Absolutely one of the most underrated films of the 1980s, definitely classic. Great to see the love for it in the comments.
RIP Donald Sutherland.
And John Heard
@@larrylollis5875 Heard what?
The actor from home alone
Catholics allowed their children to be subjected to this kind of child abuse?
I don't understand how or why they are allowed to exist as a "so called religious organization"!
But, as a major part of Babylon The Great, the world empire of false religion, they will soon be destroyed by our Heavenly Father. He will not stand to have this kind of corruption, that even today, I imagine, continues to exist in the schools across the world.
Parents need to be held accountable too.
This is probably his most overlooked role. He plays a chill, somewhat sympathetic, and no-nonsense headmaster, but realizes in the long run his impersonal approach at the school and overlooking a nasty and sadistic brother is causing a lot of trouble with some students.
Andrew McCartney was such a heartthrob so dreamy😍 I felt like a school girl watching him again . What a great 80s throwback . What a time to be alive ❤
No joke
Hi
WOODSTOCK WAS IN 69!
In this movie, he was a nice young man just minding his own business trying to survive the hostile and rigid environment of that school with a punk and nasty brother trying to bully him. And a chain-smoking, opinionated grandmother making his life choice for him to be a priest. He turned out to be somewhat of a hippie later on.
I don’t understand how this movie is never mentioned when people talk about brat pack movies .. one of my favourite underrated pictures along with the flamingo kid
I saw it on HBO around 1986 and couldn’t believe classmates in high school had never heard of it. I saw the guy that stared in Class, a copycat of Matt Dillon previously in that cheesy HBO movie No Big Deal (before Platoon), the daughter in Vacation, and one of the punks from Christine playing a snooty intellectual. And Donald Sutherland basically playing himself as a chill headmaster that overlooks a mean and nasty brother, but finally has the guts to take action and remove that toxic POS and let Timothy, a much kinder and friendly brother take over. Kevin’s father in Home Alone a few years later.
And a role I really overlooked and liked was that monster, Brother Constance. I didn’t realize that was the same man that played the dishonest cotton buyer and salesman in Places in the Heart that was also a KKK member.
As an individual who suffered from the corporal punishment whims of parents and teachers during the 50s and 60s the punishments suffered in this movie are only too vivid.
I am not ever saying I was innocent but some of the times I was reduced to tears and degradation and worst of all the humiliation was almost unbearable. Then to walk into the play ground and be bullied. Life in school was so wonderful.
Is it any wonder I joined the navy at 16? I needed out of there. At least the navy gave me purpose and solid structure without physical pain and humiliation.
I also learned to hide my transgressions better.
My first husband went to a Catholic boys home in the 1950s because he was severely hyper active and they didn't understand how to deal with him. He told me a lot of personal stories about how they were all treated 😢
Can’t thankyou enough for posting this gem. I’ve been wanting to watch this movie again for such a long time because imo it was the best 80s movie & was hugely underrated.
1:28:31 He opens the bag and sees the statue's head in there, right when Bro. Thaddeus says, "What is AHEAD for you is extraordinary" ... perfectly timed.
I have to admire the chubby guy. He may get name called but hes still superior and exudes a certain confidence because of his intellectual ability and eloquence.
You mean Ceaser?
Okay, i think I have the answer to the tap shoe question. This is unfamiliar now, because most neighborhood cobblers are a thing of the past. So since people were using traditional shoes, in other words not constantly wearing sneakers, the heels on your shoes needed to be changed when they would wear down on the concrete. So to extend the life of your heels, the shoemaker could add a tap to the heel. The tap could be rubber, more discreet, or a metal tap, very noisy but your heels would last almost forever. Remember most people were pedestrians, not driving constantly, so maintaining walking shoes in good condition was a thing people took seriously. Hope that helps. The little details that make this movie work! 🎭📽️🎭
Metal taps were banned in my school,too noisy on the marble stairs. Yes, I'm old.
So I guess one way to announce yourself as a bad ass, a trouble maker, was to tap down the hallway. A whole other spin on things.
