React to "LEAN ON ME"....you won't be disappointed 💯
Awesome movie
Gotta put Dogma on the list. The list of stars is long and you'll love!!
If your a reader you should read the book. Author is Fannie Flagg: Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Because this movie was made in the 80/90’s the movie had to be queer coded in order to be a commercial success. Queer coding was huge back then. The Color Purple and Fried Green Tomatoes being huge examples of this. Watch the Celluloid Closet for the history of queer representation in movies. They are in a lesbian relationship and this is a lesbian movie/story. In the book their relationship isn’t a question or implied, they are partners. This movie meant a lot to us queer folk back in the day.
Spiritdancer36-With FRIED GREEN TOMATOES, it was extremely frustrating being a lesbian & seeing the hinting that Idgie & Ruth were together, having read the book. I don't know if you have read the book or seen the movie TELL IT TO THE BEES. Anna Paquin is in the movie. Book & movie are night & day. I loved the book. I was disappointed with the movie. I did see that documentary THE CELLULOID CLOSET. it was quite interesting. Anyway, I liked what you said, & without reading your comment 1st actually mentioned something similar.🙂
Such a pity the lesbian relation couldn't be better represented; sealed by a/some kisse(s).
I belief one of the or perhaps the first lesbian movie that did make it to the mainstream cinema was Desert Hearts ? Also a beatiful movie and worth to watch.
Regards from the Netherlands!
@@FredtheFrisian, Desert Hearts was also the 1st lesbian movie I'd ever seen. It is a wonderful movie & definitely worth a watch. It was made in the mid 80's I believe, but not sure if it made it to all theaters, or if it just went to select theaters. The book of the same name is also a good read although it's somewhat different from the movie. I believe the author is Jane Rule, anyway the movie shows what book it's adapted from & author in the opening credits.
I've seen Desert Hearts and loved it! I'm bi.
Idk how many times I've read the book. It's amazing. I always recommend it to people who love the movie.
One of my favorite things about this movie is that at the start, a lot of people probably assume that the story in the past is going to be the whole movie, and Evelyn is just a simple plot device for us to hear it. But instead it keeps going back to her and letting us see how the story increases her pride and confidence. And of course this is especially gratifying for being Kathy Bates' immediate next role after her Oscar win for Misery, showing a completely different kind of character done just as well.
It was pretty great that it was two full stories, either which could have been a full film.
My wife and I adore this movie. For the last 20 years together we'd playfully quote: "If I was gonna kill ya, I'd use my hands." 💛
My husband and I do too!
I can’t believe this wasn’t said…
The bee scene was supposed to be done with a stunt double from long angles, but at the last minute the stunt double backed out. No other doubles were available. Director looked at Mary Stuart Masterson and asked if she thought she could do it, and MSM rose to the challenge!!
Also, this movie was the first to feature 2 back-to-back Best Actress Oscar Winners with Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy) and Kathy Bates (Misery).
I love that!
@@OGBReacts Hope you react to Driving Miss Daisy
The legendary Cicely Tyson was the black lady in this movie. She is a big hollywood name of yesteryear movies. She's the female Sidney Poitier. And she still looked amazing until she passed away at 96yrs old last year.
The woman leading the first ladies workshop about romance is Fannie Flagg, the author of the book, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. In the book it is clearer that the women became a couple.
A complete masterpiece! As a man, I used to get made fun of for loving this film but I don’t care. One of my favorites. Hits all the emotions
I love this! I got so much more respect for this older Southern man when he admitted how much he liked Anne of Green Gables (80s Megan Follows version of course, lol)
My husband loves this movie too! He doesn't care what other men think. It's a wonderful perfect movie.
"Face it girls. I'm older and I have more insurance." ...is a phrase we have used in my household since that movie came out. I love this movie, but honey you GOTTA read the book!!!
