I kind of wanna see Ashleigh watch "An Officer and a Gentleman" with Debra Winger/Richard Gere. Lou Gossett Jr. just passed away and it's one of his most recognized roles.
Also, since she enjoys John Lithgow "The World According to Garp" would be interesting. No one reacts to that one.
It appears to be another movie without many reactions.
YES YES YES!
There’s so much to Garp - not sure what Ashleigh would make of it.
For Lou Gosset jr. I'd also suggest enemy mine.
Garp is awesome yes but I'm unsure how she'd react to the car scene lol
Absolutely NOT underrated in any sense of the word. Multiple Oscar noms. It was everyone’s go-to weeper for decades.
Second biggest movie of the year! Right behind Jedi!
Not just nominations. It won best picture, director, adapted screenplay, actress, and supporting actor. Huge hit at the box office. It grossed 20 times its production costs.
This. Maybe underappreciated by younger generations but those who saw it know it well
@@renlessard Well, how many folks look for movies of the past at all? Unappreciated… nah, not when they *know* the movie. But most just don't know. Wasn't Ashleigh also avoiding black and white movies for a long time? Oh, and that's not putting blame on anyone. There's *so much* out there, just so much new stuff being released all the time, who's got time for that old stuff? ;-) (on the last sentence :D)
Well then they are missing out. I would say the same to anyone who only watches TCM and ignores new releases
You absolutely know Shirley Shirley MacLaine. She played Ouiser in Steel Magnolias.
I know ! I can’t believe she didn’t catch that ! But this is glamour Shirley , so ..
@@anthonyhebisen Jeff Daniels looks like Shirley MacLaine in this film. There's a point to that ...
Shirley MacLaine, who won a Best Actress Oscar for this movie, was Ouiser Boudreaux in Steele Magnolias. Both movies were funny until they make you Big Cry.
She was wonderful in The Apartment with Jack Lemmon.
She also starred in “The Apartment,” which was also a Best Picture winner. She started out in Hitchcock’s black comedy “The Trouble with Harry” and had a memorable role in the Peter Sellers film “Being There.” Most recently, she had a small recurring role on “Downton Abbey.”
She has been one hell of an Actress for many decades!!
I loved her on "Irma La Douce" (also with Jack Lemmon)
Wheezy
No one reacts to this they are too busy with Steel Magnolias, Beaches, Fried Green Tomatoes. This is the original tear-jeaker from 1983 (when I say original I mean for modern times). The next time I cried at the movies, like this one, was Bridges of Madison County. Call your mom, just to hear her voice or say I love you... Oh and thanks for being the first to finally react to this great movie !
I sobbed with Bridges of Madison County.
It is FREAKY that nobody reacts to this. It was a huge hit, won big Oscars like Best Picture and for popular stars... it's got Nicholson, that should be enough alone. This needs explaining.
People react to what they think will get the most views. Since the majority films reacted to tend to cater mainly to a male audience, weepy dramas tend to be overlooked.
If this gets enough traction someone else will react and on and on. That’s how it works, for the ones that I follow anyway
@@richardb6260 You might be right
So many great movies that get forgotten. But there will always be someone reacting to Star Wars, LOTR and Harry Potter...nerds LOL
I’ve noticed that no one reacts to Woody Allen movies, which I guess is a bit easier to explain.
The scene in the hospital where she is saying good-bye to her kids is one of the most emotional and heartbreaking scenes I’ve ever scene. Breaks my heart every time.
When the little boy nods, I totally lose it!
For me, it’s the scene where Shirley is angry about the pain killers… I’m in floods of tears every time
It's so smart on her deathbed for her to reassure her son, so he won't be as tortured by it later - "I KNOW YOU LOVE ME!" So often when people lose a loved one, they're tortured by, "I don't know if he/she knows how much I loved them..."
She didn't want her son to realize later how much he loves & misses her, & be tortured by it.
Emma's eldest son wears plaid top while Emma wears plaid bottom. He's her.
The tough son always gets me. Emma the Mom is so impressed by her son's dedication to being a stone that she smiles at him. Then hard-boiled Garrett shows up and takes little tough guy in hand and they just go look at a swimming pool.
"An Officer and a Gentleman". Must watch. Debra Winger is fantastic in it. Louis Gossett Jr. (who just passed) won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Richard Gere can get it.
Agreed!! It's a must watch!!
