- Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.

Back in those days, Pan Am was “the” prestigious airline of its time. If you were a Pan Am pilot, you were a god. Even being a stewardess for the airline was the next best thing to being an actress.
how the mighty have fallen deregulation was the beginning of the end of flying as an enjoyable experience
@@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd something my generation probably never got to experience, now it’s become a rat race just to get where your going unless you’re willing to pay $$$ to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.
@@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd yeah, I remember chatting with my neighbour about how far Qantas has fallen as Australia’s flag carrier and she said the airline industry probably shouldn’t have been deregulated as heavily as it was (until the 80’s Qantas had a monopoly on international flights to and from Australia with Ansett having the domestic monopoly).
Christopher Walken should have won the Oscar, his performance was amazing.
The man is a God amongst us people.
Yeah, it was this movie that made me really see Walken’s range of talent. Too bad he sold his soul.
"Two MICE fell in to a bucket a cream." A buddy of mine and I have said that line in our best Walken impression to each other for 20 years.
ok I'm having that
I read the book written by Abalene of the true story-the shocking thing is how real the film is. Most of it is real!
@@elcorado83 Yeah, it is. I've seen documentaries and interviews with him.
@@elcorado83 The problem is that it's real according to Abagnale, and mostly only Abagnale. Aside from what put him in prison and the fact that he later worked with the FBI, not much else has been corroborated about his claims. His stories about playing doctor and passing the bar have never been proven.
My friend and I did the same thing. He swam so hard he churned that cream into butter.
The real Frank Abagnale Jr appears in the film when his film counterpart is arrested... the lead detective speaking French and taking Leo away
Cool
It's also important to note that the real life Frank Abagnale Jr. is *probably* not a reliable narrator of his life stories, as there is basically no corroboration on the vast majority of the events he claimed to have occurred. The FBI has many people that throughout the years basically flat out denied the events, and there are actual records in a lot of places that prove that Frank was not even at the places he claimed to be. The real life Frank Abagnale Jr. is likely only a small time con who actually turned big by conning the media and Hollywood by selling them pure fiction.
It was proven that the real Frank's story is totally fake and Frank is a phony .@@zxbc1
As much as you are supposed to dislike what he's doing you just sit in awe of his progression as a criminal and to it at such a young age. It's quite remarkable.
Except it's all fiction the only basis of truth is that the guy who made it all up was a fraudster which includes making up the story, just not nearly as good as he claims. It's been proven he didn't do half the shit the says he did and got caught continuously.
@@drafezard7315 And? Did I say anything about it being factual? I'm talking about the movie itself
@@christinadoxstader3004 Don't get tied up. It's funny to see how a conman conned a movie about a conman.
I was not in awe... He deserved to die.
still one of the best movies ever made. immensely rewatchable.
If there is one thing I've learned watching you both watching all these films is that your wife would make a great investigator.
More than once Samantha spotted clues the first time, and I watched every movie a dozen times! 😂
This film caught me by surprise. So dramatic, so touching and heartbreaking. Really good film. I watched it over after i had randomly discovered it. Good reaction, glad ya'll enjoyed it.
I watched this in a theater in Atlanta less than a mile from the apartment complex that Frank was living in. When the name flashed on the screen, about a dozen people were like, "Hey, that's our place!" Apparently it was a very swinging place in the 60s and 70s. They changed the name recently though.
He never actually lived there. He was in jail in NY at the time.
Frank abignale was a very real man. His exploits taught me that a guy can get into the most incredible places with nothing but a clipboard and attitude. It's true.
This doest work for everyone
Other than he later admitted he made it all up. A con man through and through. So that makes two Con Men, that Leo has played...
@@spddracer
Yeah, but there's a problem with that. The FBI has an extensive file on him and there's plenty of evidence from the airlines and the banks that showed he did all of it. Plus, if he was lying about the whole thing, they wouldn't have put him in prison or gave him a job as a consultant for the newly formed forgery division at the FBI.
The public record proves you wrong.
He didn’t really make it all up, he just let his cowriter run wild with his autobiography and didn’t really care. But I would agree that makes Frank still a somewhat sketchy guy.
@@willheil7591 There is almost 0 evidence of any of his exploits.
