"I even sashayed once, but that was in front of the draft board." I'll take really funny jokes I didn't get as a kid for $500 Alex.
The best day/worst day scene makes this movie for me. It's funny, sentimental, and sad all at the same time. Great screenwriting and acting from Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, and the late great Bruno Kirby.
I love the harmonica scene when he starts to play and he’s shaking.
Godfather 2, Donnie Brasco, Good Morning Vietnam….Bruno Kirby was brilliant.
@@NWAWskeptic Don’t forget The Freshman! He’s terrific there, and holds his own alongside Brando and Matthew Broderick.
@@NWAWskeptic Robin Williams is so incredible in Good Morning Vietnam that people often overlook the other great performances in it. Bruno Kirby as Lt. Hauk is incredible lol
@@KS-xk2so I agree. Some great performances from Williams, Kirby, JT Walsh and Noble Willingham. And all have sadly passed away.
It's rare that a movie about a man's midlife crisis is this good, much less one about THREE men's midlife crises, but City Slickers makes it work. So funny and quotable but also so deep and insightful. Easily my favorite Billy Crystal movie these days, just so good. And I LOVED watching y'all react! Of course you want a calf now! :)
"Wild Hogs" With Tim Allen, John Travolta, and William H Macy comes to mind
Oddly enough, my favorite scene is the Phil's breakdown scene. A man wounded by life and his own choices openly weeps in front of his friends, maybe thinking about ending his life and his friends hold him up! They don't mock his pain nor breakdown. They tell him to not give up hope. It made an impression on me at a young age.
Same. That scene impacted me the most as a kid.
‘Well, the impact just drove them into the ground. We just covered them up with some dirt.’
Never fails to make me laugh. Don’t know how Helen Slater kept a straight face after he said that.
Helllooooooo is a common notification call in our family. If you’re not paying attention and someone wants you, you will get the hellloooooo.
I've always used the hellooooo when I'm on the phone and the call drops.
“Hellloooo, Norman!!!!???”
My kids spent their lives wondering who Norman was.
Back when computers were fairly new, I figured out how to add sounds to various functions. So when the PC would pop up an error message, I set it to say, "Hellooooo."
@@ejtappan1802 Dang. That hit me deep. Especially if you had a CD of sounds to download to add to the various functions
The sequel to this movie is pretty damn good too.
Every time y'all post a reaction, I'm as happy as a puppy with two peters!
"What do I know him from?"
"Shane?" - blank expression.
"Hawk the Slayer" - that's the one!
😂
Yeardley Smith: gets her first period in 1985 The Legend of Billie Jean
Yeardley Smith: Loses her period in the 1991 City Slickers.
Bruno's monologue about his best/worst day is probably the best moment in the film for me. He absolutely knocks that out of the park. All three actors are excellent in that scene.
You guys left out my favorite part. The construction worker with "superhuman strength". "Don't walk where you're not supposed to because there might not be someone like me with superhuman strength to save your little ass". "And don't do drugs"!
Bruno Kirby was great in this. Also, when jack Palance (Curly) accepted the best supporting actor Oscar, he did a few one handed push ups. It was a sight to behold.
When Oscar's were worth watching. I haven't watched in over 20 years now
I forgot how much I love this movie!!! A childhood favorite and I'm in the middle of my own life do over, so I needed this so much! SILVERADO WATCH SILVERADO!!!!
Yeah, one of my favorite westerns
michelle peace: Yup, I'm doing the same thing. A thing that seems to be a thing now. haha
@@LA_HA Right! Who knew 'my life going to pot, and now I gotta pick up the pieces' was something that would be trending in the world right now. ☺️
@@floppsymoppsy5969 God, how depressing is that? hee hee hee... crycrycry.
haha
@@LA_HA 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Whenever I revisit this movie, I can't get over little Jake Gyllenhaal.
"Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off." - greatest eulogy ever
"She could've been the love of your life."
"She is."