That’s another movie that makes me cry
This movie was famous when it came out. The concession stands and restrooms would run out of napkins and paper towels due to all the people crying.
Saw this while in college with a bunch of macho friends. For some reason we all had some sort of allergy attack at the same time as we left the theater because we all had to battle watery eyes.
I mistakenly clicked on this after misreading the title. I thought she was reacting to the classic film masterpiece, “Terms of Enrampagement”.
"I'm in the mood for a big cry today" - well, this is certainly the movie for that
"About six hundred times" Most women will agree he has asked well enough and respond with a leg hug.
Have you completed the Debra Winger trifecta? Terms of Endearment, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Urban Cowboy? You have to see all three, they were three of the biggest movies of the time and all starred Debra Winger.
Ditto. Those 3 are a must
I would add Ivan Reitman's Legal Eagles with Robert Redford and Daryl Hannah.
@@Madbandit77 Also a good movie, but for some reason I've always thought of the other three movies as a set.
Sitting with your legs crossed is how I remember Shirley MacLaine, I had her 1989 VHS tape "Inner Workout" based on meditation and balancing your inner chakra's😮. Shirley was Weezer in "Steel Magnolias" she's one of Hollywood's best. Her brother also famous Warren Beatty look him up he's a hunk😂. A good movie to react to is 1961 "Children's Hour" with Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft, it shows people's attitudes of gays in the 60's the movie is tragic, shocking and powerful! A good movie for June Pride month. "Term or Indearment" won 5 Acadamy Awards what more can I say great movie. ❤ Your reactions 😢 Peace ✌️ and Love 😍 Gary
Another mother/daughter movie for your consideration is “Postcards from the Edge” which is based on the novel by Carrie Fisher…yes, that Carrie Fisher. The novel is based on Carrie’s life & her relationship with her mother, Debbie Reynolds. Meryl Streep plays the daughter while Shirley McLaine plays the mother. It also has Richard Dreyfuss, Gene Hackman, Rob Reiner, & Annette Benning, to name a few. J.D. Souther is in it as Ted…though he did some acting, he was mainly a songwriter/muscian/singer. He wrote songs for the Eagles did: Best of My Love, Heartache Tonight, & New Kid in Town. Also wrote songs for Linda Rondstadt & collaborated with James Taylor. There is also a reference to “The Valley of the Dolls” which was the 1st film Dreyfuss appeared in (1967 - uncredited) Oh, Liza Minnelli told Carrie the film resembled her own relationship with her famous mother, Judy Garland. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be in your library.
Great recommendation!
Yes I agree I would love to see Ashley watch Postcards from the Edge. And also has Dennis Quaid in it in a pretty big part as well.
Yes Yes YES!!! I have been wanting Ashleigh to watch that one for a while now! And speaking of Liza, I think Ashleigh would also love the original "Arthur" with Dudley Moore and Liza (with a z, not Lisa with an s :)
@@cardinal4323 yes!
I thought that was this movie and was wondering why I didn't remember it so much. 😅
I can't make any excuses for Jeff Daniels's character's behavior. But I would argue that I don't think he didn't WANT his kids, I think - as his mother-in-law told him - he recognized his weakness. He didn't think he could be the parent they needed and wanted better for the kids. It's heartbreaking, but I've known many people in that situation (my best friend was raised by his grandma for a similar reason). It's not about "doing the right thing" as a parent, it's about doing the best thing for the kids. I don't think Flap was happy about it, or relieved or anything like that. I think he just knew it was the right choice.
Totally agree. I couldn't have said it better myself.
While she loved the movie, Ashleigh just didn’t get a lot of the subtleties in the writing and performances.
@@billdouglas8701 I get that, though. She's watching the movie for the big reactions (to feed us internet beasts), which means she can't always give the due attention a film warrants. It's a double-edge sword of the UA-cam reaction thing.
As a giver of unsolicited advice, "CALL YOUR MOTHER!" Those long 3 hour conversations will be the things you miss the most about her. Sincerely, a proud, momma's boy.
I'd give anything to be able to call my mother.
My mom has pancreatic cancer and I spent all day in the hospital with her yesterday. Something as simple as a UTI can be really bad for chemo patients. I live 4 hours away from my mom and I call her everyday even if it's just to talk for 2-3 and I always make a point to tell her I love her. So yeah, call your parents. Tell them everyday that you love them.
