I live in Charleston SC (where Bill Murray lives) and Bill is a god when he’s spotted somewhere but he NEVER lets it get to his head. he’ll come to a bar and get behind it to serve drinks, he’ll take pics with anybody that asks nicely, and he genuinely will make an effort to look/smile or something to everybody in the room so they have a memory. he’s a national treasure and I hope he lives on for many more years with a good bill of health
Thankyou my 80's brother, and Kung Fu movies carries on getting crazier if anything, Wutang VS Shaolin, Wu Tang VS Ninja etc.. Earlier movies he CLEARLY took from, Pai Mei and the white bearded master trope (Bwa ha ha ha ah!!!) - taken to crazy extremes, but well done in the afore mentioned movies.. So many amazing comedy horror (Reanimator - watch now if you didn't yet), inadvertent comedy horror, Kung fu, Trippy movies 80's- early 90's.. Lots of sweet shit there and lots online still! Sci Fi was good too, Dune,(Brain explodes.. Lynch did well imo), Naked Lunch, Existense, big budget kid stuff like Flight of the navigator etc in the 80's.. Very sugar, but was some very cool shit for kids heck- Krull?!? Gave me nightmares as a kid and is a family movie!!!! Yeah, lots of decent shit 80's, 90's (early certainly). No denying that boss man..
@@Unknown-rz1sj you’re 16 so we will let that slide. 80’s movies prob wouldn’t interest anyone who didn’t grow up during that time. But for us, those movies were part of our childhood
@@evanlitvak2234 so you think being a director makes you a better movie watcher than everybody else? I guess a person that makes baseballs knows more about the game than anybody else too? Ignorant way of thinking
@@6699230 70s movies were trash. They hold a special place for QT because those are the films he watched while working at a video store. It's nostalgic for him.
@@JN-Bellicose He grew up watching blackula. Son of blackula , shaft , black exploitation films. All his movies are exploitation movies. I can’t take his films seriously
In Ghostbusters he was just a silly prankster, in Caddyshack he was just a lovable dufus, a lot of actors get typecast to play a certain kind of character.
If you watch the full JRE episode in the first 10 mins he says he is currently putting together a podcast to do literally exactly what you just said - so wish granted :) He said it will be called "The video archives Podcast" which is named after the video rental store (Video Archives) he used to work at before he became a film director and hes going to host it with writer director Roger Avery who he wrote pulp fiction with as they worked together at the rental store.
To his point though...each of those movies are 'transformation' movies. The characters are completely different at the end than at the beginning, and they generally are not great people in the beginning. How many 80's movies are about good people who are somehow worse at the end of the story? They are all a 'marginal' or crappy person who gets transformed into an 'enlightened' form of themself.
I agree, my favorite movies are from the 80s. Taken as a whole it was a very commercial time when producers were calling the shots in the soul interest of making a buck. I also grew up with those movies, QT grow up with the movies he loves most. In the 90s the rise of independent film renewed that spirit of the 60s and 70s. Creative thinkers like Tarantino rose up and each infused the industry their own unique artististry.
In high school I knew a kid who was a huge Chevy Chase fan. He mimicked his mannerisms, facial expressions .... everything. He even talked like his characters and said crazy stuff when you asked him a question. It was crazy, but he was so good at it..
I love how Tarantino talks about movies. He discusses characters as of they're real people with backstory amd motivations. It's very rare to get this insight outside of the director / actor bubble.
Iago is a perfect example of a character. You can put him in any movie, book or TV show and he will be Iago just the same. His ideals and motivations fleshed out enough for the individual to be able to infer his response to any given interaction.
I’m a weirdo who doesn’t care about movies, but hearing anyone so passionately talk about anything is amazing & I’m 2 minutes away from watching the whole episode
His critique of ground hog day is pretty shallow though. He points to it as like a cliche movie where they just suddenly changed Bill Murrays character in the last 20 minutes for no apparent reason. The whole basis for the movie is kind of built around the spiritual concept of reincarnation - with each day he is given the chance to live a new and start fresh. He starts out before this as a bit of an selfish ahole - and then as the day reset starts happening he initially uses this to go and becomes a way bigger a hole and doing all the hedonistic things he can think of. Then he confronts the negative fall out from these. Then bored with the hedonism and negative fall out he wants to escape the loop. So he tries to be good to "escape" the day loop through going and just trying to do good deeds to kind of "appease god" or whoever is controling the time loop which also doesn't work. And then eventually he just decides he is trapped and not knowing what to do he starts creating genuine relationships with the people around him and getting to know them and actually begins to like and care about them - and finally at the end he basically lives the "perfect day". He goes and helps a lot of people and learns new skills not just to "do good deeds" to try to escape the loop - but just because he actually cares about them. This is what eventually releases him from the time loop. The movie arc is really powerful and not just some cliche "they made bill murray nice for the last 20minutes". It reminds me of the very serious estern spiritual movie "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring" only disguised as a Bill Murray comedy
@@David-_-_- You completely failed to hear what he said, as his criticism included it being relevant to the plot, just not meaningful to the enjoyment of the viewer, and this makes sense as you can still be sarcastic with that kind of wit while being a nice guy. They're not mutually exclusive, and so it falls flat on that part on behalf of the viewer even if it makes sense for the characters in the movie world.
Some pretty good 80s films The thing ,America werewolf in London, aliens, The evil dead ,blade runner ,full metal jacket, platoon Just some of my favourites
Both Chevy and Bill are legends. I will always have their 80s films loaded up in case I need a ‘pick me up’ ‘Vacation’ (not the crap remake) is one of the most well ‘layered’ films of all time. You can rewatch it many many times and the subtleties and Chevys brilliance will still surprise you.
I think one of the best moments with Chevy Chase was in Three Amigos where they were dying of thirst in the desert and Chevy’s canteen had all that water.
My top CC moment is in Spies Like Us when he’s doing the press conference and perfectly fakes a microphone cutting out. Bested only by Aykroyd’s code-breaking explanation: “just a simple polyphoneticaly grouped twenty square digit key transposed in booster vedonic form with multiple nulls” LEGENDS
I just remembered I met Bill Murray two separate times in this dream I had recently. He was a super nice guy and the second time we met he actually remembered our first conversation really well. Impressive.
@@Chasstful You ain't kidding. I had my film 'cancelled' at an Asian-American festival because I was a white director with an Asian woman in the lead. A small group of outraged college kids took to twitter and instagram and accused me of everything from cultural appropriation to fetishizing Asian women to white colonialism, even though my producer was a Korean woman and my co-writer was a Chinese woman. It seriously rattled me and made me never want to make another film. I can see why QT is walking away from it. They had a target on him during the release of Once Upon A Time.
i think he could do something really good with Chevy. Wait for Quentin to get a little soft headed so he more closely matches Chevy.. it has the potential for brilliance… we need to pull some more genuine 1970s asshole from Chevy
"Fletch Dies" needs to be Tarantino's final film. Imagine and ultra violent Fletch film with an old Chevy Chase at his wits end on one last caper that kills him.
I see Quentin's point and largely agree. The mass public is obsessed with feel-good watered down. The 70's was griity, real, intimate, not going for obvious, suble. 80's was bombastic, tearjerker but w/ neon lights telling YOU to cry!, stunts, explosions, RAMBO! I'm of the opinion is that there is room for both.
Well, I'd say calling the 80s too political is a laugh compared with the last ten years we've had to put up with. Those 70s topics and movies wouldn't be made today. A ridiculous level of milquetoast now.
Definitely room for both. I wouldn't underplay the value of personal growth towards compassion in a character arc. Cynicism shouldn't mean realism. Especially important at a time when people need hope. At the same time characters representing the moral greys are important, the world's not black and white.
