Silver Streak was Wilder and Pryor's first movie together. And it's a good one.
Silver streak is my second favorite wilder/Pryor movie.
My 3rd and 4th are Another You and See No Evil, Hear No Evil
Exactly why I came here to comment. Silver was a tighter movie, and Pryor's best entrance!
I strongly recommend watching Silver Streak before watching Airplane!
We can't forget my favorite Gene Wilder movie: Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.
I've watched Silver Streak sooo many times growing up, my dad watched it all the time. The whole cast was great, so many awesome character actors, it's like comfort food❤
Just FYI, Richard Pryor was one of the most influential stand-up comics of his generation.
You misspelled "all time."
THE most influential
co-wrote Blazing Saddles.
Richard is the GOAT of stand-up comedy for ALL-TIME!!
In his day he was the funniest motherfucker on the planet...
“Richard Pryor sounds familiar” Kill me now. I officially don’t want to get any older.
Maybe she should watch superman III
@@gdiaz8827 no!!!
@@gdiaz8827 Maybe she should watch "Richard Pryor: Live in Concert" (1979) -- it's on Netflix right now!
@@jscottlowry The greatest stand-up concert ever filmed! I've seen it 10x and still lmao.
Richard Pryor was the greatest stand-up comedian of all time!
"See No Evil, Hear No Evil" is another great Wilder-Pryor movie.
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman
Tbh I died inside when Ashleigh didn’t know who Richard Pryor was 😭
Well he's been dead since 2005, and hadn't been in anything of any significance since 1989. It's not really that hard to understand how someone born in the 90's didn't know who he was.
That's about like being shocked when someone born in the 70's isn't aware of the works of Rita Hayworth.
No one knows Erland van Lidth , the big white guy , he was Dynamo in Running man and died at age 34 from hearth failure , only did 4 movies .
The Wanderers 1979 , Stir Crazy 1980 , Alone in the Dark 1982 and Running man 1987 .
More amazing is that he had degree in electric engineering and computer science from MIT
@@Rowgue51
Well, I was born in 1965, and I know who Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, and Faye Wray were, so there’s that.
@@mattslupek7988 i know who they are too and i am in my 40's however.. but in our youth wasnt many options for movies and shows...so we seen all that was available... current era.. its like 20000 shows on netflix alone... so i can see how she woudlnt know him
Wilder and Pryor are one of the greatest comedy double acts, EVER!
See No Evil, Hear No Evil!!!
Gotta watch Hear no evil, see no evil.
@@Wraithnine What do you mean I'm not white?!! Does dad know?!! 😂😂😂
Yes definitely gotta watch See No Evil, Hear No Evil!!!!!
@@marniejane11 It's an underrated classic
Now you really need to watch "Stripes" with Bill Murray, Harold Ramos, John Candy, etc.
I have that movie on dvd. I know I'm old. One of my absolute favorite movies of all time! I think I've mentioned it a few times and I'm hoping since it does have Bill Murray and John candy in it that she will watch it because she loves them both. Ashley brightens my day and my week. Sometimes I'll binge watch episodes a couple times just for her reactions.
When I hear the movie Stripes, the first thing I think of is "Razzle Dazzle"..
If you've seen the movie a couple times, you'll know where in the flick I'm talking about
Steven Wheat For anyone that is wound too tight to laugh at Stripes I just have one thing to say, "Lighten up Francis!"
Stripes, Meatballs, Caddyshack and Ghostbusters make up about 3/4 of my conversational content for the last 30 years.
THAT'S THE FACT, JACK!
Oh I also forgot to add that Gene Wilder's love interest was Craig t Nelson's wife in poltergeist! You missed that one but that's okay. Her name is Joe Beth Williams.
JoBeth, not Joe Beth.
And the familiar looking Deputy Ward Wilson is Craig T Nelson himself.
@@ElaMongrella You're only like the fifteenth person to mention that...so did Ashleigh...and it's mentioned in the comment you're replying to...
@Gerald H I love that movie!
I was just about to say! Nailed It!
“See no evil, hear no evil” starring Wilder and Pryor was a favorite of ours as kids. Not sure if it still holds up.
