isn't?
Wadsworth: Yes.
-----------------------------------------------------
Mrs. White: Husbands should be like Klenex--soft, strong, and disposable.
-----------------------------------------------------
Mrs. White: He had threatened to kill me in public.
Miss Scarlet: Why would he want to kill you in public?
Wadsworth: I think she meant, he threatened, in public, to kill her.

Miss Scarlet: "I hardly think it will enhance your reputation at the UN if it you were to be implicated in the death of one of your patients, Prof. Plum--AND the death of five other people."
Prof. Plum: "You don't know the kind of people they have at the UN. I might go up in their estimation."
Miss Scarlet: "Wadsworth, don't hate me for trying to shoot you."
Wadsworth: "Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn..."
Col. Mustard: "You lure men to their death, like a spider with flies!"
Mrs. White: "Flies are where a man is most vulnerable."
Col. Mustard: "That's right!"
Miss Scarlet: "Do you miss him?"
Mrs. White: "Well, it's a matter of life after death. Now that he's dead, I have a life."
...
Miss Scarlet: "Maybe there really is life after death."
Mrs. White: "Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage."
Man, that's a great movie...