I've always loved "The Razor's Edge" with Bill Murray. You never know what movie, song, book or TV show is going to grab you and this one just grabbed me and my Dad. My Dad was a Vietnam Vet with 20 years in the US Army from 1956 to 1976 and he was always thoughtful when watching it. He said that it was true for him.
Joe is right about Chevy Chase. I ran into him once in Runyon Canyon in West Hollywood and he wasn't very cordial. Sometimes it's best to never meet a celebrity that you grew up watching.
Chevy Chase is known be an a-hole off camera. He's one of those artists who are so good at what they do that they become super arrogant. Chevy Chase on Community was brilliant, but he himself ruined everything coz of the manchild he is♎
If he does manage to cast him, it would only be a small part since he is 78 now. BTW, I could feel Tarantino's discomfort when Rogan was talking negatively about CC. It felt like he didn't want to indulge in that kind of talk and he wanted to be appreciative of CC.
I love how Quinton Tarantino always shoe horns the William Devane movie Rolling Thunder into every conversation it seems like. It is a great movie but the last 15 minutes of the movie is so fantastic you can watch it three or four times over without it getting old
1950's: Sunset Boulevard, Streetcar Named Desire, Rashomon, Singing in the Rain, High Noon, Tokyo Story, Seven Samurais, Rear Window, Vertigo, Rio Bravo, Rebel Without a Cause, The Searchers, The Seventh Seal... 1980's: the most iconic decade for B-movies and action movies. Period. Tarantino is talking out of his ass.
12 Angry Men, Rebel Without a Cause, Singing in the Rain, Rear Window, Vertigo, Bridge on the river Kwai, A Streetcar named Desire, The Searchers, On the Waterfront, North By Northwest...etc Not sure what Tarantinos idea of terrible movies is but it sure isn't mine. The 50s had some of the greatest films in history.
I really hope Tarantino casts Chevy in a film. Would be so incredible to see a comeback for Chase like Murray had with Lost in Translation. Someone give that guy a script!
I think 70s and 80s movies are some of the best ones! Especially the 80s teen comedy movies! Like Fast Times at Ridgemont High! And when he talked about Stripes that's one of the greatest, movies ever!
Tarantino is to me one of the few,and best movie makers there is...his movies are so recognizable,fun,explosive.. and every movie he made had at least 1 scene that became legendary
“Withnail & I” & “How to Get Ahead in Advertising”, both written & directed by Bruce Robinson, are two of my favorite movies of all time. Both were made in the 80’s, and both are timeless, and in fact “How to Get Ahead in Advertising” is more relevant today than when it was made. You definitely need to look outside of Hollywood to find movie gems from the 80s.
Well in Withnail and I (SPOILERS) the guy has to move on from his crazy friend in the end. It's kind of what Tarantino is talking about: by the end of the typical 80's movie a clear moral position must defined. The main character must grow. Good movie though.
I personally like most Bill Murray movies. I like a good redemption arc, there’s a place for those in cinema. I also like Chevy Chase. Where would he reconcile Caddyshack in his theory?
I think Caddyshack was a perfect example of what Tarantino is talking about. Chevy's character is a laid back rich snob at the beginning, and stays that way till the end. He's helpful towards the young caddy, but he himself stays pretty much the same guy.
Even though I personally love Bill Murray movie, I totally see Tarantino's point. And I kind of agree with him. However, I will always defend Groundhog Day. In that movie, it totally makes sense why he changes radically. He repeats the same day for what some have debated that is possibly more than a hundred years. He comes to his wit's end and commits suicide a multiple times to no avail. Because of that, it is believable that he has an epiphany, a somewhat religious conversion experience. He radically changes. Now the others movies, I think the criticism is more or less valid.
there's absolutely nothing wrong for a character to better itself during the movie, it's called plot, Quentin is just an asshole who hates anyone that reaches a legendary status. one example Bruce Lee.
I explain in another comment how in each movie Quentin references that it makes sense for Bill Murray's character to change. Groundhog Day you hit it right on the head. Scrooged is just the old Christmas Carol story, visited by the 3 ghosts, he sees all of the wrong he has done, he sees his past, his deceased parents, he sees all of that... and it changes his outlook. And Stripes he had to go through boot camp. He got beat up repeatedly. He was introduced to discipline, hard work, leadership, structure, teamwork, etc... what the Army is supposed to do to someone. It makes sense that he would no longer by a cynical deadbeat lazy bum. Quentin must have a grudge against Murray.
Exactly, Groundhog Day has a lot of parallels with Scrooged (or to be precise A Christmas Carol), a story arc where a character sees the error of his ways and changes, that's the whole point. His analysis is nonsense, which is surprising coming from Quentin Tarantino.
Chase and Murray are my two favorite comedy actors. They have similar personas, yet each is unique. IMHO Murray has the the greater number of funny comedies, but some of Chevy's movies are funnier than most Murray films. Both are icons, and deserve their place among the classic silver screen comedians, with Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields, Buster Keaton, Woody Allen, etc..
@@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77 Was given amazing Star Wars art for my birthday. Amazingly, in walks Harrison Ford to the same restaurant (by himself; solo you could say). Having a few drinks in me and thinking this a cosmic coincidence, I meekly and humbly approached Mr. Ford as he was waiting to be seated and asked him to sign my artwork. He wouldn't look at me nor talk to me, and asked for me to be kicked out of the restaurant. The entire encounter lasted less than 30 seconds, but felt like a hellish lifetime. Embarrassingly, Ford was seated at the table next to my birthday celebration. He ended up meeting Jon Favreu; most likely discussing "Cowboys & Aliens" from the timeframe of it all. The only reason I wasn't kicked out of the restaurant is because I was staying at the hotel (Beverly Hills Hotel), and was a regular at the restaurant (Polo Lounge). After our meal concluded, I was literally escorted out like I was some sort of criminal, being admonished by hotel security: "Now we're not going to bother Mr. Ford again, are we?" Seriously, all that fuss and it would've taken 3 seconds to just give me his damn signature lol. My friends still tease me about the incident, though, so I guess it makes for a funny story.
Quentin was just entering adulthood around the start of the eighties. There seems to be a pattern around early adulthood where people start to become critical (almost hyper-critcial - the "hipster attitude") and more discerning about what they consume, so it's understandable he's so critical of eighties movies. The media people consume during their child and adolescent years is often viewed in an idealistic, uncritical haze. There is a correlation in the music realm. So many kids who grew up on late 60's/70's music hated 80's music, often complaining it was overproduced and too commercial. This is what led to the grunge rebellion in the early 90's.
Or you came of age around 2000 and figured out how to download movies from the 80s and 70s and see exactly what he's talking about.. "So many kids who grew up on late 60's/70's music hated 80's music" have you ever even listened to music from that era? You can pretty much chart the downward decline of rock music. You can go with your opinion and all that, but it's objective fact that guitar base music decline in popularity every year after 1977. "This is what led to the grunge rebellion in the early 90's." grunge was a product of innovation in recording technology. Starting in the late 80s, audio compression technology became common place. Before that point the only way to make a full sound was to play fast and busy guitar. When compression technology hit, slow tempo/down tuned guitars started sounding full. Grunge is just a branding it was literally nothing more than a change in production technology. "The media people consume during their child and adolescent years is often viewed in an idealistic, uncritical haze" Then you become an adult and can sample things on your own.
@@dixonhill1108 Yeah, right. So movies were all sunshine and rainbows in the 80's. It's not like that was the era of the "video nasty" and the dawn of such genres as body horror. The MXR compression pedal had been available since the early seventies. Led Zeppelin extensively used compression to create their signature sound (creating slower, heavier songs such as When The Levee Breaks). Even the Stones used compression. If the only thing that seperates 80's commercial glam/hair metal "cock rock" from 90's grunge/alternative rock is the technology, why then is the lyrical content so radically different? 80's hair rock is all about girls and partying. 90's grunge is far darker, introspective with existentialist themes.