It does
My favourite
No it doesn’t hold a candle to this.. Brewsters millions is fun thou
Good one
When he starts singing in the cell my heart always melts.
"See No Evil, Hear No Evil" needs to be on your watch list!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁
"MENS RHEA?! OH MY GOD!!" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
@@michaelriddick7116 "I'm black???!?!?!? DOES DAD KNOW?!!"
I laughed so hard at the mugshot scene I thought I was going to pass out. 🤣😂
Please don't watch that movie. It has one of the most rapey scenes in the history of film that I cannot believe the actress agreed to do.
Best movie for this duo is "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" from 1989
A MUST watch
"See No Evil, Hear No Evil" is another great movie with Gene and Richard.
Silver Streak isn't bad either.
that i think is their best
YES! THIS CHOICE!
Yeah I would have done that one before this one its more of a classic
I alternate between Silver Streak and See No Evil, Hear No Evil when I need a laugh and a break.
Has anyone recommended 9 to 5 yet? You're a Dolly lover, so that's a must see.
I have! Posted to Ashleigh to inform her that it was her debut film while viewing "Steele Magnolias".
Her first video on her other channel would have been perfect with that song.
9 to 5 still holds up decades later. I loved the office improvements all three ladies made to better accommodate the office in their terms.
"See No Evil, Hear No Evil" is another Wilder/Pryor movie that you will LOVE. They have a unique chemistry that few others can pull off. Ashleigh, check it out.
These two actors have GREAT chemistry together. Another GREAT movie they done was “See no Evil, Hear no Evil.” Extremely funny movie.
The guy who acted as Grossberger was a real singer. He also starred in Arnold Schwarzenegger movie The Running Man. I just found out he sadly passed away at the young age of 34, just months after finishing The Running Man. He full name is Erland Van Lidth De Jeude.
Thanks for that.
Best scene in the movie
Wow. That's pretty amazing.
He also went to MIT
Also worked in IT, trained as an opera singer, and was a member of a Dutch noble family.
An often overlooked Gene Wilder movie is The Frisco Kid (with Harrison Ford).
Completely agree -- a great and unique buddy/road movie!
Love it!!!
Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford together is a must see.
Here's one you might not see elsewhere: The Birdcage, with Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, and Gene Hackman.
Omg! Yes please!
I second this!!
Yees!!
My wifes favorite movie, Ashleigh would LOVE this movie!
"Silver Streak" is more Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor gold! For Richard Pryor and John Candy, give "Brewster's Millions a try. More Richard Pryor... "The Toy"
Meredith was the Wife in Poltergeist So the mom and the dad were both in this film.
The scene with the pliers reminded of one of my favorites from the "Cheers" TV show. Carla explains that she never has pain at the dentist because as soon as she sits down she grabs the dentist by his most tender parts and says "We're not going to hurt each other...are we?"
I think you would like "Down Periscope."
1980 was a crazy year for Richard Pryor, in particular, June 6, 1980, for some weird reason apart for him being high, Richard Pryor dumped 151 proof rum over his body while he was freebasing, he ran out of his house completely on fire, he suffered second-degree burns.
Fire will sober your ass up! - Richard Pryor
See no evil Hear no evil must see
Brewster’s millions with John Candy
Yes hear no evil see no evil. I can hear my dad laughing and he’s been gone for nearly 20 years.
also The Toy
@@jeremydanchuk1897 YES!
Silver Streak, Frisco Kid, Bustin Loose, and Harlem Nights. Gene & Richard were & are awesome!
Yes!!!
Gilda Radner was Gene's real life wife. Her SNL stuff is classic.
Everyone should take advice from Roseann Roseanna Danna.. :)
She had a movie called Gilda Live which was her doing a live performance. It also featured Father Guido Sarducci and was very funny. I highly recommend it if you can find it.
@@williambevins It was a little sad watching Gilda Live when she joked about cancer. She had not yet been diagnosed, but it wasn't that long afterward that cancer killed her.
Gilda like Gene was a comic genius! Gone to soon.
Watch them together in "Hanky Panky". Good comedy. Admittedly not a side-splitter, but a must-watch for fans of Radner/Wilder. I love them so much!