@@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288 It was the early 60's us girls started to challenge the locks on the cages we were put in.
Yes, we had taps put on our shoes. Cobblers could also do repairs and re-sole shoes.
As a former Catholic boarding school inmate, i cant watch. Its too accurate.😮
So Sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully it didn’t taint who Jesus is &that you know him apart from the Catholic Church and the disappointments of any church.
@@crkayne7445 it was jesus that was evil. HOW can there be a jesus and et cetera, when innocent children are brutalized by alcoholic monster. There is NO poofy boss who will save you when you die and rot and turn into other things. Love could NOT have evolved were it not for death, and NO priest i was ever unfortunate enough to meet since earliest life through now, was a good person, but only a fkn monster attempting to violate and rule over children.
And the theocratic monsters trying to destroy my nation are worse.
@@crkayne7445 ive made my peace with God. Bless you .
BEAUTIFUL, SENSITIVE, HUMOROUS
Engaging from beginning to end, relatable, not just a walk down memory lane but a presentation of what life can be when we are real, alive, awake.
Yore on weed?
I had very low expectations before starting this movie, it changed my mind...yes, all of anxieties and stressor of teenage life, but took me back to my days too. I felt many of the same emotions and actions as some of these youth. Reminding myself....not to judge before actually knowing what is going on. Nice movie. Thank you for posting
such a classic, must have watched this 1000 times when i was a kid....
Great movie, excellent cast but the story line for me confirms the brutality in many Catholic schools and institutions which still exist to this day!
This was not exactly a Catholic school, it was a Franciscan Friars school. A more strict environment. And, having spent K through 8 in a Catholic school, I can tell you Catholic schools are not at all like what you see in Brother Constance. There were strict rules, but never once was corporal punishment used. You think that could be gotten away with today? Today if you so much as hurt a kid's feelings with a look and an unexpressed thought they'll arrest you for "abuse". Once upon a time 50 or 60 years ago, schools were allowed to discipline kids harshly. But, that has not been the case in at least 50 years. Today, you can rest easy knowing that young kids are being psychologically damaged in the safety of public schools, being told there's no such thing as boys or girls, and that they can choose their sex. By comparison it makes a school like St. Basil's look like a spa.
@@e.l.nortonI went to a Catholic elementary school in the early to mid 80s. Like many then, it struggled with resources and enrollment. Corporal punishment had been eliminated several years before I started, but it was still a suffocating, dreadful environment, especially for a smart skinny kid who was skipped ahead in math 2 grades and 1 in English to incur the hate of three different grades. Bullying was rampant and it would have been worse had my older brother not been looking out for me. A 10 year old feeling trapped, full of despair and hopelessness, long enough to develop lifelong issues with anxiety and depression. Getting sent to public middle school was literally like being granted parole. Maybe part of the reason I enjoyed this movie this much and watched it many times was that I realized some kids may have had it worse than I did.
@@kpk33xOh, I'm so very sorry for the way the school had treated you.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to read your message.
Can you still put a formal complaint against these establishment?
Do you have someone to talk about it?
It's good to tell others, so you don't have to carry this heavy burden all on your own.
I'm very sorry for everything they did to you. 😢❤
Brother Constance: WHO ARE YOU CALLING ‘BARBARIC'?
Caesar: It’s whoM, Brother!
A right BASTARD he was
Constance had some serious issues. He played a rigid, prim, and stern brother, but got angry at any little tiny thing. But he was also around 30 years old and had probably never been laid. That probably had a contributing effect to his angry persona since he was still young.
“You got me, brother.”
John Heard did a great job but I can also see Bruce Willis playing this part.
I loved this movie. And thanks for sharing. As for me, born in Brooklyn, and growing up in New York in a STRICT Italian (and catholic) family - This is 110% accurate! In real life there were more cuss / 4-letter words! haha!
I went to a co-ed Catholic elementary school in the NYC area from the late '60s to the early '70s. Although we didn't have brothers, we had nuns and priests that beat us.
How were they not afraid of God? We had been always taught that God can see our actions, so how were they able to beat children? How could anyone bring themselves to do that, but to be a nun or priest, it's completely shocking!