@@pleasebeinteresting I can only take it that you are referencing the fact that I stated the difference in lyrical theme/ mood from 80's glam rock to 90's grunge/alternative and that that difference in theme and mood is applicable to Tarantino discerning between 60/70's film-making to 80's film-making. The point is no one mood/theme generally defines an entire era/decade. At the same time 80's glam rock was pre-occupied with more testoterone-fueled themes there were more serious and interesting themes being explored in 80's New Wave and Romantic music. Even a song as "poppy" as Nena's 99 Red Balloons is actually a reference about the 80's cold war (very applicable to now).
Chevy Chase had an addiction to pain killers due to his early slapstick pratt fall style. When you 're hurting your entire body is tensed up and therefore so is your mind. I've suffered minor and major injuries through my lifetime, unstable compression fracture of my L3 Vertebrae, a hip replacement, busted knee cap resulting in knee surgery and now diabetic neuropathy which causes me to tense up. I have to concentrate on relaxing my muscles and putting a smile on my face so people around me will appreciate my companionship.
I understand Groundhog day is technically "formulaic", but Bill's character actually earns it in that movie. Who knows how many years he had to live that one day over and over to become a decent guy? I think that one makes the most sense.
It might have very well taken centuries. Who knows. It might have taken an eternity but at the end he found happiness in being decent human being. That was the point of the whole movie. Not just to make pc ending in the last 20 minutes. It's really baffling that Tarantino can't get past "it's just a Bill Murray Movie".
@@mitchpowell608 yea but a trend that started in the 80s could have easily spilled over into the early 90s. I mean, look movies today? Pretty sure Tarantino thinks this is the worst time for movies ever and it's not the 50s or 80s.
I'm just discovering 70s films in boutique blu rays and whoa! I mean, I saw some as a kid, which I probably shouldn't have, but there is just so much there. And surprisingly, they almost all have amazing cinematography. They look better than some modern films. 70s B movies are my jam now.
@@jackprescott9652 I remember hearing that. Shame people throw out something, just because its old. Early digital is even worse, but it seems a minimum of 50% of today's films look "weird"
Quentin makes a great point about Chevy Chase, for me, Fletch is the best example of his point, the character never faulters from the start, always sarcastic, senseless yet smart, funny, and not surprisingly very entertaining..... Tarantino is the Tarkovsky of my generation.
80s was the best times for movies! Predator, aliens,monster squad, empire strikes back, return of the Jedi, legend, goonies, bloodsport, gremlins, American werewolf in London, silver bullet, fright night, a nightmare in elm street, childs play, ghostbusters and many more
See it's hilarious because I looks at all those movies like cheesy shitty movies made for braindead masses who can't handle complex storylines or character depth.
Raging Bull and Full Metal Jacket... both eighties films. On the Waterfront, Rashomon, A Streetcar Named Desire, Vertigo... just a few movies from the fifties.
What else do you want to know, how the titanic sank? Man, you need to update your references who cares. That community controvery has been adressed and revomitted to an unbearable degree.
Love Chevy and Bill dearly. Born in late 90’s so wasn’t around to experience their prime, but man I tell ya they don’t make em like that anymore. Caddyshack will always be my favorite movie of all time
80s movies are some of my favorite. 70s were a lot more gritty and also one of my favorite generations for films. But it’s the 70s and 80s are both my most liked generations for films
Yeah, I think the best films are from about 85 to 95, but some early 80's films were also pretty good, if not excellent in some cases, and even the late 90's had some great films too, it's sort of around the time the Matrix came out that it started to become just a bunch of Will Farrell comedies, Fast and the Furious shits, or regurgitated comic book hero films, with the occasional gem.
@@warlockofwordsreturnsrb4358 Alien, Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Star Wars V & VI, TRON, Stand By Me, Wall Street, Escape From New York, ROBOCOP, Top Gun, The Color of Money, Lethal Weapon, The Terminator....I can go on and on!
From the beginning I was in upside down world, it's his opinion, though, not any kind of immutable truth. I think the world will remember 80s movies as higher art than those gritty 70s movies.
@@guv8865 Ferris Bueller is a rich, privileged teenager in the Reaganite era who gets away with his tomfoolery and slightly transgressive behaviour . He's not oblivious and knows exactly what he's doing. And as I said, it's a subtle type of bullying and manipulation and he's a narcissist but of course, all this is played out in a comedic way so Ferris suffers no consequences for his actions.
I see it differently. For me, Groundhog Day is more about how the same things that happen to one every day can be seen as positive or negative depending on our attitude towards life and other people (are the colour of the glass we look thorough at them), rather than just a film about a guy who redeems himself. OK, the character redeems, but as a consequence of beginning to look at the same things with a different attitude. It is also about love. It is a funny film and very enjoyable.
That's a little extreme, in Groundhog Day Bill Murray's character was just a vehicle for the overall plot. Which is loosely based on Dante's Inferno. The journey into purgatory and hell and final assent back to the mortal plane. Also, you have the hero's journey which is common in most Western Cannon. In Huckleberry Finn, doesn't Huck learn valuable moral lessons for which the author intended? (Groundhog Day), Discovery, Acceptance, Despair, and finally Enlightenment; the character saw the value in the opportunity he was given to attain a form of Nirvana.
Yes absolutely, I love Tarantinos films, but this analysis is so unbelievably dumb. Scrooged for example is obviously a re-imagining of A Christmas Carol, the whole point is for his character to change his ways. Murray's speech at the end is really effective/moving. Groundhog Day is very similar also, the whole point is a redemptive arc for his character. Then consider Pulp Fiction, Jules starts off a ruthless/murderous gangster, but then sees the error of his ways and desires to change his life, after what he sees as divine intervention. That's not a million miles from groundhog day or Scrooged, in terms of an arc. Most of Tarantinos films have feel good endings, as opposed to the cynical 70s endings he supposedly prefers. Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, OUATIH. None have cynical endings, they all have happy endings of sorts, and in the case of a film like Kill Bill, the bride starts out as a ruthless assassin, and ends the film as a retired single mum. Like Jules she doesn't end her arc as bad ass as when she started, but that doesn't make her story just some feel good cop out. I'm baffled by his analysis, it's so stupid.
I love that movie! Bill Murry was great in that. Probably seen it 12 times. Richard Dreyfuss was great too. "Why don't you take a vacation?".. "I'M ON VACATION!!!" LOL
They need to remaster "Foul Play". Greatest movie that no one remembers anymore. You can't even download it. The whole movie is on TH-cam though. It has comedy, action, romance, murder mystery, suspense, great sound track, all star cast. Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Dudley Moore, Burgess Meredith, Brian Dennehy, Billy Barty. So great.
The 80s had some amazing movies. Every decade has. The “decent” movies are the ones that he’s talking about but even the formula of “asshole becoming nice” has always been a cliche. Not just one decade.
Yeah, the 80s had some awesome movies. In a lot of ways it was the beginning of modern pop culture that we would recognize today -- 1984 might have been the greatest year in pop culture ever. But there was a general social trend in the 80s of pretending it's the 50s again, just with a lot more cocaine. It was the era of rise of neoconservatism, after all. It was different from the 70s where you basically put your vices out in the open to a weird dichotomy in the 80s of wearing a suit and tie and putting on a front during the day and then doing rails of coke off a hooker's boobs in your free time.
I get what he’s saying about 80s movies but there were also some great flicks that delt with heavier subjects and themes: Scarface, First Blood, They Live, The Thing, Platoon. And so many more
00:04 The fifties brought us Sam Fuller -- and QT knows this! Never mind: Marlon Brando, Nick Ray, Welles's Touch of Evil, Kubrick (!), and... moving abroad... Ozu, Kurosawa, Bresson, Satyajit Ray, de De Sica's, Umberto D., Bunuel's return to directing (Los Olvidados)... the list goes on...