My mother died 25 years ago and I haven't spent 5 minutes missing her. Being a momma's boy is nothing to be proud about.
This was my first Mother's Day without my mom. It's only been a few weeks.
Totally. I'd give anything to be able to call my mum again. Early 2000s I lived in Glasgow Scotland and parents in Aberdeen. Mum would always call a few times a week. Then sadly after Alzheimers and dementia took hold the calls got less frequent and then stopped. She passed in 2021. I miss those conversations so much. 😢
I've often felt that Shirley was/is your spirit actor 😂. Thought you'd recognize Shirley from Steele Magnolias, but then again she really did hide herself so well into her character (Ouiser). I hope to see more of her on yer channel. I think you'd love her in Guarding Tess.
I think she’d enjoy the comedy of The Apartment. But I feel it’s too ‘old’ for her
@@NiKiMa023 Her intro states “older classic movies,” so 1960 should be totally appropriate…but “older” and “classic” don’t usually apply to the movies here.
@@RMBittner I mean the 80s are real legit vintage at this point 😩
Then again, I think she watched and enjoyed Some Like It Hot which is about the same time frame. Other commenters mentioned The Apartment, so hopefully it catches traction and she sees it
Phenomenal Shirley had a brief scene with Dean Martin in the original Rat Pack classic, Ocean's 11 .
@@NiKiMa023 You’re right. I was just thinking of all the Marvel stuff, I guess.
FWIW, I look at “older” in these terms: Since sound movies have been around since, roughly, 1930-and it’s the very rare reactor who will feature silent films (Movies with Mia being one exception)-that gives us about 95 years of movies to choose from. But let’s say 90, for the sake of argument and easy math. I divide the timeline straight down the middle. To me, then, “older” would logically mean “older than 45 years”; newer would be within the last 45 years. But a lot of reactors call anything made before they were born “old” or, worse, it’s “old” if it was made before 2000. As if they should ignore the previous hundred years of filmmaking.
I love the part where Aurora's cleaning up the toys and she says "Help me Melanie, gorgeous isn't everything."
48:04 This extraordinary hospital scene alone could have won her the Oscar. Shirley MacLaine was amazing
Right?! Like WTH, why make her wait and suffer in pain? SMH
Her "Renoir" was the painting she referenced at the beginning. Pierre-Auguste Renoir was one of the great French Impressionist artists of the 1800's and early 1900's.
Shirley MacLaine is still with us at 90 (and her brother Warren Beatty is still with us at 87) 😮
This film is great for many reasons, but one of them is that it's a great example of Debra Winger's star quality. This was obviously her career pinnacle, with An Officer and a Gentleman coming out the year before. She continued to work for years but never achieved the kind of stardom her talent deserved.
And she still hasn't done anything for Louis Gossett Jr.
I was going to say, love Ms McLaine's performance and think she totally deserved the Oscar but Ms Winger is amazing as well. I think she was co-nominated as well. I understand they didn't always get along during the filming but I think that may have totally benefitted both their performances.
Shirley McLaine is a terrific actor. She was famous in the 50's and 60's, then made a comeback in the 80's. If you want to see her young, one of my recommendations is The Apartment with Jack Lemmon (Grumpy Old Men).
Also, Irma La Douce, What A Way To Go, and Sweet Charity
Another vote for The Apartment. Loved this reaction to Terms of Endearment.
... and dancer. Shirley MacLaine can do it all.
Rest in Peace to a legend in Hollywood, Jeannie Epper (January 27, 1941 to May 5, 2024). She was the first woman to win a lifetime achievement award for her stunt work. She doubled for Linda Carter in Wonder Woman, did the mudslide stunt for Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone, and drove on the beach in this movie with Jack Nicholson's stunt double Alan Gibbs.
Jeannie is gone?! Nooo.... I was so busy last weekend, no news. Boooooo....
@@ReneePeteYeah, remember when the news used to do actual tributes and take the time to honor people for their great contributions? Now we're lucky if we even get a soundbite on YTube on their AI generated lazy short upload!
I was laughing when your thumbnail called it “underrated,” since it won Best Picture and a number of other awards. But I get that you meant “under-appreciated by UA-cam reactors.”
"It's very real life and then it just ends" - Just like life Ashleigh.
"Shirley MacLaine ... never heard of her" made me do a spit take. So many possibilities esp back in her younger days Gambit (1966), Two Mules for Sister Sarah, Irma La Douce. Even "What a Way to Go".