FUN FACT: In the novel Ruth & Idgie were lovers. Their relationship was an open secret. Everyone in town knew about them but didn't care that they were couple
From the book:
After supper, Ruth went into the parlor with Momma and Poppa and closed the door. She sat across from them with her hands in her lap, and began, “I don’t have any money, I really don’t have anything but my clothes. But I can work. I want you both to know that I’ll never leave again. I should never have left her four years ago, I know that now. But I’m going to try and make it up to her and never hurt her again. You have my word on that.”Poppa, who was embarrassed at any sort of sentiment, shifted in his chair. “Well, I hope you’re aware of what you’re in for. Idgie’s a handful, you know.” Momma shushed him. “Oh Poppa, Ruth knows that. Don’t you, dear? It’s just that she has a wild streak…Sipsey says it’s because I ate wild game when I was carrying Idgie. Remember, Poppa, you and the boys brought home some quail and wild turkeys that year?” “Mother, you have eaten wild game every year of your life.” “Well, that’s true, too. Anyhow, that’s beside the point. Poppa and I just want you to know that we think of you as one of the family now, and we couldn’t be happier for our little girl to have such a sweet companion as you.”
It’s hard to fathom that sort of acceptance today.
@@jeffking887 Or then. Especially then.
@@himwhoisnottobenamed5427 that’s what I’ve always wondered about. It was before my time but my mother in law who grew up in a similar small town in Texas and who actually introduced me to the book said that wouldn’t have been so unusual. She spoke of single women she knew who lived together. She was too young to question why but they were as much a part of the community as anyone else. That doesn’t mean they were a couple of course. But no one felt any need to question them either. I wonder (I certainly don’t know) if folks where more committed to the idea of personal privacy then. At least as extended to other white folks. I admit my rose colored perspective falls apart when the race question comes up.
In the book Ninny is not Iggie, but the movie was done as to heavily imply they are the same person.
In some ways, I see why they did it, but at the same time, it added to the idea that Iggie was not a strong lesbian woman and jumped into a straight relationship first chance she had.
She even says "i married her (Idgie's)brother Cleo"
people forget that she said at the beggining when she met Evelyn that she married Idgie's brother, she's her sister in law. Even if they watched it 3 times they don't understand 😂
@@vapoet Yeah and Ninny in her little flowery dresses and nightgowns... absolutely nothing wrong with that, but would Idgie wear that ever?
You should try fried green tomatoes. They’re delicious! It’s not like biting into a raw tomato.
As I child, these subtle gay relationships went straight, no pun, over my head. I just thought that this is what strong female friendships looked like. I like this type of representation because it’s very sweet, even though it excludes a major component of a romantic relationship. It just has a purity to it.
Want more tears from Sam? Let's get her to watch Beaches.
I've seen almost zero reviewers watch that movie and react.
When asked about her inspiration to write Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, author Fannie Flagg said, "After my parents died, I went home and rode around Irondale and saw that the old café was falling down, and it broke my heart. I wanted to bring that café back to life and put people back in it. That might be why I wrote it."
One of my favorite childhood movies. "Secret's in the sauce."
My cousins ex hit her and didn't know I was right behind him, I broke his arm and his nose...men who hit women are nothing but cowards
GOOD FOR YOU HELL YES!!!!
Yeah the sexual relationship between Idgy and Ruth was a lot more explicit in the book. Kind of like in the color purple (the book) the sexual relationship between Shug and Celie. Alice Walker was actually upset at Steven Spielberg for shying away from it in the movie. But Steven Spielberg said he didn’t feel like he was the right one to tell that story. Which is kind of weird because he felt comfortable telling the story of the color purple and he wasn’t black? But ultimately Alice walker felt that it was not the worst decision because it became more about the innocence of love. And that in the end it didn’t necessarily mean that nothing sexual happened between them. Anyway both books are great and definitely worth reading!
Two weeks in a row, you get movies that had a major lesbian relationship in the original novel, which was taken out almost completely in adapting it.
Unfortunately, yes, that's true
GIVE ME MORE WOMEN IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER
MEN IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER
NONBINARY FOLKS TOO
GIVE ME MOOOOOOOORE
@@OGBReacts It does at least seem this one took the same approach as Blubbs and Durlan in Gravity Falls: "Fine, I won't say they're a couple. But that doesn't mean I won't subtext the shit out of every single scene between them."
I thank God things worked out the way it did with this movie though. Still a cinematic masterpiece and a good testimony of life in the south. It's always tricky territory with adapting all relationships from the novels into film. I'm neither for or against this, but at the same time, I feel that staying true to the novel is always important.