The big bald guy was also in a movie called The Wanderers, which I highly recommend. He was a pretty interesting dude. He was 6'6", was an Olympic wrestler and opera singer, and died at age 34 of heart failure.
I remember him also as Dynamo in “The Running Man”
Richard Pryor was a huge major comic genius in the 70s and 80s He was also one of the writers of Blazing Saddles. There is a prison rodeo every year down here in Louisiana
The walking into jail part always has me in stitches 🤣
"I'm gettin bad"
Definitely time to go back to Gene Wilder's first starring role: Mel Brooks's 1968 classic "The Producers."
And a bit further back, he has a small but very memorable first ever screen role in Bonnie and Clyde.
Bonnie and Clyde was '67, The Producers '68. A very big jump in billing in only one year and a testament to Wilder's talent and on-screen presence.
@@ElliotNesterman And he was a late replacement after the original choice Dustin Hoffman decided to do The Graduate instead (playing a guy who sleeps with Mel Brooks' wife, funnily enough).
@@Rmlohner Yes, along with Teri Garr ( Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Black Stallion ).
@@Rmlohner And a fairly small but significant role in Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)".
Craig T. Nelson was the father in Poltergeist AND the voice of Mr. Incredible in The Incredibles. He also started in Coach, an 80s sitcom.
and Coach for years too.
The "strip club" lady was JoBeth Williams, who played Craig T Nelson's wife in Poltergeist
He was great in The District.
@@MravacKid I liked that program too. It was too short lived.
Currently in the TV series Young Sheldon.
The director was amazed that he could sing that well.
There isn't a madder, funnier movie that I know Ashleigh would like more than What About Bob with Bill Murray
This came first, David S.
That one she said she's doing next Monday im so excited for it she's gonna love it! ..... I hope 🙏🏾
Finally you have seen the greatest comedy duo of all time! Richard Pryor was one of the writers on blazing saddles. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor did some of the most amazing comedy movies together. Their first one is called silver streak. That movie made me fall in love with trains and always wanted to ride one. You will absolutely love it! It has to be your next Gene Wilder movie! And Richard Pryor is a comedy GOAT. Rip to both of them. Gene Wilder once said the chemistry he had with Richard Pryor was like sexual and you could not explain it. Their chemistry together is amazing! I usually wait till Mondays even though I'm a patreon. But I might sit down and watch the whole thing with you. You made my sunday! I have young onset Parkinson's and you really bring a smile to my face every week. You're the only one I patreon. I have a 27-year-old son and a 14 year old daughter. So I have a millennial and a zoomer. My daughter calls me a boomer. I love watching you watch old movies! Another movie you will really like is the jerk with Steve Martin. It is so funny and politically incorrect that you will really enjoy it. I hope to see meatballs with Bill Murray on your channel soon. Me and you are the same about Bill Murray and about Gene Wilder. Oh those eyes!
Totally agree with everything that you said, and I hope you are feeling well. Laugh on!
Gene Wilder does have the softest, kindest eyes.
Best movie for this duo is "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" from 1989
Gene Wilder museum owned is by Elon Musk :):)
Richard Pryor was supposed to be in Blazing saddles but the movie studio thought he was too controversial
Check out Brewster's Millions starring Richard Pryor and John Candy.
I was very happy to see Ashleigh's reaction to Stir Crazy! She laughed so hard she almost choked and spit her drink! Also recommend Silver Streak.
“Richard Pryor can also get it”😂 well it is now time to dive into his greatest works on film 🎥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now we just need to hear the rest of your "almost got arrested" story. :)
Yeah, I was expecting a story at the end of the video. Maybe Editor Ashleigh didn't think it was as funny and cut it out?
@@Leon-wz1js more like Public Defender Ashleigh read up on statutes of limitations
@@MrSheckstr heh heh That IS a strong possibility.
The now-famous "Brad Zit" or just regular, generic-brand Brad like me?
"The Dream Team" is a must see for March madness. You will love it and the actors in it.
So glad you're going to watch What About Bob, but I also hope Overboard is on your short list, cause you'll love it.