She's great in Postcards from the Edge. She also gets one of the biggest laughs in the Albert Brooks movie Defending Your Life. Not to mention she's Warren Beatty's sister. Besides, Ashleigh has already seen her in Steel Magnolias.
Two Mules for Sister Sarah OMG YES!!!!!
@@xedra now that's an underrated Eastwood western. That and Hang 'Em High always get lost next to the Morricone films.
@@Dave-hb7lx Powerful movie ...
Shirley Mclaine was in Steel Magnolia which she reacted to
Just yesterday I was at the check out at the supermarket. As I joined the queue, and was about to put my groceries on the conveyer belt, the cashier looked at me and said that she might be a while. There were two young kids being served, the oldest couldn't have been more than about 12, and a younger kid about 10. A second member of staff was assisting.
I asked what the problem was, the kids had put sweets in a bag from the 'pick and mix' but didn't have enough money. The second member of staff was removing sweets from the bag, to lower the bill.
No brainer. 'It's ok, let them have them, and add it to my bill'. The kids were embarrassed enough as it was and needed this ordeal to be over as quickly as possible.
Both of these kids said 'thank you' several times each.
Not having enough money happened all the time before debit and credit cards. It was a HUGE anxiety of mine.
@@jenniferrussellstudio worst still in the US when the sales tax is added on at the checkout!
Sean, you are a wonderful human being! Good for you! Such excellent Karma will come back to you. And I mean that sincerely. But I have to ask, did you wonder at any point if you were on "What Would You Do?" the hidden camera show?
💖💜💙
@@DravenGal lol, thanks for the kind words. I think I'm aware of that show, but pretty sure they don't film in the UK.
@@SeanHendy Hmmm, probably not. But there might be a UK equivalent. Either way it's funny to watch the snippets from the show on UA-cam, because especially nowadays when they do their filming, there's almost inevitably someone who says "Where's John Quiñones?" (the host) or "This is like 'What Would You Do?'" or "This is like that hidden camera show!" Although they've really been reaching with some of their set-ups. Recently they had a couple talking about abortion, loudly, in a public place. Now, I can't speak for everyone, of course, but if I were having that discussion, it'd be at home. In private!
💖💜💙
Deborah Winger was *luminous* in this movie (as in, well, EVERYTHING). I'm glad she did what she wanted with her life, but am kinda sad we didn't get more chances to see her virtuosity.
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU Ashleigh for this wonderful reaction. Yes, it is an awesome film, written by the late great Larry McMurtry. One of my favourite writers ever. This is a classic film with a stellar cast.
Again, thanks and cheers 🍺
Nicholson won his second oscar for this movie, this time for best supporting actor. He previously won best actor for one flew over the cukooos nest in 1975
And Jack won his third for _As Good As It Gets,_ also directed by James L. Brooks
I really appreciate that Ashley saw the daughters hypocrisy about cheating. Cheating is cheating and no one has the moral high ground haha
Maybe but Flap was irresponsible and had kids at home and didn't think twice about uprooting his family just for his POA..whereas Emma (and Sam) just sought comfort
The movie starting with her being an overprotective mother thinking her baby has died in the crib and then ending with her baby actually dying…. I cannot 😭😭😭
Dammit I never thought of that and now I'm tearing up again!
Shirley MacClaine is Hollywood Royalty!! She's been a star since the 1950's, in musicals, comedies, and serious dramas. Five more of her films to see are "Sweet Charity", "The Apartment", "Postcards from the Edge", "The Children's Hour", and "What a Way to Go!". Warren Beatty is her younger brother and she just turned 90!!
Warren Beatty is Shirley MacClaine's brother !?!?! What ?!? I can't believe I didn't know this. 😊
@@juliewhite7469 indeed, he is. If you look at them knowing this now, you can see the resemblance. He dropped his last name when he started acting.
My car seat was 2 phonebooks.
Shirley played Ouiser in steel magnolias and has been a star for many decades, her brother is also Warren Beatty.
Pierre August Renoir was one of the most famous Impressionist painters. Monet was famous for his landscapes. Renoir painted portraits and no artist painted women and children so beautifully. If someone has a Renoir painting, he or she has some bucks. One of Jack Nicholson's former girlfriends said he had a Picasso in his home.
Greta Garbo had a Renoir.
Debra Winger turns 69 in three days, on my birthday. She was nominated for three Oscars, including for this role.