Maybe God doesn't exist and they all know that.
Otherwise it's completely beyond my understanding.
I'm so terribly angry at them, that they did this to you!!
You should write to the Pope and describe everything that had happened to you and your friends, I assume.
Shame on the Catholic Church!!
Sending you my love. ❤
A comedy gem Andrew McCarthy and Donald Sutherland. Absolutely fantastic Donald Sutherland, rest in peace.😢
Who else came here after seeing the back to 80s post on instagram ?
Good Lord - Patrick Dempsey was so young
Back when movies were good
Ikr? Like most things of the 80's were... Best times ever imo😊
"There is a BEAST living inside of each and every one of YOU!" Thank you Father. Allow me to unleash my Beast! Roar! lol
Classic movie.....loved this as a kid. So happy to see this on here.
"Rooney" sounding much like his bully brother "Moody" (My Bodyguard). Lol. "Heaven Help Us" is definitely an underrated film. Really strong performances & soild writing!
That is a great movie, too !
I noticed that too. Love the parallels
I came here because of a PSYCH ep. Where Andrew McCarthy was mentioned, Shawn is always comparing people to the "Brat Pack" characters or actors😅...they mentioned Pretty in Pink ,but, since i already saw that movie..🤷🏻♀️ here i am..🤓
Brings back bad memories for me when I was in Catholic school. Especially the slapping scene.
I'm so sorry ❤
Thank you, thank you, for uploading this gem, especially with subtitles!
One of the best kisses ever filmed, with a little help from Otis Redding
beautiful, heartwarming, great actors - loved it! thank you for uploading!
Been looking for this movie for years 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a fantastic film. Kind of fascinating that it was a flop in ‘85. Perhaps the public wasn’t ready.
I saw it in the theater when it was released and thought it would be a big hit , but it became a cult classic.
Thanks for uploading that! Great movie.
I'd like to see how that cruel brother would get on in a classroom of young thugs as you would see in the Movie Dangerous Minds or To Sir With Love 2.
Blackboard Jungle.
Public schools vs Catholic schools
It has one of the greatest Soundtracks for any movie!!
Temptations, and other Motown giants!
Otherwise, the abuse is disgusting.
Love this classic. McCarthey great in Less Than Zero also
My first time watching this movie! Loved it
Must see film for anyone who went through the Catholic school system for 12 years…
Stuff o' nightmares.
It was the times and not reserved for catholic schools.
Ugh i know Catholic schools existed like this but that wasn't my experience in the 1980s in Chicago, so this is just a drag to see abusive mean priests and bullied teens. There were a couple sour pusses, but we had this great dynamic nun as a principal. She wore matching pant suits, and we had this bubbly "attendance counselor" who was like Kathy Najimy in Sister Act and a layperson teaching religion who was this cool lady, an activist for all kinds of social justice causes to help women, poor people, the environment and peace. We had fun, and were involved in lots of social justice projects, marching for peace for instance. We learned character using not only bible, but the Serendipity books by Cosgrove. I just had the best experience there so it's sad to see the ugly side of the religious experience for so many.
Thanks for posting this! Great movie! Great actors! Great dialogue! I love how everyone looked past each other's differences and united together 💖
Thank you! Been looking to buy and no luck. My childhood ❤
Excellent gem of a movie. Brilliant
the monk who liked to beat boys should be just chucked in an aliigator pit and eaten and munched by the alligators
Why! Its normal
I’d pay to watch that
2:50, that’s another overlooked character in the movie at the far left. A brother that’s unfriendly and miserable. He and another brother raid the soda fountain after school, at gym class when the boys are about to swim he listens to the radio and looks angry reading a newspaper, raids the soda fountain again, and tells the boys to sit down when the pope is about to appear.
home alone dad, president snow, Enchanted (+ others) guy, and Vizzini... how did you get here?
Thank you for posting this!! Only Andrew McArthy movie I hadn’t seen
I never even heard of it before.