I love that after that is when Curly shares his "one thing" philosophy of life. What we can take from it being shared after the exchange I mentioned is that for Curly, that "one thing" was Cowboying. He loved that life more than he ever could any woman really. So the perfect woman he remembers fits into his love of the Cowboy life. Mostly just an idea to keep you warm on the trail during those colder nights.
Lovely❤
"When I was alive I would've found her attractive." I forgot that line was in this movie, and Daniel Stern said it! The most miserable husband ever put to celluloid.
Matt, hold on to Emily.
She’s cute, she’s funny and she loves McClintock! I love the Duke and that’s probably my favorite of his. She’s a keeper.
So many great lines in this one.
"If hate were people, I'd be China!"
"We'll jump off that bridge when we come to it."
Aaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaahhhhhh! OMG, thank you. I’ve been waiting for someone to react to this one forever. Such an overlooked great comedy. If you watch The Fisherking, you’ll understand why Robin won over Billy. Personally, I think it is Robin Williams best performance ever. Make sure she’s got a box of tissue if you watch it.
May your views and likes always be equal.
Hope you guys watch Part 2 THE LEGEND OF CURLEY's GOLD...Definitely more comedy and John Lovitz is awesome .
Yes I agree 👍💯
The second one is my favorite!
7:55 "that's a good Yahoo son" is up there as one of my favourite line deliveries. Right up there with "Been a cop long?" from Cannonball run
"Do over...
Do her over a table"
🤣
Charles Bronson: "I don't die in movies."
Sean Bean: "Wait, what?"
Fun fact: Jack Palance, whom played Curly, won his Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and when he did, he impressed Billy Crystal by doing 20 push-up.
Before 1989 Batman and Tango & Cash , Jack Palance was a B movie actor , doing westerns like one with Bud Spencer , It can be done Amigo 1972 .
It Can be done Amigo , uses party same sets than Sergio Leones , Once upon in time in the west , Man with harmonica 1968 .
it's the railroad station with tracks going nowhere , it was still on place 4 years later , and of course Sergio used it as 2nd unit director in , it can be done Amigo .
One-armed push-ups, at that.
Jack Palance played such a bad ass in Shane, that a dog that is in the bar gets up and leaves every time Jack Palance comes in the bar. Also. In Shane ,Jack Palance is listed in the credits as Walter Palance
I also know Palance for playing the villain in film noir "Panic in the streets" (the lead was Richard Widmark).
@@ThreadBomb "Panic In The Streets" is oddly and sadly relevant nowadays. Fun fact: Zero Mostel, who plays one of Palance's buddies in "Panic", is the father of actor Josh Mostel, who's in "Slickers".
Emily made me think of 'Good Morning Vietnam' with that "greetings and salutations" intro.
Great review! City Slickers 2 is funny as well and has Jon Lovitz in it lol
I was 17 when I saw this the first time, and it has always had a special place in my heart.
I think the "best day-worst day" scene always got me the most. And l love the soundtrack :)
i saw this movie at a drive-in when i was 13 and haven't seen it since. i kinda forgot how good it is and just how emotional it can be. thanks for the reminder!
Mitch's daughter is Billy's own daughter. I always use "we'll jump off that bridge when we get to it". I never realized where I picked it up. I always considered it positively, like don't worry until you have to, live in the moment.
Lord, We give you Curly. Try not to piss him off.
I don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure the script writer had a Zen story in mind when he or she wrote the "one-finger" scene. In the Zen story, a young monk asks the master to teach him. The master holds up a finger, and the young monk becomes enlightened.
The story is Case 3 in the Mumonkan (the Gateless Gate), called "Gutei's Finger," in case anyone's interested.
City Slickers' music is vastly underrated.
I love this movie so much. I'm with Matthew in that I liked it when I was younger, but have appreciated it more as I've gotten older.
One of my favorite lines is when Ed is talking about the target parachute jumping, where the chute is half the size, so you're travelling twice as fast, and Mitch says "Great!! So when you die, they can bury you in a Sucrets box!" I tell that bit to some of the younger people I work with and I end up having to explain what Sucrets are and how tiny the box is.
