> Oh, and two oft-neglected comedies: "Clue" (1985) is based on the board game, yes, but the writing is excellent. Funny, funny movie, and the singing telegram girl bit is priceless.

Yes! I know exactly what you're talking about, of course. A few friends of mine acted that out for me, and when I didn't recognize it, sent me to rent it right away.

The same friends hunted down a copy and introduced me to "Cat Ballou", a western/comedy. Supposedly the movie had to be made in 32 days, according to those friends, although I'm not sure if that is accurate. Something ridiculous like that. It is one of the most quotable movies EVER, to the extent that we made up a tag game with it. Cat Ballou Tag was played as regular tag, except that if the person who was "it" was about to tag you, you could yell a quote and be "safe", as long as the quote had not been said already. We had tons of fun.