In the 90s the rise of independent film renewed that spirit of the 60s and 70s. Creative thinkers like Tarantino rose up and each infused the industry their own unique artististry.
In high school I knew a kid who was a huge Chevy Chase fan. He mimicked his mannerisms, facial expressions .... everything. He even talked like his characters and said crazy stuff when you asked him a question. It was crazy, but he was so good at it..
Was his name Ryan Reynolds?
@@thomasgow9475 nope
@@donaldgilbreath4200 You sure?
@thomasgow9475 I was gonna say it had to been ryan reynolds. Totally beat me to it.

I love how Tarantino talks about movies. He discusses characters as of they're real people with backstory amd motivations. It's very rare to get this insight outside of the director / actor bubble.
Well they are is why. Not real in the sense they exist in the physical world but the ideas that make them and their motivations are quite real.
Iago is a perfect example of a character. You can put him in any movie, book or TV show and he will be Iago just the same. His ideals and motivations fleshed out enough for the individual to be able to infer his response to any given interaction.
I’m a weirdo who doesn’t care about movies, but hearing anyone so passionately talk about anything is amazing & I’m 2 minutes away from watching the whole episode
His critique of ground hog day is pretty shallow though. He points to it as like a cliche movie where they just suddenly changed Bill Murrays character in the last 20 minutes for no apparent reason. The whole basis for the movie is kind of built around the spiritual concept of reincarnation - with each day he is given the chance to live a new and start fresh. He starts out before this as a bit of an selfish ahole - and then as the day reset starts happening he initially uses this to go and becomes a way bigger a hole and doing all the hedonistic things he can think of. Then he confronts the negative fall out from these.
Then bored with the hedonism and negative fall out he wants to escape the loop. So he tries to be good to "escape" the day loop through going and just trying to do good deeds to kind of "appease god" or whoever is controling the time loop which also doesn't work. And then eventually he just decides he is trapped and not knowing what to do he starts creating genuine relationships with the people around him and getting to know them and actually begins to like and care about them - and finally at the end he basically lives the "perfect day". He goes and helps a lot of people and learns new skills not just to "do good deeds" to try to escape the loop - but just because he actually cares about them. This is what eventually releases him from the time loop. The movie arc is really powerful and not just some cliche "they made bill murray nice for the last 20minutes". It reminds me of the very serious estern spiritual movie "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring" only disguised as a Bill Murray comedy
@@David-_-_- You completely failed to hear what he said, as his criticism included it being relevant to the plot, just not meaningful to the enjoyment of the viewer, and this makes sense as you can still be sarcastic with that kind of wit while being a nice guy. They're not mutually exclusive, and so it falls flat on that part on behalf of the viewer even if it makes sense for the characters in the movie world.
Speaking of Bill Murray I recently rewatched "What about Bob", that movie is freaking hilarious!
classic.
Baby steps
An all-timer for me and a few family members who can stand Bob Wiley
I loved it as a kid but tried to watch it again a couple years ago and it just made me irritated
Every time I watch the movie, I still can't put a finger on who has the real issues Bob or Dr. Leo Marvin?
Some pretty good 80s films
The thing ,America werewolf in London, aliens,
The evil dead ,blade runner ,full metal jacket, platoon
Just some of my favourites
Both Chevy and Bill are legends. I will always have their 80s films loaded up in case I need a ‘pick me up’
‘Vacation’ (not the crap remake) is one of the most well ‘layered’ films of all time. You can rewatch it many many times and the subtleties and Chevys brilliance will still surprise you.
The new one is awesome
@@day245 that little brother made the movie. I busted the fuck up at his antics.
Chevy was superb in ‘Spies Like Us’ in my view
Chevy wasn’t even funny in the vacations.
I love the old Vacation movies and the new one is funny too.
I think one of the best moments with Chevy Chase was in Three Amigos where they were dying of thirst in the desert and Chevy’s canteen had all that water.
We are the three aaamigoooooooos
My top CC moment is in Spies Like Us when he’s doing the press conference and perfectly fakes a microphone cutting out.