If you notice the way Spielberg shoots the scene where he is arrested and he’s looking out the back window of the car, you will see that same exact scene at the end of Schindler’s List with Liam Neeson, in Munich with Eric Bana.
I can't believe this movie is 21 years old.
Bro, Samantha is so observant. She catches so many details in these flicks so quickly.
Yes she is very clever and observant
She watch the movie before
@@lexkanyima2195 No, she had never seen before.
@@jonrmartin what ?
@@lexkanyima2195 At 1:05 they discuss that Sam hasn't seen the movie, and makes guesses about what type of movie it is. Where did you get the idea that she had?
This movie is great and IMO vastly undervalued. I put it up there with movie's that take a concept and perfect it.
It's pitch perfect. Fun. Well paced. Funny, sad. Good charcters. Great actors.
Perfect script.
Underrated movie - I used to work at a cinema complex and this movie seemed to have quite a low key marketing campaign (compared to other films of the time). By pure word of mouth and reviews, HEAPS of people saw this at the cinemas.
And I almost forgot how many well-known actors have come and gone through this movie!
It’s definitely a smaller scale film, particularly from Spielberg who has done some big productions and had done Saving Private Ryan four years earlier, but it’s probably the reason why I love it!! It feels like a more intimate and personal film from Spielberg who has often looked at families and relationships in his films!
I re-watched this recently and had forgotten how good it was.
It’s such a great little film from Spielberg and much more smaller scale and intimate.
"pancakes are great" never a truer word said 🤣
I thought I was the only one who caught that!! 🥞🔥🤣
Fun Fact: Frank Abignale was from my hometown of New Rochelle, New York! 😂💪
Nothing fun about this...
I saw this on Christmas Day the year it came out. It was a lot of fun in a theater with a fairly packed house.
Can't watch this reaction because this film is still on my "Must see" list for, well, I guess it's 20 years now. One of a handful of Spielberg movies I've never seen.
I love the opening credits to this. Great visuals...and tremendous music from John Williams. It's a joy.
They’re kind of a homage to those Saul Bass titles of the 1960s.
"I concur. Do you concur?" Still use this line frequently in my everyday speak.
Leo has put in so much work over the years, if he's in something, chances are is going to be a great movie.
Love this movie! So glad y'all enjoyed it as well. ♥
Perhaps Frank’s greatest con was his book, upon which the movie was based. Apparently, most of his stories never happened.
Ace film from the day
Gone Girl in a close second. A must watch. Such a twisted movie. Won't say more. No spoilers!
Coming soon!
@@socalemeraldaztecanrhino922 That's your idea of "no spoilers"??
That movie makes me glad to be single.
Can't wait. Gone Girl grew on me. I didn't like it that much upon first watch and there is a pretty lame performance in it, I don't like. But not by the two leads. They were MAGNIFICENT.
@@TBRSchmitt - You should also watch 'Matchstick Men.'
Frank Abagnale was on The Johnny Carson Show (available here) and told some of these stories in his own words, and it's just as entertaining as the movie. Also see his lecture about how to avoid identity theft.
It's also important to note that the real life Frank Abagnale Jr. is probably not a reliable narrator of his life stories, as there is basically no corroboration on the vast majority of the events he claimed to have occurred. The FBI has many people that throughout the years basically flat out denied the events, and there are actual records in a lot of places that prove that Frank was not even at the places he claimed to be. The real life Frank Abagnale Jr. is likely only a small time con who actually turned big by conning the media and Hollywood by selling them pure fiction
His entire story , is all fake .He was just a petty thief , so never a pilot, doctor or lawyer .
This was my #1 movie of 2002. I love it.
Yea, pretty good.
I work at Canadian navel base Esquimalt. A couple of year ago I attended a retirement seminar at a training bldg. named after a Canadian Admiral. During the Korean War he had been the navigating officer on board a Canadian destroyer, HMCS Cayuga. Just before they deployed another crew member joined the ship, a doctor. Because destroyers don’t normally get their own doctor, nobody questioned it.
He wasn’t a doctor, however, or even a Naval Officer, he was an imposter named Ferdinand Demara.