I agree with the gravity falls comment, lol. Like it is 100% obvious these two are together. It even got a GLAAD award when it came out back in the 90s.
@@OGBReacts My tween daughter & her BBF just discovered But I'm A Cheerleader, a fave of mine from high school--it's been at least 15 years since I've seen it, but I remember loving it, & it also made their little queer hearts happy
Your subscribers have given you good choices in films. I enjoy watching you react to these quality classic movies. A good story and great acting beats special effects extravaganzas every time for me. Looking forward to more from you. 🌈
Whistle stop cafe is still up and running! I grew up close by. To this day I refuse to eat the bbq
The book also never explicitly states that Ruth and Idgie are lesbians, but it is very obvious. The only reason it isn't explicitly stated is because of the time period it came out. The 90s still weren't the best for LGBTQA+, but this movie did win a GLAAD award and it is common knowledge that the main characters are romantic partners. The cooking scene is pretty much a symbolic sex scene. So while it isn't ever said, everybody knows. Them girls be gay af
AMEN TO THAT
AMEN TO ALLLLL OF THAT
Before I start watching I want to say that I appreciate you watching great non-mainstream non-CGI blockbuster movies (like this one) as well. Just great stories. A couple other great movies are Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri and The Fisher King. Both outstanding acting, direction and script. Thank you.
I loved you reaction to this one, especially when you looked right at the camera when you found out she wasn’t dead she just left in a taxi 😭🤣
This was my best friends favorite movie , we were about 7 when it came out. I still call her Tuwanda to this day because it always makes her smile a little bigger and helps her find her confidence when she needs it most. Fun fact she told me in the book it's alot more of a lesbian love story but Hollywood couldn't handle it and watered it down. We gotta read the book!!! Shout out to Kathy Bates for being awesome 💕
There was meant to be a stunt double for Mary Stuart Masterson when Idgie gets the honey from the hive. The double backed out so she did it herself. That was one of the last scenes filmed because it was so dangerous and there was a possibility of her dying if she accidentally agitated the bees and triggered all of them to sting. Masterson had to do it multiple times to get all the shots in.
Rip to a beautiful gorgeous actress Jessica Tandy we still miss you
I'm among those who suggested you should watch this and figured you would like it. "Secret's in the sauce."
Your expression at the barbecue scene…priceless 🤣
I normally do not cry watching movies but this was the first movie that almost made me cry.
It's okay ... I'm a 5'17" - 250 lb. man ... Even I cried a little.
Desert Hearts is a sweet old movie set in 1959 about a woman discovering that she can love another woman. Very woman-oriented flick, great performances, a racy bit or two . . . you might like it.
This movie is too good. You should give "The Secret Life of the Bees" a try
Glad you reacted to Fried Green Tomatoes. Also, check out "Terms of Endearment". One of my all-time favs very similar in tone to this movie and still have their own greatly unique stories.
Most people who know Fannie Flagg probably just remember her as that funny woman on the old 1970s Match Game, but she was also a gifted author. I don't know of any others optioned by Hollywood, but if they had to choose one, they chose well. Thanks for letting us watch this with you.
Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary Louise Parker and Cicely freakin' Tyson!!! What an all-star lineup! How could this script NOT attract such heavyweights? Nice nod to Chris O'Donnell too. He didn't get much screen-time, but he was memorable.
I have eaten fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe - in Juliette, GA where the movie was filmed.
Beaches next please!! You're hitting all the greats and absolutely NO ONE has done a react to Beaches yet!! Please please!
Yessss
I remember when I first heard about that movie. Went to the college radio booth to watch a friend run it, she went on about this great new movie at the theater while a record played. Saw it myself a week later. Yeah it was pretty good. Surprised no one has done it. They tried to do a similar style movie after that with Bette called "Stella" but it just wasn't the same.
Fried Green tomatoes as a southern delicacy. I grew up on him in pinto beans fried cabbage cornbread. Southern food is either you love it I hate it. I love it. The movie is so wonderful.? 😀👍
Ruth also wanted to die hearing Iggy telling one of her stories. It was a shared connection to Buddy and they loved each other just as much as they loved him.