Happy Birthday!
@@CabinFever52 Thank you!
James L Brooks made a great movie with Jack Nicholson called As Good as It Gets. He also directed Broadcast News.
As Good as It Gets is wonderful! Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt (Twister), and Greg Kinnear are all great in it.
@@crickets7695 and May is Mental Health Awareness month. It would be perfect.
In an interview, Bette Davis was asked if there was an actress whom she thought was of her caliber, and she thought about it for a second, and then said that Debra Winger was an actor whom she thought was of her caliber, reminded her of her, did not produce another answer besides that. I do not know if there was ever a better compliment given to an actor.
Qow!
Debra Winger….Urban Cowboy and An Officer and a Gentleman”
Also the 1987 movie Black Widow, with Theresa Russell.
I miss emergency break through.. when the operator would announce how important you are that someone would request them to interrupt your phone call lol.
_Terms of Endearment_ is not underrated, at least not to those of us who saw it when it came out. Nominated for eleven Oscars in nine categories it won five: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actress - MacLaine, and Best Supporting Actor - Nicholson.
Shirley MacLaine is one of America's finest actresses. Another Best Picture winner she was in is the 1960 romantic comedy-drama _The Apartment._ Directed by Billy Wilder ( _Some Like It Hot_ ), it also stars Jack Lemmon. It won five Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Film Editing. Also, MacLaine and Lemmon were both nominated.
Billy Wilder paired Lemmon and MacLaine together again in the 1963 romantic comedy _Irma la Douce._ MacLaine again received a Best Actress nomination, and Andre Previn won for Best Original Score.
Is the sequel Evening Star(1996) good?
@@zvimurlmao
@@zvimur the sequel actually IS underrated.
@@richardb6260 thank you, will look it up.
When kids say this, it just means THEY had never heard of it and no one in their peer group has. Meaning it has not made a great transition to newer generations.
The woman who says "Patsy tells us you have cancer" - she says her husband works for Ticketron. In the 'olden days', it was what Ticketmaster is now.
I really expected a bigger reaction to "GIVE MY DAUGHTER THE SHOT!" That's like the most famous line, and gets me every time.
Now you have to check out the **SEQUEL** to Term of Endearment --- it's called "The Evening Star" ⭐ and much of the cast reprises their roles.
😮 I didn't know that was a sequel to this movie. 😅 great movie.
@@Alaskan_Two_Spirit_Wolf yup… they were going to use “Terms of Endearment 2: Two-Ply Tissues”, but they decided to be unique lol 😂
@@emjai2122 🤣
When the lights came on in the theatre I saw this film in '83, there was not a dry eye in the house. Everybody just sat in there seats and sobbed. We all filed out of there like we had just been to a funeral. Thanks you for reacting to one of the best films ever made. God Bless.
I was 12 years old when this came out, and starting to enter my 'too cool for mom' phase. Also, being an ass to my younger brother. My mom told me then that one day when she was gone I would feel guilty about things I had said and done, and not to because she knew I loved her. I didn't learn until years later that this movie must have inspired her to say that, but I am happy she did because she's no longer alive and it still means a lot.
“Hello, how are you? I sent you a blouse”
😂😂 me and my mom quote this all the time 💜 love this movie !
Shirley MacLaine is Warren Beatty's sister. She was also in Steel Magnolias that you reacted to. But my favorite of her many great films was The Apartment, in which she co-starred with a young Jack Lemmon (One of the two Grumpy Old Men).
James L. Brooks (as far as I know NOT related to Mel) is the co-creator of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, and a little-known TV program called The Simpsons. He also directed the films "Broadcast News" and "As Good As It Gets."
This and Steel Magnolias are two films my Mom had us watch one weekend. The tears just kept coming. My sister and I were so sad, Mom had to take us to Thrifty for an ice cream to make up for that.
And POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE with Meryl Street and Shirley, which get my vote for Bravest Actress In Film when Shirley appears in the hospital bed.
If she'd thrown in "Beaches" you probably would have gotten new clothes and a cat.
😄😄😄
Heck, I think Debra Winger's BLACK WIDOW (1987, with Theresa Russell as the killer) and 1981's BODY HEAT (Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, Ted Danson) should be required viewing for the MALES in the world - "See? This could happen TO YOU-!!" ha ha
Ashley's incredulous "THAT is how that ENDS?!" made me bust a huge cackle through my tears!