Stripes and Spies Like Us are 2 of my all time favorite comedies. Bill Murray and Chevy Chase will never be forgotten for their brilliance.
I just remembered I met Bill Murray two separate times in this dream I had recently. He was a super nice guy and the second time we met he actually remembered our first conversation really well. Impressive.
QT resurrecting Chevy Chase is the Hollywood twist I didn't know I needed.
QT wants to do one last movie. Imagine if Chase was the lead. lol
QT used Mike Myers, so he wouldn't be the first SNL actor he used.
I think zero people saw the John Travolta one ahead of time
No one wants to work with him because he's a massive dbag
This interview is literally going to give filmmakers the courage to say fuck it

@@Chasstful You ain't kidding. I had my film 'cancelled' at an Asian-American festival because I was a white director with an Asian woman in the lead. A small group of outraged college kids took to twitter and instagram and accused me of everything from cultural appropriation to fetishizing Asian women to white colonialism, even though my producer was a Korean woman and my co-writer was a Chinese woman. It seriously rattled me and made me never want to make another film. I can see why QT is walking away from it. They had a target on him during the release of Once Upon A Time.
As long as they're funding their own films
This is where everyone gets the learn the term "subjective".
Terentino definitely exercises that in this video
Love to see Tarantino casting Chevy chase in a big film and saving his career like he did with John Travolta.
i think he could do something really good with Chevy. Wait for Quentin to get a little soft headed so he more closely matches Chevy.. it has the potential for brilliance… we need to pull some more genuine 1970s asshole from Chevy
Chevy seems like he's retired now though. But I'd love to see that. I'm still a big Chevy fan.
Too late for Chevy.
Scientology saved John Travolta’s career! Tarantino was just an instrument.
"Fletch Dies" needs to be Tarantino's final film. Imagine and ultra violent Fletch film with an old Chevy Chase at his wits end on one last caper that kills him.
That's brilliant

I see Quentin's point and largely agree. The mass public is obsessed with feel-good watered down.
The 70's was griity, real, intimate, not going for obvious, suble.
80's was bombastic, tearjerker but w/ neon lights telling YOU to cry!, stunts, explosions, RAMBO!
I'm of the opinion is that there is room for both.
Well, I'd say calling the 80s too political is a laugh compared with the last ten years we've had to put up with. Those 70s topics and movies wouldn't be made today. A ridiculous level of milquetoast now.
@@500dollarjapanesetoaster8 Who’s calling 80’s movies too political?
Definitely room for both.
I wouldn't underplay the value of personal growth towards compassion in a character arc. Cynicism shouldn't mean realism. Especially important at a time when people need hope.
At the same time characters representing the moral greys are important, the world's not black and white.
I've always loved "The Razor's Edge" with Bill Murray. You never know what movie, song, book or TV show is going to grab you and this one just grabbed me and my Dad. My Dad was a Vietnam Vet with 20 years in the US Army from 1956 to 1976 and he was always thoughtful when watching it. He said that it was true for him.
If you haven’t, take a look at the book. It’s a great read.
Sadly, I read and fell in love with the book before seeing the film. Murray ruined it for me.
the movie was supposedly Murray's homage to Belushi....
Though the 80s was the decade for teen nostalgia films that are revered today - Fast Times, Ferris Bueller, 16 Candles, Back to the Future, etc.
Those films sucked.
It is commentary on this era that we revere and are trying to recycle 80's vanilla shit

Joe is right about Chevy Chase. I ran into him once in Runyon Canyon in West Hollywood and he wasn't very cordial. Sometimes it's best to never meet a celebrity that you grew up watching.
Metafilter had a post from a guy who got run down in NYC by a guy wearing an ascot. It was Chevy. Fuck that guy.
Unless it’s Jim Carrey.
Ya Know? Ya Know...Ya Know?!
Chevy Chase is known be an a-hole off camera. He's one of those artists who are so good at what they do that they become super arrogant. Chevy Chase on Community was brilliant, but he himself ruined everything coz of the manchild he is♎

Chevy Chase was absolut brilliant in "Christmas Vacation", that movie is a treasure!

Would love to see Chevy Chase in a Tarantino movie. Tarantino seems to bring back people's careers sometimes.
It worked for John Travolta.
@@TheGosslings It sure did!
I think with directors that have his clout, it would work. Read many times that Chevy's an a-hole to deal with.
@@rlross3706 I have heard that to unfortunately. Tarantino might indeed get the best out of him
If he does manage to cast him, it would only be a small part since he is 78 now.
BTW, I could feel Tarantino's discomfort when Rogan was talking negatively about CC. It felt like he didn't want to indulge in that kind of talk and he wanted to be appreciative of CC.
I love how Quinton Tarantino always shoe horns the William Devane movie Rolling Thunder into every conversation it seems like. It is a great movie but the last 15 minutes of the movie is so fantastic you can watch it three or four times over without it getting old
QT: 80's and 50's were the worse time for movies..."
2020's: Hold my woke-shake.

1950's: Sunset Boulevard, Streetcar Named Desire, Rashomon, Singing in the Rain, High Noon, Tokyo Story, Seven Samurais, Rear Window, Vertigo, Rio Bravo, Rebel Without a Cause, The Searchers, The Seventh Seal...
1980's: the most iconic decade for B-movies and action movies. Period.
Tarantino is talking out of his ass.
2020's PC culture 🤮🤮🤮
Not to mention that Groundhog Day is a masterpiece. Bill Murray's character arc isn't abrupt and undeserving as QT makes it seem.
Bill Murray is always likeable IMO
Not in king pin
i sense a bias
agree. Even in St. Vincent, when he played a total old man douche bag, he was likeable as hell lol
We can tell…
Coming from a guy with Murray as his profile picture. Lol
I'm so glad Quentin loves Chevy's acting and filmography
12 Angry Men, Rebel Without a Cause, Singing in the Rain, Rear Window, Vertigo, Bridge on the river Kwai, A Streetcar named Desire, The Searchers, On the Waterfront, North By Northwest...etc
Not sure what Tarantinos idea of terrible movies is but it sure isn't mine. The 50s had some of the greatest films in history.