Easily, one of my favorite movies of all time. Just a spectacular cast all around. I also loved the book it was based on by Fannie Flagg.
This was one of my late grandma's movie, thanks for doing a great reaction to this great classic movie
This movie is one of my all time favorites and I am so glad you loved it too. I'll admit part of the fun was seeing your reaction to what became of Frank Bennett and it was priceless.
I never get tired of watching the movie, especially the director's cut.
If you are lucky, you can find the book online. The book is very well
done and has added bonuses that are not in the movie.
I'm so glad you loved the movie and yes, in certain parts you want to yell
at the screen.
The whole cast did a great job.
I first saw this back in 1992 with my then BF. He was 20, I was the ripe old age of 24. After the movie I said that had it been taking place today, Idgie and Ruth would have been in a relationship. He didn't agree.
Years later he told me, that after rewatching it, I had been right.
You wanna know anger? When Frank kicks Ruth down the stairs I was this close >-< to fucking throw my bag of candy at the head of some random moviegoer and just stomp out of theater. Boy, I was boiling!
But, yeah, great movie. All four female leads are fire.
I'm suprised you blurred out Fannie Flagg's cameo from the "spice in marriage" bit. That was the original author of the novel for this movie. LOL! Also, great movie and down with the KKK!
Cicely Tyson is a national treasure.
2:16 RIP Jessica Tandy. I've heard reactors describe this movie, before they've seen it, with sentiments like, "Now, I know Kathy Bates is in it." That sentiment has _surprised_ me, because once upon a time, this movie was famous for having Jessica _Tandy._ Her fame _overshadowed_ that of Kathy Bates, thanks to performances like _Batteries not Included,_ _Cocoon_ and _Cocoon: The Return_ and _Driving Miss Daisy._ And those are just the performances of hers that I've _seen._
20:18 "How many o' them hormones are you _takin',_ honey?"
😄Moments like _this_ are the reason.
I think you would enjoy the book. I just read it last year. The relationship between Ruth and Idgie was well known by their family and friends. Also, Idgie and Ninny are two different people. Although, the movie absolutely wants the audience to believe they are the same person.
The fact that Ruth used a passage from Ruth to send to Idgie is amazing because in the book of Ruth, the Hebrew word used to describe Ruth and Naomi's relationship was the same word used to describe Adam and Eve's relationship and Naomi adopts Ruth and Boaz's baby as her own. The queer story is using a queer story!
I'm only 3:21 into this and I know I'm gonna love it.
I have to say, though, this has to be in the top 5 of greatest movies that no one's heard of. Don't pay attention to certain comments I've seen. It was a great reaction as always.
This needs to be a series like A League Of Their Own.
If you think about it, they were together "in that sense." The time period that makes that less clear is the time the movie came out. Fanny Flagg's book made it perfectly clear. It is a bone of contention with me that the movie masked their relationship.
This movie always reminds me of my grandmother. She and my grandfather ran a cafe in the 1930s in a small town in Kentucky. It was called the Dine-O-Mite. Jessica Tandy always reminded me of my grandmother. She had a little bit of Idgy Threadgood in her too.
That’s amazing! I love that diner name.
Thank you for sharing.
I lived in Macon Georgia for several years when I was in my 20s and Juliette is like right up the road from there. One of my best friends lived in Juliette, so I spent a lot of time there especially since we both had daughters around the same age. This was not too long after the movie was filmed there, well the restaurant and the waterway was. I’ve been to the area several times as well as Senoia & Newnan where the rest of it was. Senoia, Newnan and surrounding areas is also where they film The Walking Dead, we head over there a lot! We live about 2 hours and some change away from there & we LOVE TWD.
I enjoyed your reactions and comments during this movie from beginning to the end... was delightful ! The secret is in the meat.... Bwahahaha.... I love that! The relationship between many of these women in the film is so incredibly strong.... it tugs at the heart strings . This is one of those films that I would not leave out of my favorites list . Any movies with Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates are a Must see for me . OBGReacts Thank you so much for this.... again I look forward to many more .
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
One of my favorite movies of all time. Great reaction. Welcome to the club my dear.