Same! So many moments of that with Ashleigh & All of Us with her! 😂🥹😭
I chuckled a bit when Jack said "You bring out the devil in me." cause a few short years later he played the Devil in the movie "Witches of Eastwick".
Just love the chemistry between Jack Nicholson and Shirley MacLaine! Thanks for reminding me of such a good movie!
Shirley MacLaine is epic! Singer, dancer, actor, inner-workout specialist…
You had me crying first thing on a Monday morning, over coffee. ❤😂😢😊
I have a list of movies that people never react to but they should. Terms of Endearment is at the top of that list. I'm ecstatic that Ashley is doing this because I'm too cheap to pay for patreon to request it.
As someone who has been with my mom and dad many times in the hospital to advocate for them, i relate to Shirley demanding pain meds for her daughter.
"..Starring no one I know in this moment!"
When people ask why you are one of my all time favorite reactors, hysterical lines like that are my Exhibit A. 🤣🤣
I just found out that Jeff Daniels is an incredible songwriter. He's got really good music.
This a true classic. As soon as I saw the title, I thought, oh crap, ASH is going to have a big cry.
4:12 you saw Ethel Merman in "Airplane!" in the hospital bed.
And 'It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World' as the overbearing mother/mother in law
That wasn't Ethel Merman. That was Lt. Hurwitz.

@@richardb6260 🤣🤣🤣
I remember watching the Academy Awards when Shirley won best actress and there was all that commotion about her interest in new age mysticism and past lives. I finally watched TERMS OF ENDEARMENT on VHS at home alone. Had to stop when the little brother quietly weeps at the hospital room door. Cried so hard I almost threw up.
My mom took me to see this movie when I was 12 and I wasn't interested because I thought it would be boring. It turned out to be one of my favorite movies of all time. It was my first time seeing Jack Nicholson and I became an instant fan. Every performance in this movie is so good right down to the kids.
Besides "Steel Magnolias" other great Shirley McLean movies include "The Trouble with Harry", "The Apartment" and "Sweet Charity".
The Apartment is so good! I love her in that. ❤
Wasn't Sweet charity a bomb.
@@LeighMetAs a movie musical in the late 60s it was released at the end of the movie musical era so no, it didn't do well. However it received three Oscar nominations, and Shirley McClain received a best actress Golden Globe nomination.
Just because a movie bombs at release doesn't make it a bad movie. There are a lot of movies that are great even though they failed at the box office, such as Raging Bull, it's a Wonderful Life, The Wizard of Oz, and Citizen Kane.
THE APARTMENT!! Maybe a double feature next Valentine's Day of this and Irma Le Douce. It's the Jack Lemmon/ Shirley MacLaine tag team!
Yes! Love Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry. Humorous and visually stunning. ❤
“That little kid looks like Danny from The Shining.”
I almost choked on my spit from that comment. 😂😂😂
The older son was in "Magnum Force" with Clint Eastwood. Played the son of Harry's murdered cop friend.
This movie definitely hits different with me as an adult. I’m married now with two little kids of my own. And my mom died of cancer 12 years ago. This is a very “real” story. And it makes you feel all the feels in a genuine way. Great movie.
💔 😞
This film takes on a lot more meaning when you know more about Shirley’s relationship to her real daughter. It adds layers to her performance when she plays someone’s mother.
Fabulous movie. Debra Winger was also terrific in it and she was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role alongside Shirley MacLaine, but MacLaine ended up winning the award.
There’s a sequel “The Evening Star” it was a box office bomb but in recent years, it’s kind of gained a cult following. Juliette Lewis plays Emma’s daughter Melanie and Shirley MacLaine reprises her role as Aurora.
Evening Star was just McMurty's way to end Aurora's story, the same way Streets of Laredo was to give Call a proper send-off.
I've never cared what critics say, I think "Evening Star" was a worthy follow up to Terms of Endearment. I quite enjoy the movie.
See? Now that's what I consider underrated.
It also brings back Jack Nicholson and brings in Bill Paxton RIP as well as Scott Wolf. The movie was 13 years later in 1996.
I always enjoyed “The Evening Star”. I think it’s definitely worth a reaction
lol. Ashleigh’s “well…. I guess we need to talk about it”. 😆
Culture gave Shirley grief a long while after her ‘Out on a Limb’ book & movie were released but that lady can act. The ‘Virginia’ upbringing came out in this one. BTW, her best comedic role in our house’s opinion is “Guarding Tess (1994)” with Nick Cage. Mildly dark humor but fun.