While onboard, he managed to improvise successful major surgeries and fend off infection with generous amounts of penicillin. His most notable surgical practices were performed on some sixteen Korean combat injuries who were loaded onto the Cayuga. All eyes turned to Demara, the only "surgeon" on board, as it became obvious that several of the injured soldiers would require major surgery or certainly die. After ordering personnel to transport these variously injured patients into the ship's operating room and prep them for surgery, Demara disappeared to his room with a textbook on general surgery and proceeded to speed-read the various surgeries he was now forced to perform, including major chest surgery. None of the soldiers died as a result of Demara's surgeries. Apparently, the removal of a bullet from a wounded man ended up in Canadian newspapers. One person reading the reports was the mother of the real Joseph Cyr; her son at the time of "his" service in Korea was actually practising medicine in Grand Falls, New Brunswick.
Tony Curtis, father of Jamie Lee Curtis, played him in the movie, The Great Imposter.
Frank's story is all fake .Alan C Logan investigated Frank and Frank was never a pretend pilot, doctor or lawyer .
The bar exam in Louisiana is one of, if not THE hardest in the nation. So Frank saying he just crammed and winged it is seriously impressive.
Or he never passed it
Yes, a lot of strange Napoleonic code parts in Louisiana that must be known.
I took it, it was pretty easy test.
Or he took it, and was "groomed" by his father-in-law to pass it with the good-ole boys.
I thought it was Georgia.
this movie really shaped me growing up, i conned so much in my teen years, got F's turned into A's, free food, free trips, free what ever really. 20's my job was hustling cards and pool. wasn't until my late 20's that i really grew out of it and joined the military. now that i'm retired it's always there telling me to just go for it, get the adventure and excitement back.
Glad you guys enjoyed this. Could be one of my favorite Spielberg films. The cinematography, the pacing, the acting, the cast, the score, it’s just a perfect film in so many ways. Every time it’s on TV, I have to watch it 😊
17:48 To be fair, this would have been the 60s; even if comic book characters were as widely known as they are now, Barry Allen had only recently become the Flash at the time. If he'd said "Jay Garrick", it might have been a different story
From researching, I don’t believe it’s a true story. He made it all up. He was on Johnny Carson telling his story. Memorized. It’s ok, it’s a great story and awesome movie! Leo is wonderful!
Regardless of how much of his book is true and how much is made up, Frank Abagnale Jr. inspired this great movie. He turns 75 next week.
Quite a bit of it is true. Definitely enough to carry the movie.
The more I see of other reactors, the more I like the way you guys do this. You don't comment over all of the dialogue, you react, and save the commentary for afterward. Keep it up!
lol Turns out Abignale was lying about his lies!
well put!
Wonderful movie. I know dicaprio gets all the plaudits but hanks was incredible too
Holy Schmitt! You have to do every movie on the poll! JFK and Amadeus especially!
Would love a JFK reaction
And Chinatown
Amadeus is a must.
Or Philadelphia
There were 3 times where Carl realizes just how smart Frank really is:
1. When Frank gets around him in the hotel room as Barry Allen
2. When Frank points out it’s the teller who printed the date on the check
3. When Frank tells Carl he studied for two weeks and passed the bar.
It gets me everytime when Frank goes to the airport to go back for Brenda and sees that something’s off…. Can’t blame the girl
This is actually very common for 'computer hackers' that got into trouble, they go into computer security jobs.
Tom Hanks is an amazing actor too. You guys should watch Road to Perdition if you haven't already seen it.
They already watched Road to Perdition a few months ago.
Apparently, according to Sam Mendes in the comments of that movie, that Hanks can sweat on cue.
@@kojiattwood Now that's amazing
They already have a reaction to Road to Perdition
@Channel 55 and box of tissues They need to watch Big, Castaway, and Joe vs the Volcano! :)
An excellent movie :) And I've always loved the Knock Knock joke! :D
I love the John Williams score.
- “PRISONERS” - (2013) Take my word for it!! 🔥
"I've made a stupid mistake." "Just eating ice cream?" Just how it was juxtaposed just kind of made me chuckle a bit.
Even Guarnere from Band of Brothers was in this movie. Great cast. Great movie.