I think hinting at Idgie and Ruth is pretty accurate of the 30s though because the people around them probably only thought they were best friends. I remember my grandmother telling us she never knew women were gay when she was growing up. She had 2 friends who never got married and lived together as the best of friends in the late 40s and she didn't even consider the fact they were a couple until on reflection during a conversation in the 90s. It was definitely a thing that was never acknowledged. Funny how she was aware men could be in love with other men, but never considered it could be the same for women.
Oh my GOD. I saw this movie ages ago with my mom and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. So excited to see your reaction.
I'm just gonna get the box of tissues before I hit play.
Loved when you told the tears to get back in there 😝 oh they were coming regardless lol
Kathy Bates did this movie, right after she did the movie Misery
You’re amazing! ♥️… and loving the grouping of recent videos, like “The Color Purple” and now this.
If you wanna laugh, watch these classics:
(1) Birdcage (1996)
(2) Noises Off (1992)
(3) The Producers (2005 …or the original from 1967)
Thank you!!
I actually reacted to the Birdcage awhile back! It's one of my favorite movies that I've watched on here
@@OGBReacts oh then I’m looking that one up!! Noises Off has Carol Burnett and Christopher Reeves… The Producers had Nathan Lane!
“I don't wear shoes they make me fall down.” 😂
@@OGBReacts , I loved your Birdcage reaction! The Producers is classic and Noises Off is a TERRIFIC movie and play. I actually helped a production of Noises off in 1989 at a Summerstock performance. We did 6 plays in 9 weeks at a college in Washington State during the summer. Noises Off the movie has an all star cast including Carol Burnett and Christopher Reeves. Incredible comedy and what is called a sex farce. You will be in hysterics I think. The timing in it is incredible. Christopher Reeves played Superman and was Robin Williams really good friend in real life. They went to theater college together. He broke his back falling off a horse and Robin Williams was the person who gave him the thought that he could live in his paralyzed state. He made him laugh for the first time in the hospital. Anyhow, LOVED YOUR REACTION TODAY! Thanks so much, as always. The Fisher King is still calling your name! 💕💜💕
Thanks so much!!
In the book, they were a couple, and everyone knew it. The filmmakers wanted to cut out the romance but the actresses tried to convey it anyway, it's subtle but it's there. Honestly would've been a better movie if they were less subtle about it, I don't think it would have hurt it at the box office (I saw it in theaters, we weren't *that* ass-backwards in the 80s, lol). Also in the book, Mrs. Threadgood is not Idgy, she was married to one of Idgy's brothers. Love this film, glad you enjoyed it.
I loved your non verbal 👀 at the "subtext" ...I Lol'ed, I'm sure my neighbors heard!
I love this movie! For years I thought Mrs. Threadgoode was Idgie. The way the book tells the story is different, but the basic story is the same. The movie is so much better, imho. Frank was bbq'd. That was a shock! Loved it! Just a great movie & story all the way around. The characters were great! You fell in love with them, even Smoky, even though he wasn't in it much. Great reaction. Another suggestion for you : A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN.
29:33. The look of someone who just released “I’ve been had”. LoL
Awesome reaction as always ❤️
Such a good movie! Ruth dying and Idgie's reaction always makes me bawl like a baby! I watched this movie the first time when I was 10 at a slumber party and I kept telling my friends they were together and they were all like "They're just friends!" lol. I now understand why it jumped out to me, it was the first time I saw a relationship between two women shown in a positive light(I grew up in the most conservative part of the most conservative part of Texas...so yeah being gay felt like the end of the world to me as a kid) and even then before I knew I was gay, it brought me comfort. I keep thinking I need to read the book! Loved your reaction!
So glad to hear! This is why movies like this are important to anybody,
My mom and I randomly scream Towanda!!!! Every once in a while lol btw sipsy was a true hero
Ooooh that one part hits right in the feels 😭
I haven't read the book but I heard that in the book it is more clear that Iggy and Ruth are in love... Love this movie and cry Everytime
The book is amazing, well worth a read. Written by one of my favorite comedians /talk show guest.
The book is amazing! Fannie Flagg wrote a sequel during the pandemic. It's called "The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop".
If you can, I suggest reading the book and visiting the town it was filmed in. It's in Juliette Georgia and you can eat at the Café. This movie and the book got me through a lot and continue to help me power through the bad times. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your reactions were perfect!
