Sir John Gielgud's performance in this film is definitely why he won The Oscar he deserved. Dudley Moore's performance is a thrill. Rest in Heaven to them. 😢😢😢
I know it was billed as a romantic comedy and mostly focused on that relationship but I loved the relationship between Arthur and Hobson in this movie. They really were like a father and son. That Arthur decided to be the responsible adult and take care of Hobson at the end was quite touching. Arthur finally grew up because for the first time in his life he wanted to take care of someone else.
I didn't want this thing to get me all teary-eyed but it did. Growing up is never easy especially when you're a drunk. Redemption a second chance that's what it's all about... returning the favor
Hobson: Thrilling to meet you, Gloria. Gloria : Hi. Hobson : Yes... You obviously have a wonderful economy with words, Gloria. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.
While a rather sardonic individual, Hobson was eternally loyal and supportive to Arthur. It's unfortunate that the only person who cared about him had to die.
I miss both of them, too. Dudley Moore had a brain wasting disease that made his last years a living hell! With Arthur I can always remember hill when he was on top of his game!
When the orderly says he shouldn't be eating this stuff, and Arthur said he doesn't want his last meal to be Jello. He was dying, nothing could stop it. Let him have what he enjoyed.
Jesus christ. This made me sob so bad. It was just so emotional. Arthur really loves Hobson, and he wants to make Hobson's last moments to be enjoyable as it can be. It makes me think about my dad. It makes me think about hkw much of a selfish, hateful, abusive person I am. I don't appreciate the people around me enough. I don't deserve the things I have. I don't want it. Why?
@@JustinJack Jeez. I can’t believe I actually made this comment that long ago. Thanks for replying and thank you for giving that advice. I was overly emotional when I made that comment and I was just venting. It’s weird to know how much you can change in nearly a year, huh?
Arthur's love for Hobson was so pure. He gave up drinking by choice and took care of him hands-on, using his wealth to bring food and Hobson's bedroom stuff to make it cozy for him in his final days while he slept in the hospital bed. I think that's why Hobson and Bitterman are intensely loyal to him because they know that he's a kind soul within the drunken phase and knew he'd give it up for them.
So happy that John Gielgud won an Oscar for this performance. But how typical of Hollywood to award an Oscar to a legend of the British stage and screen for playing a butler.
I just saw this movie yesterday. This movie really sends a message. Arthur felt bullied, and manipulated by his family to marry a woman he didn’t love just to get his inheritance.when Hobson was dying he was the one to tell Arthur he needed to do what he wanted to do when he asked about Lynda ( Eliza Mennelli) at the end of the Movie Arthur decided to go with his heart and marry the woman he loved inheritance or not?
I loved this movie as a little girl..I was 7-8 when I first saw it..I loved it then,and now.. Btw what is "Kipper's and Egg's"?? I obviously know what Egg's are,but not Kipper's...😉
Did anyone ever catch what Bitterman said outside Hobson’s hospital room?? I think he was in Love with him and they just edited the crap out of movie where they were never in a scene together. Watch it and listen. He said it personally. Listen.
I agree they should have had Bitterman in more scenes as he had great comic sense. Bringing Linda home to Queens was hilarious. He played it to the hilt. There were so many supporting actors that hit home runs in this film, the florist. Burt Johnson, Linda s dad. I wonder if the cast knew they were on ti something special with this film?
@@sliat1981 Arthur himself is quite childish, and had been basically raised as a child by Hobson. The gifts were intended to be memories of sillier times when all was well.
The best gift Arthur gave to Hobson was letting him know he was loved. Hobson had always taken care of Arthur despite Arthur's drunken and childish behavior. But now Hobson was ill and needed to be cared for and Arthur sobered up and took on the challenge. It was important to Arthur to let Hobson know he could count on Arthur to be there when it counted. That's love.
This is no doubt one of the absolute classic scenes in movie history.
Arthur... *you're a good son*

BigMike1975 a movie I can watch at Least once a year.
@@TheAlaska07Seen it dozen of times. It is and will always be my favorite movie.
Couldn’t agree more
Me too,I love this movie
"If I begin to die... please take this off my head. This is not the way I wish to be remembered."
Best line of the film.
Our sentiments also.
Oh no, he had so many
You're miserable?? I've got all this and I'm on a salary
My favorite line from Hobson is when he tells Arthur he loves him, bc Arthur had never loved anyone or had anyone tell him he was loved
(walks into Linda's apartment and looks around)....how revolting
This scene was actually genuinely heart warming. The bond between Hobson and Arthur was real.
It’s a movie
Brilliant reply!
You’d think they wrote it that way, intentionally, or something.