I really hope Tarantino casts Chevy in a film. Would be so incredible to see a comeback for Chase like Murray had with Lost in Translation. Someone give that guy a script!
I think 70s and 80s movies are some of the best ones! Especially the 80s teen comedy movies! Like Fast Times at Ridgemont High! And when he talked about Stripes that's one of the greatest, movies ever!

And they all show his love for women with pretty feet

@@PeterParker-yg6fc He's talking industry aka mainstream and general trends, of course there are 80's that are "edgy".
Dude IS movies...
“Withnail & I” & “How to Get Ahead in Advertising”, both written & directed by Bruce Robinson, are two of my favorite movies of all time. Both were made in the 80’s, and both are timeless, and in fact “How to Get Ahead in Advertising” is more relevant today than when it was made. You definitely need to look outside of Hollywood to find movie gems from the 80s.
gracias papi
Well in Withnail and I (SPOILERS) the guy has to move on from his crazy friend in the end. It's kind of what Tarantino is talking about: by the end of the typical 80's movie a clear moral position must defined. The main character must grow. Good movie though.
Search:
Elon Musk meets Post Malone
😂 👽
There’s loads of great Hollywood movies in the 80’s, just not the blockbusters.
The original ending to Withnail & I was actually a lot darker but they were made to change it to one slightly less bleak.
Tarantino is encyclopedic in his knowledge of both the big and little screens. I would love to listen to him talk about either one infinitely...
I personally like most Bill Murray movies. I like a good redemption arc, there’s a place for those in cinema. I also like Chevy Chase. Where would he reconcile Caddyshack in his theory?
Good point. Carl was a freak until the end credits.
@@thomasmccormack9515 It was a cinderalla story
I think Caddyshack was a perfect example of what Tarantino is talking about. Chevy's character is a laid back rich snob at the beginning, and stays that way till the end. He's helpful towards the young caddy, but he himself stays pretty much the same guy.
Even though I personally love Bill Murray movie, I totally see Tarantino's point. And I kind of agree with him. However, I will always defend Groundhog Day. In that movie, it totally makes sense why he changes radically. He repeats the same day for what some have debated that is possibly more than a hundred years. He comes to his wit's end and commits suicide a multiple times to no avail. Because of that, it is believable that he has an epiphany, a somewhat religious conversion experience. He radically changes. Now the others movies, I think the criticism is more or less valid.
there's absolutely nothing wrong for a character to better itself during the movie, it's called plot, Quentin is just an asshole who hates anyone that reaches a legendary status. one example Bruce Lee.
Good point, if there is any character in the history of film who earns that kind of radical change it's Phil Connors.
I explain in another comment how in each movie Quentin references that it makes sense for Bill Murray's character to change. Groundhog Day you hit it right on the head. Scrooged is just the old Christmas Carol story, visited by the 3 ghosts, he sees all of the wrong he has done, he sees his past, his deceased parents, he sees all of that... and it changes his outlook. And Stripes he had to go through boot camp. He got beat up repeatedly. He was introduced to discipline, hard work, leadership, structure, teamwork, etc... what the Army is supposed to do to someone. It makes sense that he would no longer by a cynical deadbeat lazy bum. Quentin must have a grudge against Murray.
"Janine, sorry about the bug eyes thing. I'll be in my office."
Exactly, Groundhog Day has a lot of parallels with Scrooged (or to be precise A Christmas Carol), a story arc where a character sees the error of his ways and changes, that's the whole point. His analysis is nonsense, which is surprising coming from Quentin Tarantino.
I love Chevy Chase , glad to see him being brought up lmao.
Tarantino said he'd love to work with him. That would be cool.
The old National Lampoon movies are classics.
Same here. Big fan of Fletch, even the second one. And of course many others too.
He's very likeable onscreen.
Why is this hilarious?
Chase and Murray are my two favorite comedy actors. They have similar personas, yet each is unique. IMHO Murray has the the greater number of funny comedies, but some of Chevy's movies are funnier than most Murray films. Both are icons, and deserve their place among the classic silver screen comedians, with Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields, Buster Keaton, Woody Allen, etc..
Good point, the first Vacation has every Murray movie beat but Bill has a larger collection of good movies and an overall better career.
Not a big fan of Tarantino's movies, but HUGE fan of the man. Incredible individual.
You are dick riding Tarantino but not for the thing he is best at ? That makes sense.
Chase got that old man Harrison Ford vibe about him. “Go bother someone else, kiddo!”
Yes Harrison Ford was the worst celebrity encounter of my lifetime. Dude aggressively hates his fanbase, and needs to get over himself.
@@KidFresh71 What happened, you gotta tell us the story!!!!
@@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77 Was given amazing Star Wars art for my birthday. Amazingly, in walks Harrison Ford to the same restaurant (by himself; solo you could say). Having a few drinks in me and thinking this a cosmic coincidence, I meekly and humbly approached Mr. Ford as he was waiting to be seated and asked him to sign my artwork. He wouldn't look at me nor talk to me, and asked for me to be kicked out of the restaurant. The entire encounter lasted less than 30 seconds, but felt like a hellish lifetime.
Embarrassingly, Ford was seated at the table next to my birthday celebration. He ended up meeting Jon Favreu; most likely discussing "Cowboys & Aliens" from the timeframe of it all. The only reason I wasn't kicked out of the restaurant is because I was staying at the hotel (Beverly Hills Hotel), and was a regular at the restaurant (Polo Lounge). After our meal concluded, I was literally escorted out like I was some sort of criminal, being admonished by hotel security: "Now we're not going to bother Mr. Ford again, are we?" Seriously, all that fuss and it would've taken 3 seconds to just give me his damn signature lol. My friends still tease me about the incident, though, so I guess it makes for a funny story.
@@KidFresh71 I never liked him and he seemed like a dick when I saw him in the Jackson Hole airport. Now I have confirmation.
There you have it, Chevy and Ford are different but both should be recalled for old TSBs that haven't been remedied.
I’m so glad Tarantino finally went on the show. Despite his personality, he truly is a filmmaker, not a studio filmmaker
What’s wrong with his personality?
@@kanegarvey3188 guess the point of his point in this video was missed… he’s just himself