Oh I love that one too! I love how she goes toe to toe with Nick Cage!
Oh, I love "Guarding Tess" - fantastic suggestion.
All the performances in this film are outstanding. But the most memorable scene and performance to me is the younger son saying goodbye to his mom. Truly heartbreaking.
A truly great movie. Not underrated just under appreciated. Try As Good as it gets, next..
This was one of my mothers favorite movies. Covid took her almost four years ago. I really miss my mother and to anyone who still has their mothers spend more time with them as much as you can. Thank you for your reaction.
I am sorry for youf loss of your mother. It's the worst.
Sincerest condolences on your loss. I’m sure your mom loved you very much. 🙏🏾🕊️
Another great Debra Winger film is Cannery Row, also with Nick Nolte. (1982)
“You can’t rush Aurora!” So funny😂
Shirley MacLaine: Steel Magnolias, Being There, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Sweet Charity, Gambit, The Children's Hour, The Apartment, The Trouble with Harry.
When a few days ago you mentioned you're watching Terms of Endearment I thought 'Whew, she's got an experience comin'.
"I like to look at Jeff Daniels" Same girl, same.
I feel that way about William Hurt❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To my knowledge James L. Brooks isn't related to Mel Brooks. He has created, written, and/or produced numerous TV shows, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant, Rhoda, Taxi, and The Simpsons. He also produced the films Big, Jerry McGuire, and exec produced Say Anything.
I’m really glad that you made room for this one, Ashleigh. There are so many movies that are well worth seeing and reacting to that nobody (or almost nobody) reacts to on UA-cam, and a lot of them are from the last century but weren’t necessarily big blockbusters or genre films that appealed mostly to teenagers or young adults. Some of them were just very good dramas that touched the heart and illuminated the human condition, and don’t often get talked about by the usual film enthusiasts of today. Some do, but they usually get drowned out by talk about the franchises or the big moneymakers or the cult hits. But movies like this were often the backbone of the film industry for many years, and would get noticed by critics and at awards time, but the general public zeitgeist usually just takes them for granted. So it’s nice to see you shedding a little light on movies like this.
Robin Williams, John Lithgow and Glenn Close. The World According To Garp. Half bust a gut laughing and half very serious and emotional.
Pierre-Auguste Renior (Ren wah) is a very famous painter from 1841-1919 he's an early impressionist a good friend of Claude Monet (Mo-nea, another famous impressionist). Renior has paintings sell for over 3/4 of a million dollars, so the painting the mother owns is worth quite a lot.
Larry McMurtry also wrote the novels The Last Picture show, which was made into a movie in the early '70s with Jeff Bridges and others; its sequel Texasville, some 20 years later, which was also made into a movie with Jeff Bridges and the same director; Lonesome Dove, which was made into a miniseries with Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, and Angelica Huston; He also wrote the sequel to this, Evening Star.
Lonesome Dove is the best thing ever filmed in my opinion.
Larry McMurtry also cowrote the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain.
9:35 it's like Jeff Daniels made this movie when he was so much younger that explains why he looks so young
This was such a BIG movie when it came out in1983. My favorite movie with Shirley MacLaine is The Apartment.. Still watch it every New Years.
For my 20th birthday (11/63), my sister took me out for dinner and a movie. This was the movie (dinner was Emil Villa’s, since you were wondering). It solidified my “meh” feelings about Jeff Daniels (don’t fret; I’ve come to appreciate him), and of course, I balled like a baby! It was funny, snarky, sweet, sad - all the things.
First off, BIG HUG for watching this movie!! Anytime I need a good cry, I put on this, or Steel Magnolias. And yes, baby car seats were an afterthought in the early 80s! Great reaction and thank you for watching this incredible movie.
I love the idea of you and Blake hugging each other like Aurora and Garrett just grabbing each other's booty. That's hilarious and you definitely should.
This movie always makes me cry at the end. I lost my mom when I was 16. So I always cry for the kids. I know it is a sequel call Evening Star. But I never watched it.
And to reference some of the things for the past in this movie. The Burger King restaurant use to look like that before they remodeled in the 90’s. And if you called someone on a Rotary phone. And it was busy the operator could do an emergency interruption. (I feel really old knowing this stuff)And the baby had croup. People usually run a steamy shower to help the baby.