Funny, Stir Crazy story. I was something like 8 years old when this came out. I was dying to go see the Aristocats, which Disney had just re-released and my grandmother offered to pay for whoever could to take me. My 18 year old uncle and his best friend volunteered. So we headed out to a theater on Kingston Pike (fellow Knoxvillian here 😊). This mighty megaplex was located close to where Rooms to Go is now and had a whopping FOUR SCREENS! Back then, theaters had a separate ticket window for each movie playing. You could always tell what movie would probably sell out but the length of the line stretching into the parking lot. And because it was the afternoon of a summer weekday, of course it was the Disney movie with the biggest line. Before we even got out of the car, my Uncle said to me, “Look at that long line. Why don’t we go see this movie over here instead? Wouldn’t you rather do that? You know The Aristocats is going to sell out before we get to the counter. This one has Willie Wonka in it.” So, that is how my grandmother paid for an 8 year me to go see an R-rated comedy instead of a Disney film. And I laughed my butt off! Most of the R-rated stuff went over my head anyway. I really don’t want to admit how old I was before it finally hit me that two 18 year old boys volunteering to take a little girl to see a Disney film was a little odd and that going to see Stir Crazy on Mammaw’s dime might have been the plan all along. LOL! In my uncle’s defense, the line for Aristocats was wrapped around the building.
Did they get lucky?
While not in the month's theme, a great Richard Prior Movie and a suggestion for future viewing is,
The Classic film, Brewster's Millions.
"The Dream Team" is one of my favorite comedies.
This movie was HUGE. No one talks about it because it's so old and comedies generally don't time travel like other genres. Comedies tend to be more rooted in their times...and not usually considered 'art worth study' or 'profound' or 'speaking to the human condition' or whatever. There are comedies with pathos like Midnight Run & Planes, Trains and Automobiles that people feel differently about tho. I was in grade school when this came out, and all the kids were imitating Pryor's 'we bad' scene...huge hit.
"How did the other people not die laughing?"
It's called retakes.
No, it's called professionalism. When you're an actor (and crew) in a comedy, you prepare yourself. You know in advance that something funny is going to occur so you simply steel yourself for it. You put on a "deadpan" expression and wait for filming to cut, at which point you can laugh. As an actor, I once won a competition for my ability to maintain a deadpan expression while other actors tried to make me laugh. Retakes don't come into it.
@@firstenforemost professionalism or not actors break all the time. It’s common. They just do retakes like the poster above said.
As a film and television technician for the last 17 years, I can safely say it’s a combination of professionalism and several takes. These kind of comedians do tons of riffing so there’s multiple takes anyhow, so they can pick the best bits when it comes to editing.
@@Costumerchx In a Venn diagram of what it takes to pull off a performance EVERYTHING is in a circle labeled Professionalism (which is in a larger circle labeled "Safety"). Congratulations on your 17 years. As a film and television writer, producer, and actor for 37 years, and as the only person in this conversation who seems to have a deep understanding of the actor side of this issue, I can definitively say that that the reason actors don't laugh during funny scenes is because they are being professional (including those who are background/extras who don't do it regularly or as a career). There are retakes of over 99% of scenes no matter what happens. Actors do flub lines and make mistakes and break character. There are instances where someone can break character or make the other actor break character, but to state that getting takes without people in the scene breaking and laughing requires "several takes" is false. Without professionalism, you'd never get a single clean take. Giving the credit for the actors not breaking during scene on retakes is an insult to actors. Even suggesting that it's a combination or requires both is false. That's like saying they do takes until they luckily get one where no one broke character. Actors on stage in live performances are able to go entire performances without breaking character and with no ability to do a retake, in absolutely farcical and outrageous and hilarious scenes. Why is it hard to believe that actors on set can do the same?
Fun fact: Rodney Dangerfield had never worked with professional actors before Caddyshack. During the whole movie he thought he was bombing because nobody was laughing. He didn't know at the time how hard it was for them to not crack up until they told him.
Wilder and Pryor one of the best comedy duo’s , check them out in Silver Streak .
Especially as it seems Ashleigh likes sexy Gene Wilder ;)
See no evil,hear no evil is another great Pryor/Wilder team up
Heck yeah, that film is freaking hilarious xD Wilder & Pryor are just absolute comedy gold together.