Quentin was just entering adulthood around the start of the eighties. There seems to be a pattern around early adulthood where people start to become critical (almost hyper-critcial - the "hipster attitude") and more discerning about what they consume, so it's understandable he's so critical of eighties movies. The media people consume during their child and adolescent years is often viewed in an idealistic, uncritical haze. There is a correlation in the music realm. So many kids who grew up on late 60's/70's music hated 80's music, often complaining it was overproduced and too commercial. This is what led to the grunge rebellion in the early 90's.
And then the happy go lucky era of the 2000s 😆
Or you came of age around 2000 and figured out how to download movies from the 80s and 70s and see exactly what he's talking about.. "So many kids who grew up on late 60's/70's music hated 80's music" have you ever even listened to music from that era? You can pretty much chart the downward decline of rock music. You can go with your opinion and all that, but it's objective fact that guitar base music decline in popularity every year after 1977. "This is what led to the grunge rebellion in the early 90's." grunge was a product of innovation in recording technology. Starting in the late 80s, audio compression technology became common place. Before that point the only way to make a full sound was to play fast and busy guitar. When compression technology hit, slow tempo/down tuned guitars started sounding full. Grunge is just a branding it was literally nothing more than a change in production technology. "The media people consume during their child and adolescent years is often viewed in an idealistic, uncritical haze" Then you become an adult and can sample things on your own.
@@dixonhill1108 Yeah, right. So movies were all sunshine and rainbows in the 80's. It's not like that was the era of the "video nasty" and the dawn of such genres as body horror. The MXR compression pedal had been available since the early seventies. Led Zeppelin extensively used compression to create their signature sound (creating slower, heavier songs such as When The Levee Breaks). Even the Stones used compression. If the only thing that seperates 80's commercial glam/hair metal "cock rock" from 90's grunge/alternative rock is the technology, why then is the lyrical content so radically different? 80's hair rock is all about girls and partying. 90's grunge is far darker, introspective with existentialist themes.
Ouch ! Im a hypocrite
@@pleasebeinteresting I can only take it that you are referencing the fact that I stated the difference in lyrical theme/ mood from 80's glam rock to 90's grunge/alternative and that that difference in theme and mood is applicable to Tarantino discerning between 60/70's film-making to 80's film-making. The point is no one mood/theme generally defines an entire era/decade. At the same time 80's glam rock was pre-occupied with more testoterone-fueled themes there were more serious and interesting themes being explored in 80's New Wave and Romantic music. Even a song as "poppy" as Nena's 99 Red Balloons is actually a reference about the 80's cold war (very applicable to now).
Chevy Chase had an addiction to pain killers due to his early slapstick pratt fall style. When you 're hurting your entire body is tensed up and therefore so is your mind. I've suffered minor and major injuries through my lifetime, unstable compression fracture of my L3 Vertebrae, a hip replacement, busted knee cap resulting in knee surgery and now diabetic neuropathy which causes me to tense up. I have to concentrate on relaxing my muscles and putting a smile on my face so people around me will appreciate my companionship.
I understand Groundhog day is technically "formulaic", but Bill's character actually earns it in that movie. Who knows how many years he had to live that one day over and over to become a decent guy? I think that one makes the most sense.
It might have very well taken centuries. Who knows. It might have taken an eternity but at the end he found happiness in being decent human being. That was the point of the whole movie. Not just to make pc ending in the last 20 minutes. It's really baffling that Tarantino can't get past "it's just a Bill Murray Movie".

Quentin makes a great point about Chevy Chase, for me, Fletch is the best example of his point, the character never faulters from the start, always sarcastic, senseless yet smart, funny, and not surprisingly very entertaining..... Tarantino is the Tarkovsky of my generation.
80s was the best times for movies! Predator, aliens,monster squad, empire strikes back, return of the
Jedi, legend, goonies, bloodsport, gremlins, American werewolf in London, silver bullet, fright night, a nightmare in elm street, childs play, ghostbusters and many more

I still hope he will be in the movie as a flashback or hallucination though
What else do you want to know, how the titanic sank? Man, you need to update your references who cares. That community controvery has been adressed and revomitted to an unbearable degree.
I doubt he would be into it
We already know how he feels about community. Doubt Joe Rogan has watched it to question it.
Chevy: Get the f**k away from me!
Tarantino: We didn't have heroes in the 1970's
Luke Skywalker and Rocky: Are we jokes to you?
Love Chevy and Bill dearly. Born in late 90’s so wasn’t around to experience their prime, but man I tell ya they don’t make em like that anymore. Caddyshack will always be my favorite movie of all time
Bill Murray is a legend
Bill Murray sucks
@@lovablesnowman Weird.
The 80s was a FANTASTIC time for movies.
That's what I was thinking. And they certainly weren't all PC like Tarantino is making it seem here.
@@CanItAlready He's just trying to sell a half-assed theory he pieced together. Just say '70s movies were cynical and that's what I like geesh...
He's insane
Especially Horror flicks. That was the golden age
Wait, back to the future was made in the 80s. Quentin is too far up his own ass
Tarantino takes a lot of inspiration from 70s cinema too. A lot obscure movies from the 70s I think find their way into his films.
80s movies are some of my favorite. 70s were a lot more gritty and also one of my favorite generations for films. But it’s the 70s and 80s are both my most liked generations for films
To be fair “Scrooged” is just following the source material. Ish.
@Roderick Kerr *Eddie Murphy thinking.gif* hahah
@Roderick Kerr No, the perfect vehicle for Bill Murray will always be the "Ecto-1"