So I heard Roger Corman passed away last night. Roger Corman was a legendary filmmaker, king of the B-movies, and launched so many careers. So yeah, definitely, I gotta recommend a movie to honor his passing. There are honestly so many horror movies I could choose from, but I think it really comes down to one choice: One of his Edgar Allan Poe movies. His Edgar Allan Poe are celebrated and regarded as some of Roger Corman's best work, and for good reason. Roger Corman tried his best to adapt the Poe stories while also being original and paying tribute to Poe. They're gothic movies dripping with atmosphere. If I had to suggest any of them, I would recommend either the 1960 movie House of Usher or the 1964 movie The Masque of the Red Death, if that's OKay? Those are the two best of the Edgar Allan Poe series. It'd be another reason to react to them. I think it'd make for a fun reaction 🙂
I think he gave Jack Nicholson and James Cameron his start along with many others.
@@THOMMGB Yup. He started the careers of many people like Jack Nicholson, James Cameron, Ron Howard, Joe Dante, Dick Miller, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. Amongst many others.
Of the films Corman personally rejected, I think X, The Man With the X-Ray Eyes is one of his best. Of his Poe films, The Raven is fun. It would give Ashleigh a change to see Price, Lorre, and Karloff together as well as a young Jack Nicholson.
@@THOMMGB Coppola, Ron Howard, Peter Bogdanovich, and Joe Dante all directed their first films for Corman. Scorsese directed his second film for Corman. James Cameron's first film wasn't for Corman. But he did work as an FX artist for Cameron.
Either Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson in a minor role or Grand Theft Auto.
Oppie Cunningham directed it. He complained about Corman not hiring enough actors. Corman told him, if you do a good job you will never have to work for me again.
Ron Howard plays a poor boy in love with a rich girl. Her father doesn't approve. She has steal a car. Then either the mother or father steals a car to chase them.
After a cop has his squad car stolen he commandeers a bus load of seniors. ( if my memory is right) and those are just a few of the stolen cars...
We're sick people. We love watching you bawl and cuss us out because of it. 🤣🤣
I applaud you Ashleigh for being authentic. Your emotional reaction was so real. Most YT reactions seem phony or bewildered,😂
Woooo... idk if I'll make it through this reaction. The first time I saw this movie I cried so hard that my dad put my mom on the phone immediately. As soon as I told her what I'd watched she said "aw baby" and talked to me til I calmed down. When my mom passed 3 years ago, I couldn't help but think of this movie and how precious the relationship between mother and daughter is. I miss her everyday.
Shirley MacLaine is one of my favourite actresses ever. Her character, Ouiser in Steel Magnolias, is not 100 miles from her character in this.
Ethel Merman, singer of that song, you saw in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. I know you try to forget that, but she was the annoying mother-in-law. What a voice!
46:58 TICKETRON - the Ticketmaster back in the day, before Ticketmaster acquired it.
I have been waiting for someone to react to this movie. I watched it 2 decades ago as a teenager and it still makes me cry.
Since you like Jack Nicholson you really need to see the movie he did with Meryl Streep called “Heartburn”. It’s one of my favorites!! Jeff Daniels is in it too lol.
Excellent film!!!!
@@NeptuneLady1957 Right? It’s so underrated too, like 2 of the biggest stars and no one seems to remember it.
When I first started watching your channel I would get excited for a new Marvel movie reaction.
When I saw the title of this reaction, I said out loud: "Oh SHIT!"
I can't wait to see you turn into a puddle of tears 😭
ASHLEIGH!!!! Shirley(Aurora)is Ouiser from "Steel Magnolias"
YAAAY!!! I'm so happy that you're doing this film! I sent you this DVD a couple of years ago, along with The Goodbye Girl, Working Girl, and a couple of Bette Midler comedies -- excited for you to visit those sometime, too. 😊 Thank you! ❤
I hope she soon discovers Neil Simon and reacts to "The Goodbye Girl"! She will LOVE IT!
Outrageous Fortune and Big Business
@@juliell2139 Those two films were on replay in my home, growing up. We had those two Bette Midler films on VHS and my family loved couldn't get enough. It's been a long time, but I remember Outrageous Fortune to be the better of the two, although both are quite funny.
Yes, Outrageous Fortune was a favorite. @@macc.1132
Those are the ones! @@juliell2139