Richard Pryor was one of the best, most popular stand up comedians of the 70s - 80s.
Craig T. Nelson actually had his own successful sitcom called "Coach" that ran for 9 seasons in the 90s.
Oh my, go down the rabbit hole of researching Richard Pryor and his life. Such a many layered human being. Just love him to pieces. An icon for sure.
See no evil, hear no evil. Another movie w these 2
A better Gene Wilder / Richard Pryor movie is Silver Streak.
They are always great together
@@jonathanross149 I never so Stir Crazy so I watched it last night to prepare for Ashleigh's video. It is an okay movie. What no one bring up is they would still be consider fugitives of the law consider they help people escape from jail.
Also See No Evil, Hear No Evil.
The cop you recognized is Craig T. Nelson. He's the dad in Poltergeist and also the voice of Mr. Incredible. Also, Meredith is JoBeth Williams who is the mom in Poltergeist.
You always ask how they don't crack up when filming these movies, but the actor on the far left at 7:11 can be seen cracking a smile and chuckling 😂
Their first movie together was Silver Streak, which also featured Scatman Crothers from One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Shining.
I know I'm late to the party and someone might have already pointed it out.
There are two actors from POLTERGEIST in this film:
The dad (Nelson as she said) and the mom, who played the woman who ran away with Wilder in the end of the movie.
😁
I wonder how far Ashleigh got into this movie before she started wondering how "Stir Crazy" lost in the poll to "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World?"
That’s a good movie too. The voters must have just been older folks like me! Well I guess I kinda think of myself as straddling the fence between the baby boomers and generation x. 😂
I hope The Jerk is still on the list.
My favourite with these two actors is See No Evil Hear No Evil, I watch it at least once a year. Ship ship ship ship 😁😁😁
Richard Pryor was supposed to play the sheriff in Blazing Saddles.
He wrote a lot of the gags, especially the Mongo stuff. Do a search on UA-cam for deleted Mongo scenes. They are great.
They took the role away from him because the studio felt he was too much of a loose cannon (for a Mel Brooks movie?) and would be unreliable. Truth be told, at that point in his life that may have actually been true.
Richard caught himself on fire smoking drugs,He was a hot actor for his time
Richard Pryor was one of the biggest comics of the 70's, and was a co-writer of the script of Blazing Saddles.
When you watched the movie Blazing Saddles, you saw Pryor's name under the screenplay credits.
Richard Pryor was a stand-up comedian and actor. He did a lot of comedy albums. I remember him most from "The Toy" as a kid.
You are the greatest human ever Ashleigh. You inspire me to overcome my suicidal thoughts battles to overcome my Autism limitations and weaknesses and to win a Oscar Academy Award. I will turn 27 years old this May 15th in Jerusalem Israel and I use artificial intelligence and computer machine learning technology to daily save lives from car collisions at Mobileye Intel in Jerusalem Israel for my safe driving startup. The first openly autistic Oscar Academy Award winner was Mr David Byrne back in 1987, the founder of the rock band The Talking Heads.
Congrats on your accomplishments.
I was never so disappointed to discoverer that the big guy did not actually sing the song in the cell , the vocal was provided by some one else.
If you listen closely the singing voice is that of Gene Wilder
Cool 😎, did not know that. Thank you 🙏.
@@kirbywilliamson2942 you are welcome👍
Yes, disappointing considering Erland Van Lidth De Jeude was an opera singer.
The actor (Erland Van Lidth) was an opera singer tho... Don't think he gave the sound they were hoping for. In Running Man he sings his own role (Dynamo).
Everyone seems to have forgotten about another Wilder/Pryor collaboration called 'Silver Streak". It's a murder mystery revolving around a train. Wilder is a guy who witnessed a murder, but can't convince anyone else. Pryor is a car thief who gets swept along on the adventure. Fun movie!
When this movie was in theaters it was incredibly popular. People went to go see it more than once, including myself.
Please add the movie "Babe" to your MUST WATCH list if you have not already seen it. 100/5 star movie
Which one, the baseball player or the pig? James Cromwell appears in both of them.
You didn't mention why you were nearly arrested by three deputies.