10:33 it makes for a great shot but the scene with the bathtub full of PanAm Boeing 707s doesn't really make any sense. Those are all model kits, why would he build, paint and apply decals to the models only to soak and remove them again when he could have just taken the PanAm emblems straight off the decal sheet? lol
There are interviews with the real Frank Abagnale on UA-cam. Fascinating guy.
Great job, as usual!
Unfortunately a lot of the stuff he claimed he has done turned out to be fake. So maybe not that fascinating after all.
@@Sandstroem1981 Yep. He was a small time con who cashed some fake checks, not even close to the amount he claimed to have done, and got caught. There's very little evidence for any of the events in this movie or his biography, and plenty of contrary evidence and records proving that he wasn't at these places during the time he claimed to be. His biggest con is probably selling his fake stories to Hollywood and Steven Spielberg.
I love this movie. Amazing cast. great reaction, glad you both enjoyed it as much as i did
Inside Man with Denzel Washington is a fun one to watch if you haven’t already. Or a Sigourney Weaver film called Copycat, haven’t watched it in a while but enjoyed it a lot.
Both are absolutely worth the watch
Copycat is GREAT! They watched Primal Fear, and Copycat has those vibes.
always loved sigourney is that the one where she's being stalked by serial killer
@@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd it is, maybe it hasn’t aged well (watched it years ago now) but remember enjoying it a lot
Oh man have not seen in a while! One of those movies have to rewatch solo first!
i always feel so comfortable watching you guys watch movies .. it's super cool ❤️
18:50 Leo and Amy were both 28 at the movie's release date of 2002.
Oh wow legit didn’t know that!
At least Amy got her big break a couple of years later and did some excellent films like The Fighter and Arrival, she was great in this though and it would have been a big boost to have co-starred with Leo even though it wasn’t till a couple of years later she came into her own as a performer!
A Doctor, a Lawyer, and a Pilot. You forgot that he was, briefly, a member of Her Majesty's Secret Service.
The key moment in the story was actually when he tried his first impersonation as a school teacher. That's when Frank Jr realized he had the power to psychologically CONTROL people and that he could pull off the mind game for much longer than he thought. It took the school a WEEK to catch onto the fact that a boy with no credentials had been teaching classes! There is a great sub-plot in the movie "Teachers" where a school needs a substitute teacher and accidentally dials the number of a MENTAL HOSPITAL where a patient roaming the halls answers the phone and agrees to take the job, shows up at the school and teaches American History more effectively than most "sane" people for a complete day before he is caught.
21:28 great dad
You know your a badass when you have just outsmarted the FBI for years, and they just give up and hire you.....
except it never happened.
If you like detective movies, I recommed "cast a deadly spell" . It present 1948 Los Angeles with a brand new perspective . And it was starring Frederick Ward, aka Earl from Tremors 1&2 .
Yes! I love that movie, but it never gets any love.
My Mom worked for our local county as an accountant, and used to go to yearly continual learning government finance seminars. One year in the mid-2000's, Frank Abagnale gave the keynote address.
Alan C Logan investigated Frank and Frank's story is all fake .
Love this film, DiCaprio, Hanks & Walken 👌 There’s a great interview with Frank Abagnale on the Johnny Carson Show 👍
I was given Frank’s book to read before I watched the movie and I loved it. The movie takes some definite liberties with the story in the book, but since Frank spent his life creating deceptions I never really knew which different aspect was true (or whether any of them were truly what happened).
Still, the movie was good too, just different.
I love this film, thanks.
Many themes in Spielberg’s films examine the relationship between father and son because of Spielberg’s difficult relationship with his own father. This film obviously hits on that between Frank Sr. and Jr., but also the growing and almost loving relationship between Frank and Carl. By the end of the movie you can see how much Carl really cares for Frank, almost like he’s his own son.
one little detail i love and shows carl's nervousness of trying to catch frank in that hotel is when he shows his badge to the cleaning lady, he shows her the wrong side.
Most FBI agents know that people really DON'T look very closely at a badge. I think that's the point. You could literally make a badge that says your name is Mickey Mouse and most people would accept it.
@@davestang5454...i really think its just because he was nervous and showed her the wrong side for comedic effect.
