@@F1rstWorldNomaD Just me, but I would definitely put it up there: tight, rich script that understands the time it's living in and pays tribute to the several escapees and refugees from Europe who are in this movie; layered, flawed characters who invite argument and discussion from us, and all played by gifted actors; humor as well as drama; Dooley Wilson in a rare 1940s depiction of an intelligent and creative man of color; and, of course, the music.
@@Marionney Well, I don't the birth year of a viewer matters if the movie is good; and there are certain things in human nature that just don't really change. When a story manages to tap deep enough into those things, it can become timeless. I believe "Casablanca" is one of those types of stories. Incidentally, I myself was not born in the 1930s.
I love the scene where they interview Edgar's wife... because she literally made them lemonade, but couldn't make it right because someone ATE ALL THE SUGAR! It's the little things like that.. the attention to detail, which makes this such a good movie.
Good catch.. but why the hell is she offering guests sugarless lemonade?! Either there was no sugar or maybe she just really doesn’t know how to make simple drinks and dishes lol Edgar did say her dinner looked like poison🤣🤣
@@MrZackavelli so you would be thankful if someone squeezed some sour ass lemonade into a cup, no sugar just pure sour liquid? Don’t you dare lie either lol
Vincent D'Onofrio is fantastic as Edga the Bug, with all of the awkward physical acting. My favorite bit is when he's parked in the exterminator's van outside the jewelry store, trying to 'act casual,' and he can't control the arms.
Smith and Jones were great in this, but I was surprised you didn't mention D'Onofrio's name, the winner of your Worst Award. He also played 'Gomer Pyle' in Full Metal Jacket, and was a lead in Law & Order: CI; a good actor!
@@jenmurrayxo Understood! There are just too many movies, TV shows, and series to follow them all. I think stories about the criminal justice system are in my family's blood: my grandad loved detective/crime magazines, my dad loved Perry Mason, and my sister loved Law & Order. My other grandad and an uncle were NYC cops. So I watched L&O and skipped Friends! ;-) (Trivia time: coincidentally there was a TV Western named 'Alias Smith and Jones' in the early 1970s.)
D'Onofrio is one of the most incredible actors. I always forget everything he's ever done when I'm watching him in a role, because he embodies whatever role he's in.
22:12 - That actor is Vincent D'Onofrio who played Kingpin in the Netflix Daredevil show. He also played "Thor" in the teen comedy, Adventures in Babysitting (1987).
Fantastic supporting cast! Vincent D'Onofrio, Tony Shalhoub, Rip Torn and Linda Fiorentino were all perfect in their roles. And Barry Sonnenfeld too. The dog interrogation scene had me on the floor 🤣 I don't know how Tommy Lee Jones kept a straight face! Yes, watch Casablanca! MIB 2 & 3 are worth watching too.
Casablanca… it’s not a question of should but must. It’s on the top list of any film buffs list of all time greats. A delightful romance set in a crazy time with two of the biggest stars of their time: Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart. PS: you will hear the phrase “round up the usual suspects” which was nudge nudge winked to with the title: The usual Suspects.
I cannot agree more emphatically. One, it's perfect. Two, it's an incredibly influential movie for pretty much every filmmaker of the past 70 years. Three, it's hella fun to watch people react to it.
And Jen, read a bit on the historical background of the time it is set in. Most of the actors were actual refugees from Nazi Germany, and when the film was released in 1942, there wasn't any assurance the Allies would defeat Hitler.
Rip Torn (Zed) has my favorite line in the movie: "The twins keep us on Centaurian time, standard thirty-seven hour day. Give it a few months. You'll get used to it... or you'll have a psychotic episode." Every time I get stressed out at work, I think of that last sentence (...so I think about it a lot. LOL)
May have only rewatched this 2 weeks ago but I'm happy to watch it again and it was again a fun time your business walk is brilliant Jen lol just brilliant 😂 and ofc whenever we get to see any of your furbabies it's a good day 👌 cheers again for the laughs Jen you're too funny 🤣🔥
Nominated for 3 Oscars Best Production Design Best Original Score Best Makeup. It won the Latter. I sae this on VHS Christmas Day 1997 and it's pretty impressive and hilarious! A fun Sci Fi action comedy film thats epic and memorable.
Yeah, it really seems like you had a blast watching this movie. You were clearly having so much fun the whole time. Like you seem to like a lot of movies, but this one you REALLY seemed to get into.
Hi Banjo. When you were doing your review at 29:29 Banjo’s tail popped out behind you and matches what you’re wearing so it almost looks like you sprouted a tail, which suits this movie. Ha ha
You said you really had a blast watchin this movie. I can believe that because you were talking and enjoying the heck out of it. And that makes it much more enjoyable to those of us who join you on these journeys. We don't watch this for the movie, we watch it for you, the hostess with the mostess. Very well done Jen, very well indeed.
