Charles Grodin was hysterical in the movie with DeNiro! Both of them with their bantering back and forth. The movie is Midnight Run. Charles Grodin was also hysterical whenever was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. 🌸
The ending is still in the back of my mind. When she hugs him, it just kills me every time. This is also an accurate depiction of the duality of this power she has. She has to deal with this as a gift, and a curse. This is a seriously under appreciated movie.
@@steveprice2718 I like to think I do...but forgetting that, it's just a beautiful movie Unforgettable performances by Burstyn and the Legendary Eva LaGalliene as her Grandmother and another beautiful performance by that old codger Richard Farnsworth...it's that relationship that goes full circle I'll never forget the snake Gemini or that picture of Farnsworth in Peru I'll get there ...just lovely The ending is a tearjerker, but it's not schmaltz..it's well earned , it's something to aspire to

Boy, did they get this one wrong! This is a charming and very funny movie that I loved since I was little. Three great comic actors at the top of their form.
I like that they switched up the format a little for the holidays here by including Christmas season recommendations at the end. Raging Bull would, of course, come to be remembered as a classic.
hm. I wonder whether or not Bo Derek and the other young person get together by the end after Shirley McClaine and Anthony Hopkins realize they love each other more and have more in common and mutual yaaawwwwn
I read that Barbra Streisand talked Neil into doing that role ala A Star is Born a few years earlier.. Big mistake, but I loved the songs, especially Love on the Rocks..
Seems Like Old Times is a guilty pleasure - just so much fun and silly! (: Resurrection has two great Oscar-nominated performances. The Jazz Singer was a snoozefest. Haven't seen the other movie.
Diamond was offered the choice between jazz singer and a movie based on his song "Brother loves traveling Salvation show." ... Boy did he screw up!! He's completely perfect for the latter,.. yes and too old for The jazz Singer
You know, when you stop to think about it, The Jazz Singer is a pretty bad concept and pretty intolerant also. The original would have been nothing without Al Jolson's ad libs -- which is what everyone remembers about it anyway. And this one would have been worthless absent Neil Diamond's soundtrack, which is still pretty good. And Jerry Lewis also appeared in a TV version, which was released on DVD a while back -- and that's pretty pathetic because Lewis never takes his films seriously and usually plays a variant of his Kid character in any case. I just don't know what is it about this 12th century story that appeals to filmmakers.
I didn't think the jazz singer was as bad as what these guys said. Yes Neil Diamond seemed disconnected from the other actors but I think his character was meant to be that way.
Why the hell do people hate Jazz Singer? It was an amazing film with a great soundtrack and what should have been an Oscar nominated performance for Neil Diamond. Also that ending when he reunites with his father makes me cry everytime.
Seems Like Old Times is horrid. Not even funny when you're drunk and that's the only way a movie this lame could be funny. Saw it in a theater when it came out and I was not amused. Tried again on cable and still too stupid.
I love Seems Like Old Times, since I was little
I love Seems Like Old Times, too
It has a special place in my heart.I was 12 when it came out. I also love Foul Play from 1978 w/ Goldie& Chevy😎👍
@@christineobrien7707 back when Chevy was great
@@yournamehere6002 Yes!!
I love discovering these films. There are so many great films which are just forgotten or have been just lost for no reason.
Seems Like Old Times is one of my favorite comedies! I loved it!
Agreed. Underappreciated classic. Hilarious throughout. One of Chase's best. Great cast.
Super funny chemistry between Chase & Grodin. The dinner party scene killed me.
Aurora's Chicken Pepperoni. Love It
100%
@@patrickc3419 exactly!
As a kid when Seems Like Old Times would come on cable and I didn't know what it was, I thought it was sequel to Foul Play.
Charles Grodin was hysterical in the movie with DeNiro! Both of them with their bantering back and forth. The movie is Midnight Run. Charles Grodin was also hysterical whenever was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. 🌸
That movie was the only time DeNiro was funny. I'd have to give credit to Grodin for that. Their chemistry was super.👍
Episode aired December 23, 1980 according to IMDb.
I like how they consistently pointed out the bad dialog in movies
Resurrection is a Underrated Classic - One of the Best Performances in Ellen Burstyn's
I love you for saying that, This movie had a profound effect on me! You must have a deep soul 🤨🤔

I loved Seems like Old Times! Sigh. Grodin especially is so underrated in that.
Ellen Burstyn is my favorite actress. She’s always been really good in everything I’ve seen.

I liked the Jazz singer with Neil Diamobd. I saw it on TV when I was young. It's more of a TV movie than a theater one. Loved the music in it.

Laurence Olivier is one of the Great English Speaking Actors, I wish he'd try an English Accent again

Too funny! We think too much alike! LMAO
I thought he is completely convincing as an old Jewish guy and that's amazing
@@steveprice2718 lol
@@piper888 it was hammy and not in a good way , he played a Jewish Character in Boys of Brazil and was bad in that one too
They both stunk

Resurrection is a great movie.
The Jazz Singer was actually a great movie.
Gene always stuck to his principles on film criteria and good for him
The Jazz Singer is the Citizen Kane of bad movies.
Diamond was offered the choice between jazz singer and a movie based on his song "Brother loves traveling Salvation show."
... Boy did he screw up!! He's completely perfect for the latter,.. yes and too old for The jazz Singer
I miss Chevy chase comedies
Resurrection is a divine classic. Ooops, pardon the pun.
What the hey? Seems Like Old Times is an absolute classic! Holy crap I keep forgetting how much I hated Siskel and Ebert.

yeah Ebert really blasted the music but he wasn`t a music critic....it was ok watch on HBO....

25:49..Siskel rants against violence every chance he gets...the poor kids ..women in danger...wish he had shown more consistency
There was some violence in his all-time favorite classic "Saturday Night Fever" 😂😁
He is against violence just for the sake of it, and I agree
Killing someone to just kill it to get a reaction is what he was against and he is right
he`s liked a lot of violent films even horror films...
@@iluvmylovebirdandmybudgiet7729 Because it played sense in those films
Yeah, the jazz singer wasn't that good and the racism Is cringy as hell
"I hef no son!" And, we hef no good film. Yup, good choice, Sir Laurence. I did and, still, like the soundtrack, however. Too bad, the film was dreck.
Seems like Old times is hilarious... one of tjr best for Chase snd the best for Hawn.....

It wasn't that bad, there were a few funny scenes, His hand being stepped on while under the bed was very funny
@@KaejaeDoherty Idiotic.
Gene Siskel had the worst takes ever. Dude is up here citing comedies of the 1930s and 1940s...ridiculous. Seems Like Old Times was an awesome movie.
They didn't really care for Chevy Chase in general. Although I think they gave thumbs up to both Fletch and even Funny Farm!
Ebert gave "Fletch" his 2 and 1/2 stars thumbs down review Siskel liked it a lot
The Jazz Singer was first remade in 1952 with Danny Thomas. Why didn't they mention that? Resurrection should be a CLASSIC...Great movie.