I love how he sobers up to take care of him ..
Happy Birthday Dudley Moore ❤️ Greatly missed
Great acting from two legends.
This film had heart. I don't know what they were thinking remaking it - with Russell Brand of all people.
Exactly! Can't just remake these stories without the beautiful talent of the true actors!
A poignant piece that's missing; "Hobson, what do you want?" "I want to be younger." Very touching, especially as we age.
I loved loved loved this part 💯💕😁😊
2 amazing, kind, very nice actors Rip 🌹🌹🌿🌿🕊️
I haven't seen this film in ages, but I still think about this scene every so often. Inspired work throughout.
One of best funniest and saddest scenes in Arthur Thnx for putting this on.
Rest in peace Sir John Gielgud And Mr Moore...
my favorite line in the movie. remember when we used to play hide and seek you never found me. Did you know I never looked?
Thanks for savimg this.. I had this up a long time ago... Loved Hobson a lot... He cared for Arthur more then Arthur's real father...
Hobson could of secretly been Arthurs real father?
"Did you know I never looked?"
"Come on!"
"Well... I looked a little."
If I begin to die, please take this off my head. This is not the way I wish to be remembered.
His timing is nuances amazing
When Hobson says im frightened and Arthur gives him the basketball for comfort then turns on the train, very sweet, almost brings a tear
"You purchased a choo choo?"
Hobson was more of a father to Arthur than his own.
And Arthur was just as much a son to him.
A very touching scene - hilarious as this movie will always be, it definitely has a serious theme to it.
" I'm very pleased! "
I think I'm the end Arthur actually considered him to be his father.
So heart-warming and REAL.
They don't make movies like this anymore and they never will. The re-make was an abomination.
The remake did not have Dudley Moore, John Gielgud, Liza Minnelli, or the incomparable Geraldine Fitzgerald.
@@thehair1474 The writing was terrible, as well.
@@mindriot91_96 as was everything else, as well.
They did a remake?
@@jec1ny in 2011. It was unwatchable.
Love this movie!
My fav movie

Sir John stole every scene he was in. Amazing.
probably why he won the oscar.
Your comment comes across a bit snide, Joe.
Elephant man great 🎥 to
Hobson: Thrilling to meet you, Gloria.
Gloria : Hi.
Hobson : Yes... You obviously have a wonderful economy with words, Gloria. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.
Good Luck in Prison....cracks me up every time 🤣
While a rather sardonic individual, Hobson was eternally loyal and supportive to Arthur. It's unfortunate that the only person who cared about him had to die.
And it's unfortunate that they actually died :(
Linda loved him,and so did his grandmother. Martha was a crusty old bird, but she loved him. The only one who could stop Burt from killing him.
I miss both of them, too. Dudley Moore had a brain wasting disease that made his last years a living hell! With Arthur I can always remember hill when he was on top of his game!
Gielgud deserved his Oscar nomination playing Hobson. Who didn't feel sad when Hobson died????
And he WON too.

Don't worry. Soon you'll have nothing and be happy.

Get psychiatric help. Jesus.
Cried when he died

"You puhchased a choo-choo?"
"If I begin to die, please take this off my head. I do not wish to be remembered this way."
That choo choo line is my favourite
"I'm very pleased"..
Wonder what Hobbinson died of in this 🎥 hes so vibrant
father fiqure to arthur so sad
Exactly.
Sad part Arthur also died in real life of 🥃 Dudley Moore
This was a great movie. Still is. Don’t watch the sequels, however.
Great line. :)

Very good! I'm very pleased!
Easily…
One of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
And I have seen them all.
Whether they were funny or not.
And this one is…
dying has never been funnier
You purchased a choo-choo?
Miles Jolly That line always cracks me up
@@ericburns5125 yeah me too, I need to watch this movie again, haven’t seen it in awhile
I looked a little.
Great day's
If I begin to die - please take this off my head
Best friends..
Father and son, were Arthur and Hobson.
Hobson really liked the Choo Choo.
Did you know i never looked😅
I loved this movie as a little girl..I was 7-8 when I first saw it..I loved it then,and now..
Btw what is "Kipper's and Egg's"?? I obviously know what Egg's are,but not Kipper's...😉
Kippers are smoked fish. Britishers eat them. Typically breakfast food.
❤️❤️❤️💯
Lutece' was an incredible restaurant
He was cool!

And the bitch of it is, in real life, Dudley died before sir John
I understand authur took care of them because they took care of him as a child
Hobson was a father figure for Arthur because he worried how Arthur would do with his life...sounds like a parent.
If I begin to die please take this hat off my head this is not how I want to be remembered
💯👍
That's what the chu chu is for
Hobson could of been Arthurs Dad?
He was Arthur's Dad, it doesn't matter what science or paper says, Hobson was one who raised Arthur and was there for him throughout his life.
@@ericburns9132 EXACTLY!
@@ericburns9132 You got that right buddy. Blood means absolutely NOTHING. Trust me, I know. 👍🏼
What are the presents for?
Hobson was dying. Arthur was trying to cheer him up and let him know he was loved.
@@SciTrekMan yes but children’s presents?!
@@sliat1981 Arthur himself is quite childish, and had been basically raised as a child by Hobson. The gifts were intended to be memories of sillier times when all was well.

He's dying because he didn't ask God for help.. pneumonia kills him. 🪦🪦🪦⚰️⚰️⚰️
Hey thank you for everything Brendan! Here’s something for you: th-cam.com/video/ZFgro4GnnT4/w-d-xo.html
I actually liked the reboot too.
Dumb but underrated film.
Underrated, I'll give you that. "Dumb"? This is one of Hollywood's finest movies.
Russel Brand did it better
Brand sucks as an actor
A better movie than the crap out there today
I love this movie