I am surprised that nobody mentioned Jack Sholder's "The Hidden" (1987) with Kyle MacLachlan in the leading role. This little known movie was the main influence for the "Edgar Costume". Also highly recommendable movie, full of action and a great soundtrack.
Iirc, in the novelization of the movie, they outright state that J's interpretation of the gun range scenario is actually correct, and the only actual threat to human life in the target range is the girl. Love the reaction. 2 is good as well. 3 is a fun pastiche of older sci-fi tropes. And echoing everyone else that Casablanca is a must watch.
8:00 OMG that's the actor that plays Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in the Netflix Daredevil series (brilliant performance btw)...he looks like a completely different person but the way he talks here INSTANTLY made me realize it's him
Jen, you have a black and white cat? So do I! I love you for that! And your little dog is very adorable! I miss my little guy, but I still have my kitty. Glad you liked the movie! Tommy Lee Jones is awesome in this role. He's too cool and I love it!
The production team who made this had gained a great deal of credibility from the success of their earlier work, "The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values." They used the same font for the opening titles for this film, hoping to get some of the priors' good luck.
1. YES, ABSOLUTELY, you should react to Casablanca! i haven't seen it myself in about 20 years but well worth a watch. 2. Vincent D'Onofrio does not get nearly enough credit or recognition for his acting skills. when you think that he is the bug in MIB, Pvt Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, Kingpin in Daredevil/Hawkeye, and a ton of other amazing credits, it's just mind blowing--his range. PS: you should absolutely react to MIB II, III, and international. each one is a fun adventure in their own rights.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky..." Love this quote because it is extremely accurate, and I paraphrase it a lot! Not Tommy as the lead, but 2 movies that pop to mind are Under Siege 1 (probably Steven Segall's best movie ... and considering he's an epic douche bag, it puts him in a decent action star light) and No Country for Old Men One where he is the lead, is Volcano. I don't remember too much about it, but I did enjoy it when I first saw it. That was a long time ago though... and I do remember there being a broken sound in the edit that's kept in the movie. Scifi comedy, first thing that comes to mind is Mel Brooke's spoof, Spaceballs. A movie I loved to death...literally! The VHS my dad had it on met its demise from me rewatching it way too much
10:28 _"Should I see Casablanca?"_ Absolutely. But I would also recommend *Defending Your Life* (1991). I was reminded of it, as it has _Rip Torn,_ the guy in charge of MIB here you thought you recognized.
I love the tests, J demonstrated how to work smarter not harder and showed how he would analyze a situation before acting, not being quick on the trigger.
"Space Cowboys" is a great Tommie Lee Jones movie. It also stars Clint Eastwood who directed it. Another novelty is Clint's wife in this movie is the actress who played Mea 3 in the "A Taste of Armageddon" Star Trek episode, Barbara Babcock.
When Men in Black came out our local paper interviewed Lowell Cunningham, who is a friend of mine. They asked him if he was a big success and he said, "I'm just a local geek who made good." 😀I'll see him around town from time to time, in one of his many colorful bowling shirts, just blending in with the local crowds who don't know who he is. He is happy that he's not recognized by anyone who isn't a friend of his. 😀 A Tommy Lee Jones movie that most people haven't heard of is Man of the House. It's not great cinema, but it is a fun popcorn flick.
Also, another great movie with Linda Fiorentino (the medical examiner) and with Anthony Edwards (Goose from Top Gun) is Gotcha!, a spy thriller with comedy in it. I seriously would love to see someone watch that for the first time. Hint hint. 😀
✨Hey so many of you guys are recommending THE FUGITIVE! I recently watched that one here th-cam.com/video/NJTQ-VekCiU/w-d-xo.html 👍 Also on the channel are Galaxy Quest & Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure!
Hello, Banjo. Such a cute kitty, Jen. 🤗👍 Yes, you should definitely see "Casablanca." You will hear so many popular memes, and finally learn where they came from. 👍😃
hi jen yes definitely watch " capablanca" , its a classic . please do consider " nobody" its fantastic action made by john wick crew and is being compared to the wick movies .
Yes, you should see Cassablanca. Other Tommy Lee Jones movies: UNDER SIEGE and U.S. MARSHALLS, there are others but I haven't seen them. There are also two other MEN IN BLACK movies with Tommy Lee and Will Smith.
Yes, you should see Casablanca -- yesterday if possible. It is one you will wish you had seen earlier and one you can watch repeatedly with no regrets.