Brilliant film, I would love to have this much confidence, at any time in my life lol.
been waiting for this movie to get a reaction, I've always liked it!
this made my day such a great film that more people should watch
My grandmother used to tell us that if act like you belong somewhere (when you don't) you will be ignored. That's why they are called confidence (con) artists.
granny got it right
"Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse drowned. Before he died, he gave the second mouse this gold watch. The second mouse... hid... this uncomfortable hunk of metal up his ass for two years. Then he was sent home to his family. And now, little Frank, I give this watch to you."
Liked this movie a ton. Surprised it beat Gran Torino though.
Most people (not me) prefer happy endings. I LOVE Clint, but his movies almost always seem to end on a shit note. Even I gotta admit that. Million Dollar Baby was probably my least favorite despite all the love from critics. Saw it in the theater and never will again.
Gran Torino is so, SO overrated. People like to say they like it just because it deals with race. But there is nothing original about it at all. It’s a TV movie of the week.
Great Reaction,as usual.I thought I had already Subscribed but I,defintely,have now.
At 69 in London,I am not a Film buff and have never seen Leo or Tom act(I know) but,like the rest of the cast and with SS directing,this was fantastic and though I have seen this film,at a friend's house,I still shed a tear when Frank comes back @ 10.10am....
The white-haired gentleman in the flat cap at 32:06 is the real Frank William Abagnale Jr. It's blurred in the video for copyright reasons, but that's him.
Loved this film at the theater. It reminded me of a Tony Curtis film, loosely based on the life and exploits of Ferdinand Demara; The Great Imposter (Universal I.P., 1961).
I love the cut of Carl staring at the clock after he let’s Frank fly 😂
Great reaction! Thanks.
He could have bought a yacht and been as free as a goose lmao.
The show they were watching was Sing Along With Mitch with Mitch Miller.
Hi guys ❤ ooooohhhh whats going with sopranos im losing it over here 😂😂❤🌷
Oh, wow. _Chinatown_ was in your poll. I don't care if it lost - you have to see it. Let me tell you how good it is: it is among the four or five best screenplays ever written (seriously). Just that. Miss it and it's _your_ loss.
This could only have happened pre-internet. What a difference between this and nowadays!
Any body that gets the opportunity should read the book. Particularly the part about his stay in foreign prisons. Makes US prisons seem like The Hilton.
32:39 Train: "*movie title*"
This is pretty much a perfect film.
Christopher Walken reminds me of my dad.
Frank John Hughes is the guy in Band Of Brothers portrayed StSgt.William Guarnere..
Leo is already Leo since"whats eating gilbert grapes?.
Great movie.
If he passed the Louisiana Bar, then he is, in fact, a lawyer. That is all that is needed.
You do not know? Alan C Logan investigated Frank was in jail all during his teens , so never a pretend pilot , doctor or lawyer .
This is such a classic. Abagnale pulling it all off like that before 21 is something all right. And he knew his limitations, backing off when people's lives could become imperiled. Also like how the real Frank makes a cameo, ironically arresting himself in France.
Except it all turned out to be fake.
Except the real Frank is nothing like what's depicted in the movie the only thing based on reality is that he's a con artists through and through which including coning people about his exploits.
One of Spielberg's more underrated films along with Munich (check that out for SURE).
This movie is one of my all-time favorites! You guys seemed to enjoy it a lot too, so I'd like to recommend you a show. White Collar, a USA original, is a show that's kind of like the part of CMIYC we didn't get to see, the adventures of Frank and Hatternaty catching other criminals together. Different characters, but a very similar dynamic, filled with clever capers and tons of charm! I highly recommend it!
Awesome, awesome, awsome movie. Glad you worked out the copyright issues so quickly. And Samantha never disappoints when she's in the clean up mode.
For the fans of this type of storyline/character dynamic, I sincerely recommend the TV series 'White Collar'.
I feel like they don’t make fun movies like this anymore.
“The Beach” another great Leo movie around the 2001 era 🎥
I saw this headline, presusumed TBR had probably already seen it, and knew instinctively that Samantha would love it. Fantastic job, guys!
For me the best part was when he saw a news article in the papers about him. I'm old enough to remember reading that article.
16:01 "I think you're going to get more than that." 🤣🤣🤣