I thought it was funny they brought up Scrooge as an example. It is a retelling of a Christmas carol what did they think was going to happen.
it makes a lot of sense in groundhog day aswell given the buddhist ideas in it
Damn, I'm really nostalgic about 80s movies lol.
There's plenty of exceptions to the rule Tarantino is talking about, it's more a general mainstream issue with '80s movies.
Yeah, I think the best films are from about 85 to 95, but some early 80's films were also pretty good, if not excellent in some cases, and even the late 90's had some great films too, it's sort of around the time the Matrix came out that it started to become just a bunch of Will Farrell comedies, Fast and the Furious shits, or regurgitated comic book hero films, with the occasional gem.
I disagree with him about the 80s, but I would choose Hollywood in any of those decades over the last 10 years.
@@warlockofwordsreturnsrb4358 Alien, Indiana Jones, Die Hard, Star Wars V & VI, TRON, Stand By Me, Wall Street, Escape From New York, ROBOCOP, Top Gun, The Color of Money, Lethal Weapon, The Terminator....I can go on and on!
From the beginning I was in upside down world, it's his opinion, though, not any kind of immutable truth.
I think the world will remember 80s movies as higher art than those gritty 70s movies.
1:24 Falling Down, with Michael Douglas is a textbook example of this....that's literally what they did with the little "twist" at the end.
Excellent observations
Ferris Bueller doesn't change throughout the movie. He's starts off a smug, rich kid bully and that's what he ends up as.
Even in real life
th-cam.com/video/fX94Vg0RMAE/w-d-xo.html
A bully?
@@winterc.2476 Yeah, a subtle one. How he manipulates Cameron into doing things he doesn't want to do.
@@SOLXXX41 That's not being a bully that's just being an oblivious teenager
@@guv8865 Ferris Bueller is a rich, privileged teenager in the Reaganite era who gets away with his tomfoolery and slightly transgressive behaviour . He's not oblivious and knows exactly what he's doing. And as I said, it's a subtle type of bullying and manipulation and he's a narcissist but of course, all this is played out in a comedic way so Ferris suffers no consequences for his actions.
Joe Rogan: I hope chevy is OK
Tarantino: he made good movies!
The rest of us: Neither
@@bobthebear1246 Nope - most reaffirm the sentiment
Chevy did not make good movies .. he plays the same character in every movie ..
@@dayra6425 Clark Griswold and Fletch are the same?
@@dayra6425 Even if that were true, so does Jack Nicholson and Samuel L. Jackson.
Chevy Chase is a comedy god, you goof.
I see it differently. For me, Groundhog Day is more about how the same things that happen to one every day can be seen as positive or negative depending on our attitude towards life and other people (are the colour of the glass we look thorough at them), rather than just a film about a guy who redeems himself. OK, the character redeems, but as a consequence of beginning to look at the same things with a different attitude. It is also about love. It is a funny film and very enjoyable.
And made 1993.
Can't see Chevy without thinking of Murray's insult "Medium talent!"
Chevy Chase has the distinguished legacy of being overhyped in his prime and sorely underappreciated afterward.
As a kid who grew up in the 90s/early 00s I loved old Chevy chase movies back in the day
This comment deserves all the likes.
@@AdamWatt00 same here man. Funny Farm is still hilarious
Overhyped in his prime, my ass.
Yeah, kind of the opposite of Bill. He's like a superhero figure now, where as he wasn't really respected back when he was doing good work.
One could say Chevy Chase movies were "Streets Ahead".
Yeah, cause everything QT said about Chevy Chase characters is absolutely true in Community.
If not then you're streets behind.
I may be stupid but I’m at least I’m not a lesbian
It'd be wild if Tarantino directed the Community movie.
One would have to be an idiot.
LOVE QT! His love of all cinema is infectious. He makes me want to go out and literally watch every movie ever created.
That's a little extreme, in Groundhog Day Bill Murray's character was just a vehicle for the overall plot. Which is loosely based on Dante's Inferno. The journey into purgatory and hell and final assent back to the mortal plane. Also, you have the hero's journey which is common in most Western Cannon. In Huckleberry Finn, doesn't Huck learn valuable moral lessons for which the author intended? (Groundhog Day), Discovery, Acceptance, Despair, and finally Enlightenment; the character saw the value in the opportunity he was given to attain a form of Nirvana.
Yes absolutely, I love Tarantinos films, but this analysis is so unbelievably dumb. Scrooged for example is obviously a re-imagining of A Christmas Carol, the whole point is for his character to change his ways. Murray's speech at the end is really effective/moving. Groundhog Day is very similar also, the whole point is a redemptive arc for his character. Then consider Pulp Fiction, Jules starts off a ruthless/murderous gangster, but then sees the error of his ways and desires to change his life, after what he sees as divine intervention. That's not a million miles from groundhog day or Scrooged, in terms of an arc. Most of Tarantinos films have feel good endings, as opposed to the cynical 70s endings he supposedly prefers. Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, OUATIH. None have cynical endings, they all have happy endings of sorts, and in the case of a film like Kill Bill, the bride starts out as a ruthless assassin, and ends the film as a retired single mum. Like Jules she doesn't end her arc as bad ass as when she started, but that doesn't make her story just some feel good cop out. I'm baffled by his analysis, it's so stupid.
To summarize Tarantino’s problem with 80’s movies- Not enough feet...
Is he a foot guy?
@@sniffit123 wiggle your big toe
Notorious “Shrimper “.
@@gerardmurphy8278 the scene where she squishes the eyeball between her toes is straight up weird.

I could watch "What About Bob" over and over. It's always hilarious. #teammurray
Awesome!
It’s a crap ass movie honestly
I'm sailing!
Baby steps
I love that movie! Bill Murry was great in that. Probably seen it 12 times. Richard Dreyfuss was great too. "Why don't you take a vacation?".. "I'M ON VACATION!!!" LOL
Laughs in Paul Verhoeven.
They need to remaster "Foul Play". Greatest movie that no one remembers anymore. You can't even download it. The whole movie is on TH-cam though. It has comedy, action, romance, murder mystery, suspense, great sound track, all star cast. Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, Dudley Moore, Burgess Meredith, Brian Dennehy, Billy Barty. So great.
Oh I remember watching Foul Play with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn, loved that movie

Steelyard Blues is the quintessential '70s film directed by Alan Myerson and starring Donald Sutherland, Jane Fonda and Peter Boyle.
Fletch is a classic 80’s movie if you haven’t seen it
The 80s had some amazing movies. Every decade has. The “decent” movies are the ones that he’s talking about but even the formula of “asshole becoming nice” has always been a cliche. Not just one decade.
Are you arguing film history with Tarantino? I’ll take his account.
Every decade has gems (same with music), but that does not mean all eras had an equal amount of great movies.
Certainly not!
Yeah, the 80s had some awesome movies. In a lot of ways it was the beginning of modern pop culture that we would recognize today -- 1984 might have been the greatest year in pop culture ever. But there was a general social trend in the 80s of pretending it's the 50s again, just with a lot more cocaine. It was the era of rise of neoconservatism, after all. It was different from the 70s where you basically put your vices out in the open to a weird dichotomy in the 80s of wearing a suit and tie and putting on a front during the day and then doing rails of coke off a hooker's boobs in your free time.
@@brent5832 tarentino likes westerns so yeah there's that
But all of Chase's movies are in the 80s too. What point is he making, other than sounding like Tarantino?
80’s has some of my favorite movies of all time! Action and some comedy movies were some of the best!
best decade for horror and magical movies
I get what he’s saying about 80s movies but there were also some great flicks that delt with heavier subjects and themes: Scarface, First Blood, They Live, The Thing, Platoon. And so many more
00:04 The fifties brought us Sam Fuller -- and QT knows this! Never mind: Marlon Brando, Nick Ray, Welles's Touch of Evil, Kubrick (!), and... moving abroad... Ozu, Kurosawa, Bresson, Satyajit Ray, de De Sica's, Umberto D., Bunuel's return to directing (Los Olvidados)... the list goes on...