Glad you reacted to this. It makes sense you did this soon after 'Color Purple'.
'Fried Green Tomaties' is almost like a white version of 'Color Purple'. Kind of similar movies.
Idgie will forever be the 1920s lesbian queen of my heart. It was rare for us small girls who had an idea we were not straight to have a fictional queer woman represented so beautifully in the early 90s.
That actress could definitely get it, if she wanted to.
that movie is a hidden gem.
Hit the like button before I watched, thank you for reacting to this movie.
Of course! Thanks so much for watching!
Ninny and Idgie were not the same people. Ninny was Idgie's sister in law. She said so when Ninny introduced herself. She was married to Idgie's brother Cleo.
I love your reactions! You definitely deserve more subscribers. You always cheer me up!
You’re too kind!! Thanks so much ♥️
Thank you for reacting to this movie! Great reaction as always 😊
Loved your reaction :) thanks for sharing this with us!
"Idgie never did write back." Uh oh, a bit triggering after The Color Purple.
First video I’ve seen of yours. Great work! It evoked all the film’s emotions. I think it’s beautiful and perfectly done. To get the full dish, read the book! Tells it all!
Aww thanks so much!! Appreciate it, glad you enjoyed!
8:40 "She's _gotta_ be gay. She's gotta be _gay."_
You know, I haven't read the book this movie is based on, but as I understand it, there _was_ a note of 53xual chemistry in the _food_ fight. They deliberately made the food fight in the movie _different._
Love this movie so much. Love it. It’s nice in the book too because their relationship is a little more explicit
Such a roller coaster of emotions! Absolutely love this movie!
I live about 30 minutes from the Whistle Stop Cafe.
One thing I've always found really weird about this movie is how much it just glosses over their feeding Frank to the whole town. Now, few things irritate me more than when a story wimps out on a despicable character's comeuppance, so I'm perfectly fine with that part, but it's just bizarre how they seem to think nothing of making a whole bunch of innocent people into unwitting cannibals.
I feel it's just part of the comic relief of the movie, honestly
After a lot of kinda intense feelings of grief and loss throughout the movie, I feel ending it with that was pretty great
I always thought they made sure to only feed it to the cops/investigators looking for him. That was the impression I got.
@@dumbbunny9178 Probably to the local KKK members as well. Just because, you would want to get as much of that Barbecue gone as quickly as possible before the meat went bad. Lol.
oooo good point!
I mean. He was delicious. Why spoil a good meal? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A beautiful heartbreaking love story
Oh my, I hope you brought tissues. Don't really care much for chick-flicks, but I did enjoy this one and have seen it a couple of times. I hope you enjoy it as well.
If you like the old lady you need to check out " Driving Miss Daisy "!
I also watched this for the first time recently! I loved it and thought it was such a sweet and sad love story. Then I was like "oh, cannibalism...didn't see that coming"
I saw this movie at a afternoon screening before it came out. I was paid $5 and, after there was questions about what we thought of it. Everyone said don’t change a thing. You knew you were in for an emotional ride when they handed out travel Kleenex as you entered the theater.
BTW, fried green tomatoes are delicious but, you can only eat a couple because of the tangy.
Me watching the bee scene: "So, uh... have you reacted to My Girl yet??"
Her stand-in refused to do the bee hive honey getting scene… so she did it herself.
This is mt first video watch. I subscribed because of your willingness to watch older movies. I would love to suggest legends of the fall
Thanks so much for subscribing! I hope you enjoy all the videos :)
I'll keep that movie in mind.
Two tearjerkers in a row.
Sooooo... "Terms of Endearment" next?
5:51 if you like fried stuff and tangy stuff then you’d like them
Never heard this movie described as sad. It's more of a dark comedyic Drama
Great movie, great reaction... thanks for allowing me to watch with you.
Peace and Love
hi O.G. Bojangles, I know that the featured meal in this movie is fried green tomatoes, but I like barbeque. I would eat it every day if I could. Every time that I watch this movie my appetite is whetted for another plate of barbeque. Izzy and Ruth, Smokey too.

"Weird to see Kathy Bates not as a psycho..."
