Clue 1985
Casting: perfect. Sound design: perfect. Music: perfect. Line deliveries: perfect. Blocking: perfect. Everything else possible: perfect. Something fun to do: check out the IMDb trivia page. You will admire Leslie Ann Warren’s performance all the more, and a fourth filmed-but-cut ending is cuh-razy dark. Flawless movie, every piece of it.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989
As noted previous review, Page rented for us a private screening of this film as an early anniversary gift (official day is tomorrow). It was extraordinary. (And also SUPER safe.

Page: WHY ISN’T THIS MOVIE EVERYWHERE???
The verbal and physical comedy are of the highest order, as are the action and very surprising, earned emotional moments. Everything is also given room to breathe, and everyone’s awesome in this. No easy route is ever taken in the dialogue, action, and storytelling, and it never steps wrong.
A high bar by which to compare future comedies we see, and despite the hilarious shenanigans in this, there’s something refreshingly laid back about it that is difficult to voice. Inventive and fun and hysterically funny throughout.
LOVED it.