Okay but Emily watching The Fisher King is an experience we all deserve.
I second that!!
I agree!! That’s my second favorite movie of all time!
Terry Gilliam movies in general do not get enough reactions. They're such interesting and fun movies!
These 2 movies are some of my favorite comedies EVER! I'm so happy this was on the list!
also @05:15 My brain exploded because I've been watching this movie for 20 years and had no idea.
My absolute 100% favorite scene is trying to explain to Phil how to watch something on one channel and record something on another.
As my mom got older I began thinking of this scene every time I tried to teach my mom to use Roku, Fire Stick, etc.
I'd always start out acting like Mitch but after about 30 minutes I'd turned into Ed...
"Just forget it! You're not gonna get this! The dog knows how to stream things now!"
Also love -Ben and Jerry's- Berry and Ira's knowing the right ice cream for every meal scene.
I also love City Slickers 2! That movie was a box office and critical bomb, but I say it's a really good movie! Just allow for the ridiculousness to go up a couple notches, embrace that and don't hold it against the movie and I think you'll enjoy it.
Best Regards!
I enjoyed this one, but I'm on the rare occasion that I loved part 2, more!!
Summer movie season use to have more of a meaning and this was in the middle of it, coming out after "Backdraft" and the week before "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." I almost forgot about the sequel and I know I've only seen it once. Summer of 1994, it got lost in the shadow of "Maverick," "Speed," "Forrest Gump," "True Lies."
I remember being about 14 and in a theater.. This, Backdraft and Hudson Hawk.. Can you guess which I picked? Lol...
12:08 Not even movie romance loathing Emily is immune to Curly's story!❤❤❤
Yay! You did one of my favorites! 😊
And I totally saw her asking for a calf coming
Now you should react to Throw Mamma from the Train. Him and Danny Devito together. Worth the watch
Though he's only in the 2nd act, Jack Palance steals the movie for me. He's so chilling and menacing as Curly, and yet wise and honorable.
You got to LOVE his performance in the sequel.
@@memnarch129 Yup! He's great in everything.
Thank God they brought him back!
He won the oscar for the role.
I haven't seen this movie in 31 years, but I remembered the baby cow's name was Norman. I can't remember the names of the people I work with, but Norman I remembered.
Priorities
Jack Palance was awesome. I want to be him when I grow up. LOL
Glad to know y'all from Mississippi, I lived in Clarksdale, for 19 years, will always have a special place in my heart, remember driving the levee, and seeing herd after herd of cattle
You think Norman is cute now. Wait till you see how cute he is in in City Slickers 2.
This was a damn good movie, you kinda have to watch this one to get pt. 2...and I loved part 2!!
I was excited to see you were watching City Slickers! This is one of my favorite comedies ever since I was a kid. Among the many influences, I do frequently imitate the drawn out "Hello" Billy Crystal does throughout the movie, especially any time I answer the phone and someone doesn't respond right away.
Now you should watch City Slickers II. It's not as good as the first but still a lot of fun.
In 1987 I completed weather school for the Navy. I took the train home for leave and saw the most beautiful lady I have ever seen in my life onboard. She had dark eyes, a deep golden skintone, wore a denim dress, long straight ebony hair, and had an air of elegance. Perfection. When I got home, Dad asked about my train ride. I told him what I typed above. He asked if I talked to her. I smiled and said, "Nope...the trip was perfect." When this movie came out, daddy called the weather office and asked to speak to "Curly Joe".
I got to meet Jack Palance where we lived in Tehachapi (he had a ranch there). It was New Year's Eve, and I was working at K-Mart there. He came in with his niece, and stopped near me. He smiled. I was wearing a suede leather jacket. I said to him, "I hope you have a Happy New Year, sir." He couldn't hear me at first. He was hard of hearing. I repeated myself. He said, "I hope so." Then he looked closer at my jacket, and rubbed the sleeve between his fingers. "That's nice." Jack said. Then he moved on. This was 1999/2000.