1:14:42
"I've Been Loving You Too Long" plays
Jay Patterson that had the role of the mean and nasty Brother Constance should have been nominated for best supporting actor. He was cruel and in a very real way! His main target was the quiet and nice new kid in one scene.
And the man playing him was the dishonest cotton salesman and receiver in Places in the Heart. Sally Field bargains with him above market price, but later on puts on his KKK robes and terrorizes the black man, Danny Glover, along with two other men because he lost money in his business.
This was so good!
Would've been awesome if Sam Kinison played the priest who delivered the "Beast within you" speech at the dance
Great music, Great movie 😊
Love this movie thanx for sharing x
1:17:45
Michael and Danni's first kiss
Caught this one on tv over thirty years ago when I was around twelve, been thinking about it lately so thought I'd see if it was on TH-cam, guess I'll be watching this tonight. Great movie, was it released as Catholic Boys in the UK and Heaven Help Us in the States?
1:34:57
Michael shoves Brother Constance to defend Caesar
Hellz yeah I love this movie
Good movie ❤
Great movie! Thanks!
I haven't seen this movie for a long time. Yes!Andrew McCarthy is starring before he became a member of Brat Pack.
A most underrated movie from the 1980s!
In the UK this film is called Catholic Boys 😅
Why William is so cute ❤❤
Dun is so fine
Dunn?
I love this movie, any movie recommendations
i loveee this movie!!!
A true classic.
Thanks man!!👌🏼
Brilliant thank u
Imagine if that was now.. kids would freak out
Wow what a movie priests or not ,this was great!
Caeser reminds me of Gomer Pyle from Full Metal Jacket!😁
Reminds me of Dudley in Hollywood Knights
Always loved this movie,thanks for sharing :)
R I P DONALD AND JOHN
Still holds up.
I can't stomach the scene where the boys are forced to stand naked in front of "The Brother", knowing the sick crimes committed against children by The Church.
I desperately wanna know whatbhapppen with Dunn and the girl. Did they say and I’m being deaf?
They bumped into each other at Woodstock at Max What’s His Face’s farm.
Imagine what the school would be like if constance was the head master!😢
My "stern" middle-school teacher was Mister Howarth. Just as brutal! I still have half of his plastic meter stick he whipped us with (I use it as a straight edge in my tool box)!
Brother Timothy would have fragged him.
Thank u Thank u, SIP Donald 😢😢😢😢
There are a lot of brothers in this movie,brother.
1:30 "Oh sure . . . you're gonna reason with a grown man in a dress "
“Hardly knew ya! Hardly knew ya!” I grew up in the Archdiocese of Boston SCANDAL and COVERUP. I RAN as far away from Catholicism as I could get.
Hilarious!😂🤣
So funny.
The chorus line I mean the communion line
What a gas
❤
arkada sürekli şarkı çalıyor, başımı ağrıttı
Kevin Dillon is hilarious
I just don’t know how many students did abusive teachers would have potentially abused back in the old days.
Classic Movie
Donald Sutherland does not make a convincing Brother. My first observation.
I know, he’s too tight-lipped, without an opinion, and passive in a lot of serious situations.
Neither does the guy playing the Pope.
@@jondstewarthe's always the same in every film; he can't be bothered as they still pay him his fee.
@@E-Kat I did like him in this movie, though. He wants to do right, hang on to tradition, and keep the boys on the right track without coddling them. But he realized later on he turned a blind eye to a nasty and sadistic brother that was a total bully.
The depravity of the so-called "religious" never ceases to amaze me!
Yep, went to catholic grade school, much slapping.
Great movie.
Virgin Martyrs indeed.
Nuns got nothin' on these guys.
Constance was so evil
1:37:50
Brother Constance: What?
Brother Thaddeus: Take it wherever you want, Brother, just take it out of my office!
Real good movie, the first time for me. The thing is I get really mad when I see and hear these perverted sick priests, cant help it just so ill this catholic behavior. Thanks for the film.
1:25:50
Danni kisses Michael goodbye
1:36:56 that chair looks so comfortable
How far is the stick up there, brother Thaddeus? Does it tickle your neck