The guy in the Edgar suit is Vincent D'nofrio( I didn't spell that right. ) was Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, and eas one of the Detectives in CSI, Law & Order, one of those cop shows, from the '90's & 2000's
13:43 This vehicle is _such_ a bundle of anachronisms. It looks like a nondescript Ford sedan. It's specially designed, though, so the pressing of a button brings out a couple jets that allow you to drive on the ceiling of a tunnel. Yet it plays eight-tracks. 🤷♂
The response that, "I can't give up my family/friends and just disappear" makes a lot of sense, except to me. I look at it as, "Wait, I get to get rid of all these people, and can disappear, and have a purpose? Where do I sign up?"
Random Tommy Lee Jones trivia: his roommate at Harvard was Al Gore. Tommy Lee Jones plays the lead in Cobb if you're in the mood for a baseball movie. I agree with whoever recommended Short Circuit as a sci fi comedy, but I'd also add Short Circuit 2.
An early film with Tommy Lee Jones in a supporting role is the mystery/suspense "The Eyes of Laura Mars" (1978), directed by Irvin Kershner ("SW V: The Empire Strikes Back"), and written by John Carpenter. Another is "Stormy Monday" (1988) with Sean Bean and Melanie Griffith.
For more Tommy Lee Jones check out The Fugitive with Harrison Ford and its "sequel" US Marshals with Robert Downey Jr and Wesley Snipes. Also check out No Country For Old Men by the Coen Brothers. And of course Men in Black 2 and 3 like others have suggested are a lot of fun. Oh, and check out Space Cowboys with Clind Eastwood!
Should’ve known that tactical Jen would surface during this movie 😋 Though the happy ending joke was probably my favorite. And since he got back with his wife he actually did get that kind 😉
Hey Jen! I am so enjoying your reactions more and more each time I watch them! "Casablanca" (1942) is DEFINITELY a movie to watch! It's one of the greatest black & white classics of all time. "MiB II" is also worth watching. Not better than the first but still worth a reaction (and good laughs). There are LOADS of sci-fi comedies, quite a few you have already reacted to in the past. Here are my suggestions: 1) "Time Bandits" (1981); 2) "Weird Science "(1985); 3) "Re-Animator" (1985); 4) "Short Circuit" (1986 - plus it's sequel); 5) "They Live" (1988); 6) "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" (1991 - sequel); 7) the "Evil Dead" trilogy; 8) "Mars Attacks!" (1996); 9) "Starship Troopers" (1997) and 10) "Earth Girls Are Easy" (1989 - with Jeff Goldblum). Enjoy!
I would recommend skipping Evil Dead and going straight to Evil Dead 2. The tone of the original is 100% horror, and #2 is essentially a reboot, starting off with a complete remake of the original and growing into a new, more comedic tone.
Fun fact: Danny Elfman had a band back in the 80s called Oingo Boingo and his very first movie music was the title song for the film Weird Science. Since then, he has done the music for tons of movies and is one of the most highly sought-after movie composers today.
Tommy Lee Jones movies. Of course MIB 2 (2002), Space Cowboys (2000), the Client (1994), the Hunted (2003), Rules of Engagement (2000), Blown Away (1994) and Man of the House (2005).
Egger suit always makes me smile. It's a nice little nuance to the character. Great reaction, Jen! This is a fun comedy, and I'm really impressed with Vincent D'onofrio as The Bug. His make up made his skin increasingly worse but his acting really sold the Egger suit. And I love Banjo! Adorable 😻
“ The person is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals and you know it.“ One of my favorite movie quotes of all time
Truth!
I thought i was the only one who thought this!
Accurate to real life
And absolutely true!
My favourite quote as well.
"Tommy Lee Jones Got A Happy Ending" is the name of my band for the next ten minutes
"Never seen it. Should I see Casablanca?" Yes!!! Only one of the best films ever made.
"Casablanca" is considered one of the top 5 movies ever made. Worth a reaction.

2) HELLO BANJO
Yeah, it really seems like you had a blast watching this movie. You were clearly having so much fun the whole time. Like you seem to like a lot of movies, but this one you REALLY seemed to get into.
the actor who played edgar jen has played the kingpin in 3 seasons of marvels daredevil and 3 episodes of disney+ show hawkeye
"He flashed him!"
AYO!
28:12 Scenes like this one lead me to believe that either this movie was intended as a standalone or the plans for sequels did not include Agent K.

This little known movie was the main influence for the "Edgar Costume".

The cartoon also backed it up by having the little girl be a common disguise for a recurring villain.

Yes, you should see Casablanca -- yesterday if possible. It is one you will wish you had seen earlier and one you can watch repeatedly with no regrets.
Hello, Banjo!
Very enjoyable reaction. Thanks, Jen! 🤗
The guy in the Edgar suit is Vincent D'nofrio( I didn't spell that right. ) was Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, and eas one of the Detectives in CSI, Law & Order, one of those cop shows, from the '90's & 2000's
29:19 Say hi to Banjo. Hi Banjo!! Cute cat!
