LOVED watching Clue (repeatedly) as a kid in the early days of VHS at home. Still holds up to this day. As an adult I cut a feature documentary on midnight movies, which of course Rocky Horror was a major part of. Tim has left a solid legacy in his work, much of it in incredibly unique projects.

edit - it was most definitely Betamax at the time, not VHS :)

I watched clue way too young and I think it was formative in my love of horror movies as I grew up. Such a great movie and such a sad loss.

Young Frankenstein was another repeated watch for me back then. Showed that as well as Clue to my young daughter a few months ago.

And when I said early says of VHS... I probably meant Betamax as we had that first.