It took me a while to id Mitch's wife Barbara as Patricia Wettig. She is best known, I think, for her role in the 80's drama Thirtysomething. Don't know if it's available for streaming but it is excellent. Highly recommend.
She's married to her Thirtysomething co-star, Ken Olin, who's a TV producer now ("Alias", "Sleepy Hollow", "This Is Us").
Jack Parlance (who plays Curly) played the head villain in "Tango and Cash".
Believe it...or not!
And the mob boss Grissom in "Batman" (1989)
I forgot how good this movie is!
Also, the girl playing Billy Chrystal’s daughter is really his true daughter.
My dad was a cowboy (grandparents owed a ranch). At any given point, they ran between 5k-10k head of cattle, on thousands of acres, about half of which were in the flood plain of the Mississippi river. Whooooole lot of cowboying needed there. He LOVES this movie!!! (And is an unrepentant snob when it comes to steaks.)
I was in my very early teens when this came out, and definitely got a bit of a crush on Jack Palance....
"Go ahead, call him! I'm sure he's home. It's his night to be with the other escaped Nazis!!!"
Gets me every time! 😂😂
So glad you did the movie. One of my favorites and rarely gets any love online. I'll be interested to see if other channels start reviewing it too, now that you have done it.
My jaw hit the floor when you said you recognized Jack Palance from "Hawk the Slayer" 😂 I can't believe I'm not the only one who remembers him as Voltan!!
Jack Palance famously did a one-handed pushup when he won an oscar for this.
This film is so much heavier than I remember. When my step son went off to college, I gave him the "One thing..." Speech.
I think the extra weight, at least for me, is when it came out I was 11 and the movie was just a funny buddy movie. Now, in my 40s, I relate to the characters more.
“Never change.”
Yep, agreed.
That was soo wholesome!
City Slickers 2 is a gem too.
This is a factual anecdote, without embellishment or hyperbole: I worked at Dune Plaza Theater, in Michigan City, Indiana in 1991, when this was in the theater. One Saturday, night, one of my dearest friends on the earth, fellow usher, climbed up the marquee and changed it to "Sh*t Lickers".
On the way back to work, about 2 in the afternoon, it was still up there. I asked him, in tears, laughing my ass off, did you do that!? And he was was like DIES ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING.
One of my 90s favorites. The sequel is just as good too, can't wait for that reaction
27:18 I actually live a couple of miles from where Mickey Mantle was born and lived for the first few years of his life.
It's in the middle of nowhere, by a secluded lake. The only thing in that tiny town is a post office and a few houses. The road that goes through the town is named after him. I learned about it after my high school English teacher told us about it, and showed us the baseball movie "51" (I think that's the name).
Kinda mind blowing to think someone so prominent originally from my area, in the middle of nowhere. I remember telling my dad about it. He didn't believe me, and told me, "Nah, that was a different Mickey Mantle," as we were watching a documentary on TV about him. Then they showed an image of his driver's license in the documentary, and his address was the tiny town near us. 😆 Then my dad finally believed it. Kinda blew his mind, which doesn't happen much.
The conversation between Curly and Mitch, Ben telling Steve "Ride with me, and it will still be fun" and Phil's big scene are my favorites. Yeah, I would rate it a 9 except not enough Jack Palance too.
My kitchen sink is leaking right now, so I gotta run to Ace Hardware for some washers.
Matthew: "Just one thing."
Emily: ?
It's okay, Em. You'll get it later.
“If hate were people, I’d be CHINA!” Followed by that sudden head turn …. My brother and I used to utter that ALL the time (followed by “let’s bring out the cake!”)…. Awesome memory.
The scene where Mitch is trying to explain to Phil how the VCR works and he's just not getting it and Ed just chimes in cause he's had enough always cracks me up.
Agreed 💯. I would have loved to see Emily's reaction to that.
City Slickers 2 is my favorite of the pair. But both are great films.
Cookie was Bob from Batman and Malik from Conan the destroyer.
21:31 "What? Did you get a dog?"
😏 Not exactly.
"We got a dog?"
😏 Nope.
"Everyone, this is Norman."