😻 He's a cool guy
13:43 This vehicle is _such_ a bundle of anachronisms. It looks like a nondescript Ford sedan. It's specially designed, though, so the pressing of a button brings out a couple jets that allow you to drive on the ceiling of a tunnel. Yet it plays eight-tracks. 🤷♂
The response that, "I can't give up my family/friends and just disappear" makes a lot of sense, except to me.
I look at it as, "Wait, I get to get rid of all these people, and can disappear, and have a purpose? Where do I sign up?"
Random Tommy Lee Jones trivia: his roommate at Harvard was Al Gore.
Tommy Lee Jones plays the lead in Cobb if you're in the mood for a baseball movie.
I agree with whoever recommended Short Circuit as a sci fi comedy, but I'd also add Short Circuit 2.
An early film with Tommy Lee Jones in a supporting role is the mystery/suspense "The Eyes of Laura Mars" (1978), directed by Irvin Kershner ("SW V: The Empire Strikes Back"), and written by John Carpenter.
Another is "Stormy Monday" (1988) with Sean Bean and Melanie Griffith.
He is also terrific as Doolittle Lynn, Loretta Lynn’s husband, in Coal Miner’s Daughter.
For more Tommy Lee Jones check out The Fugitive with Harrison Ford and its "sequel" US Marshals with Robert Downey Jr and Wesley Snipes. Also check out No Country For Old Men by the Coen Brothers. And of course Men in Black 2 and 3 like others have suggested are a lot of fun. Oh, and check out Space Cowboys with Clind Eastwood!
Jen recently watched The Fugitive: th-cam.com/video/NJTQ-VekCiU/w-d-xo.html
Should’ve known that tactical Jen would surface during this movie 😋 Though the happy ending joke was probably my favorite. And since he got back with his wife he actually did get that kind 😉
Hey Jen! I am so enjoying your reactions more and more each time I watch them! "Casablanca" (1942) is DEFINITELY a movie to watch! It's one of the greatest black & white classics of all time. "MiB II" is also worth watching. Not better than the first but still worth a reaction (and good laughs). There are LOADS of sci-fi comedies, quite a few you have already reacted to in the past. Here are my suggestions: 1) "Time Bandits" (1981); 2) "Weird Science "(1985); 3) "Re-Animator" (1985); 4) "Short Circuit" (1986 - plus it's sequel); 5) "They Live" (1988); 6) "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" (1991 - sequel); 7) the "Evil Dead" trilogy; 8) "Mars Attacks!" (1996); 9) "Starship Troopers" (1997) and 10) "Earth Girls Are Easy" (1989 - with Jeff Goldblum). Enjoy!
I would recommend skipping Evil Dead and going straight to Evil Dead 2. The tone of the original is 100% horror, and #2 is essentially a reboot, starting off with a complete remake of the original and growing into a new, more comedic tone.
Mars Attacks! Jack Nicholson Michael J Fox, Glenn Close, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DiVito, Natalie Portman, Martin Short among others
Some great movies there but I think you're stretching the definition of 'sci fi' or 'comedy' for a few of them haha
You should ABSOLUTELY see Casablanca. It's an outstanding film.
Casablanca (1942) - Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman. A true classic, must see movie.
Bloody stellar. Cheers Commander!
12:44 I DIED at this part when I saw this in the theater. 😂🤣😍🤣 I still die laughing now.
Banjo is an awesome name for a cat!
Yes! You should see Casablanca! You won't regret it.
Fun fact: Danny Elfman had a band back in the 80s called Oingo Boingo and his very first movie music was the title song for the film Weird Science. Since then, he has done the music for tons of movies and is one of the most highly sought-after movie composers today.
I friggin love canadians😊
Jen - that’s a yes to watch Casablanca! Fit it in somewhere.
"In the Valley of Elah" (2007) is a wonderful drama with Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. Highly recommend.
They have a great thing playing off each other. Thanks for a fun video as always.
Tommy Lee Jones movies. Of course MIB 2 (2002), Space Cowboys (2000), the Client (1994), the Hunted (2003), Rules of Engagement (2000), Blown Away (1994) and Man of the House (2005).
Vincent D’Onofrio is amazing as the Bug 👏👏👏
Egger suit always makes me smile. It's a nice little nuance to the character. Great reaction, Jen! This is a fun comedy, and I'm really impressed with Vincent D'onofrio as The Bug. His make up made his skin increasingly worse but his acting really sold the Egger suit. And I love Banjo! Adorable 😻
Thanks! ☺️👍
The guy that played Edger was in Mystic Pizza (with Julia Roberts) among many other movies.
