Arsenic and Old Lace
It is said Cary Grant didn't want to do this film and played it over the top. Yet his over the top performance is one of many reasons it works. Capra films are classics for a reason. One of the best if not the best comedy ever made.

Clue
Great dialogue, the idea of a movie from a board game seemed then to be ridiculous, superior cast, well written and delivered. A must see.

Undercover Blues
It's not a classic, it's not epic, it is what it was intended, a fun funny comedy, for Stanley Tucci fans this is one of his earlier roles, but he is great as a secondary character. And the chemistry and timing between Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid is well suited to roles.