"Stir Crazy" perfectly encapsulates the past decade.
Ashleigh, I got a film suggestion for you. It’s this rare Richard Pryor comedy from 1982 before “The Toy”, “Some Kind Of Hero”, I won’t spoil it for you and who’s else is in it, but I’m sure you’ll love it. There’s even a theme song at the end of the film.
Everything with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor together is amazing! Please watch all of them. Also, highly recommend Brewsters Millions. It has Richard Pryor and John Candy.
The pretty lady at the beginning is Lee Purcell, who was also in Valley Girl, Nicolas Cage's first feature film. She was also in the surfer movie, Big Wednesday, with Jan-Michael Vincent and Gary Busey.
Yes, " Big Wednesday " with John Englund ( Freddy Krueger ).
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 Robert Englund.
@@firstenforemost Thanks for the save.
Lee Purcell also starred in a movie that you probably won't be able find called "Almost Summer", but if you ever do happen to stumble upon it, you absolutely have to watch it. Also stars Bruno Kirby (Billy Crystal's best friend from "When Harry Met Sally") and Didi Conn (you haven't done "Grease" yet, which you should, or "You Light Up My Life", which you shouldn't; she was in both of those) as Kirby's sister.
Only movie from Motown Pictures with no African-American actors in it, and the music was by Mike Love, an often overlooked member of the Beach Boys.
@@dadoctah7978 Another favorite Bruno Kirby movie is " The Freshman ". I suppose " The Godfather " must be viewed prior though in order to get some of the underlying humor of " The Freshman ".
favorite movie growing up. They are both in "see no evil hear no evil. " another good one
So glad I waited to the end of the video. Ever since you asked who the guard was I’ve been screaming at my phone Poltergeist! If you hadn’t put that together I would have gone Stir Crazy.😂
What happened with the three sheriff's deputies coming to your house?
Yes ! Have we been watching a hardened criminal low these many months🤔😉😁🇨🇦.
Btw fun fact Meredith (JoBeth Williams) and deputy Ward Wilson (Craig T Nelson) also played the perents in poltergeist, Stir Crazy was the first movie they ever work together on.
00:15:21 That was Erland Van Lidth De Jeude, Dutch-American actor and singer. His last appearance was in “The Running Man” with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dynamo, The singing convict killer that is electrified.
We went to see this in the theaters as a family, yes as a family. They figured a few dirty words from Pryor would be ok, and it would be funny. Then bam, the strip club and Mom was killing herself to cover my little brothers eyes and they made us change our seat so he then sat next to her. I was the oldest and loved it. I liked most other their buddy movies.
Was this when PG actually meant PG? Before they had PG-13?
@@rmhartman PG-13 was post Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, so mid-80s.
@@rmhartman Yea, back then you could do sex scenes, violence, and murder under a PG rating. Hell, remember Gremlins? PG. I guess it had to be done as a comedy.
The lyrics of the Woodpecker Jingle sung at the bank:
"Oh!, you'll save money! Knock on wood!
When you do what a good woodpecker should!
Save for a horse or a brand new ranch, when you flock to the Glenboro Savings Branch!
You can feather your nest with frills! Fill your garage with Coupe de Villes!
Just relax if you have a big bill! What you can do...be a smart bird too! You little pecker, you!"
I can't wait to see her reaction to "The Jerk."
Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder almost worked together in Blazing Saddles. Pryor was supposed to play Sheriff Bart but the studio didn't want him so they went with Cleavon Little. The first movie where they starred together in was Silver Streak which I highly recommend.
Am I the only one who feels cheated by not getting the cop story at the end? 😂 Loved the duet in the reaction.
Great movie, must see 'The TOY' Richard Pryor.
Nnnnnno.
Richard Pryor was one of the Greatest stand up comedians of all time. Some would even say he was the GOAT. He is in Most comedians top ten list of their all time favorites. He was just great.