I can _promise_ you, no one _else_ in their social contacts has one of _these._
14:06 "Lord, we give you Curly. Try not to piss him off."
Oh, the Lord does _not_ want an irate Curly on his hands. I _promise_ you that.
My cat hated lizards. I saw him run halfway up the side of the house chasing a lizard.
Just realized Cookie the cook is Bob the Goon in Batman.
Tracey Walter. I liked him as the clairvoyant homeless man Angel on Don Johnson's second cop show, "Nash Bridges".
For some reason I thought this was going to be "The Cowboy Way"... Didn't realize these were two different movies, so thanks for watching and reviewing this. I would never have actually seen it!
I'll be watching this as soon as I get off work; wish I was able to catch the premiere live! Hope you guys (and chat) have a great day. Thanks for all of the uploads! 💜💙💚
Don't have a cow, man.
The short woman is Yeardley Smith, voice of Lisa Simpson.
9:32 Now if you can start remembering their names, and you'll have it all nailed down!
Great video!
At the beginning the cat said... Please don't introduce me in this until I'm ready.
It’s so hilariously ironic that one of the horses was named Skyrocket.
"She said the THING!!!!" heh heh That was a fun little surprise. Now, can I out do myself? That, is the question!
I love this movie. So glad you did a reaction
Jack Palance won the Academy Award for the role of Curly, and then to prove that old doesn’t mean infirm he did one handed push-ups
One of my favorite movies ever. Definitely in my top 10. It's got everything. Cowboy action, horse riding, quality comedy, quotable lines, charming, insightful, sentimental, the so lovely Helen Slater, made me discover Billy Crystal who became one of my favorites, Daniel Stern at the top of his game in something else than Home Alone, and the music, I love everything about this movie. I still use Crystal's Helloooo quite often in my day to day life. Thank you guys so much for reviewing City Slicker. The only thing I wish you had add to this video is your reaction, if any, to the tape recording argument, Kirby's line "the cows know how to tape now" kills me every time. Hope you'll watch the 2nd one too. It may not be as powerful but it's quite entertaining.
"He ate bacon at every meal. You can't do that!"
So you mentioned Billy Crystal thinking Jack Palance looking like a vampire when they met at the bar (29:03). Well, Jack did play the king of vampires in Dan Curtis' 1974 TV Movie: Dracula.
You guys have to do City Slickers 2. Yes it's a sequel but this one is almost as good if not better in some ways because we get an extra bonus of John Lovitz!!!!! Who does an amazing job. Hope you get to it.
Peace
If you like this kind of humor try Captain Ron with Kurt Russell (Big Trouble in Little China) and Martin Short (Three Amegos)
One of my favorite comedies, full of excellent advice and sayings. And some of the best comedy writing in modern film history.
Thanks you two, I never really liked this movie in the past. But your reaction made me appreciate this movie a little more.
This is definitely one of my favorite Billy Crystal movies. It's right up there with Running Scared
Same here
17:29. Whenever we drive down a highway that has cow farms, I ask my wife to stop there so we can pick up a pet bull. She says, "One bull in the house is enough." Have no idea what that's supposed to mean.
Jack Palance's acceptance speech for his Best Supporting Actor Oscar is iconic.
Recently discovered that the son dentist was Mr Mosby from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Suite Life on Deck, and now definitely hear it in his voice.
always been a sucker for the 2nd one growing up.
Oh man I laughed and cried watching this, it’s been far to long since I last saw this and it’s sequel. I think I will have to rectify this fact real soon.
"....we are being led into the wilderness by a lunatic!"
"He's behind me, isn't he?"
best comedy/drama EVER for me. it's complete. humor is not forced. good script. real-life situations with substance. 9/10 for me too (that means i don't have a 10/10 for this genre)
great Friday, both of my favorite movie reactors doing two of my favorite movies
Please do City Slickers 2,you will definitely love that one
9:30 "Well see ya in Colorado."
🤔 I've seen this movie, but it didn't occur to me to wonder until now. How did these guys manage with the interstates?
