I remember making a trek away from my hometown to see Alien for the first time on 35mm when I was in high school. To this day it remains one of my favorites.
What movie did you pick?
Clue

In ten words or less, tell us why we HAVE to see this movie!
A brilliantly campy, iconic cult classic that you'll quote forever!
Okay - expand on that - why did you make this your staff pick?
I chose Clue for my staff pick because it is truly my favorite movie to watch with others. It's funny, ridiculously campy, but remains whip smart the entire time. Every time I watch it (and I've seen it a lot) I notice something new that makes me laugh.
Any parting words you'd like to impart?
I am so excited to have this movie shown on 35mm!