Craig T. Nelson and Jo Beth Williams; Dad and Mom from Poltergeist! Never noticed that. "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" same comedy, same duo, just as funny. Love this reaction! I saw this, well, around 5-6 years old when it came out and through the 80's. If it was on, we were watching it.
my list of movies that I would love to see her reactions to:
Deliverance (1972) (intense drama)
My Cousin Vinny (1992) (comedy)
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) (OMG)
The Hitcher (1986) (horror)
Goodfellas (1990) (intense drama)
Casino (1995) (intense drama)
Arachnophobia (1990) (cause she loves spiders)
Private Benjamin (1980) (comedy)
Overboard (1987) (comedy)
Death Becomes Her (1992) (comedy)
Stripes should be on the list as well
@@cee8mee dats da fact, jack
All good movies. Here's a few more:
Fargo (1996)
Sling Blade (1996)
O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000)
August Rush (2007)
Napoleon Dynamite (2004}
The Sixth Sense (1999)
A Few Good Men (1992)
Great comedic duo. They starred in about 4 movies together total. Pryor actually wrote "Blazing Saddles" together with Mel Brooks, but wasn't able to star in it as the sheriff since the studio didn't want to take a chance with his ongoing drug & alcohol use at the time.
See no evil, hear no evil another great Wilder/Pryor movie
They did a lot of movies together. Pryor wrote Blazing Saddlers with Mel Brooks and he wanted to play the sheriff character but the studio wouldn't let him.
The familiar cop guy was played by Craig T Nelson, who was the Dad in "Poltergeist".
13:31 JoBeth Williams played the Mum in Poltergeist as well.
You'll start to notice that a lot where the same actors appear in a same movies together. It's a movie studio / hiring agent / Director thingy.
And +1 for a reaction to "See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989)". It's one of my all-time favourite comedies.
Richard was one of the greatest comedy writers back then and there only 5.
It was a huge comedy hit when it was released December 1980. I remember lines to see that picture.
If there were a Mount Rushmore for Stand-up Comics, Richard Pryor would be on it. A pioneering comic from the 60s and 70s, he brought a gritty reality of black life to a wider audience. A tremendous talent.
I would highly recommend you watch "Richard Pryor: Live in Concert." It was the first feature length stand-up concert film (and still one of the best ever), and lead the way for all the stand-up specials that would follow from HBO, Showtime, Comedy Central, etc.
"I couldn't do it... I couldn't do it."
Of course YOU couldn't do it. You'd have to SIT DOWN. 🚽😂🤣
7:14 sounds like my car when I start it in the winter. On a sad note, the big guy who played Grossberger unfortunately passed away 5 years later of heart failure, he was only 34.
Now see another Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor comedy: "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" (1989). Great Fun!
MURDER! The blind guy couldn't see it. The deaf guy couldn't hear it. Now they're both wanted for it. The first drop dead comedy of the year.
Stir Crazy is the first film I remember where I actually stopped breathing because I was laughing so hard. The scene where he returns and finds Grossberger in their cell us in my top ten of all time.
As well as Craig Nelson you have JoBeth Williams who plays Meredith, and she played the wife in Poltergeist.
The film was also directed by the great Sidney Poitier.
Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor = Silver Streak. You'll love this one.
The Dynamic Duo Of Comedy.
RIP Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor 🙏🙏
Check out Silver Streak (1976). It was Wilder & Pryor's first movie together (though Pryor also co-wrote Blazing Saddles).
Another great Gene Wilder film is The Adventure Of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975). Wilder wrote, directed, & starred in it, along with Marty Feldman (Igor in Young Frankenstein) & Madeline Kahn. Also stars Leo McKern, Roy Kinnear, Dom DeLuise, & Kenneth Mars.
I just realized you didn't give us the dets. on the cop story, spill sister 🕵🏻♀️
Seriously, are you ever going to get to "Casablanca"? It's been quite a while since you said you'd do it. Much longer and you're going to forget its relevance to "When Harry Met Sally".
One reactor already did Casablanca, and still couldn't post it for a month because Warner was copyright-HOUNDING his hinder.
Although this reactor also hadn't heard of using on-screen watermarks, or of posting it on Patreon-only.
@@ericjanssen394 Thanks. I've actually seen two reactions online. Was hoping to see a millenial do one - especially since she said she was going to do it.
Gene Wilders love interest was also in Poltergeist. Richard Pryor co-wrote Blazing Saddles.
48 Hours (1982)
