I kind of wanna see Ashleigh watch "An Officer and a Gentleman" with Debra Winger/Richard Gere. Lou Gossett Jr. just passed away and it's one of his most recognized roles. Also, since she enjoys John Lithgow "The World According to Garp" would be interesting. No one reacts to that one.

@@renlessard Well, how many folks look for movies of the past at all? Unappreciated… nah, not when they *know* the movie. But most just don't know. Wasn't Ashleigh also avoiding black and white movies for a long time? Oh, and that's not putting blame on anyone. There's *so much* out there, just so much new stuff being released all the time, who's got time for that old stuff? ;-) (on the last sentence :D)

It's so smart on her deathbed for her to reassure her son, so he won't be as tortured by it later - "I KNOW YOU LOVE ME!" So often when people lose a loved one, they're tortured by, "I don't know if he/she knows how much I loved them..." She didn't want her son to realize later how much he loves & misses her, & be tortured by it.

Sitting with your legs crossed is how I remember Shirley MacLaine, I had her 1989 VHS tape "Inner Workout" based on meditation and balancing your inner chakra's😮. Shirley was Weezer in "Steel Magnolias" she's one of Hollywood's best. Her brother also famous Warren Beatty look him up he's a hunk😂. A good movie to react to is 1961 "Children's Hour" with Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft, it shows people's attitudes of gays in the 60's the movie is tragic, shocking and powerful! A good movie for June Pride month. "Term or Indearment" won 5 Acadamy Awards what more can I say great movie. ❤ Your reactions 😢 Peace ✌️ and Love 😍 Gary

[@anath7589]

Another mother/daughter movie for your consideration is “Postcards from the Edge” which is based on the novel by Carrie Fisher…yes, that Carrie Fisher. The novel is based on Carrie’s life & her relationship with her mother, Debbie Reynolds. Meryl Streep plays the daughter while Shirley McLaine plays the mother. It also has Richard Dreyfuss, Gene Hackman, Rob Reiner, & Annette Benning, to name a few. J.D. Souther is in it as Ted…though he did some acting, he was mainly a songwriter/muscian/singer. He wrote songs for the Eagles did: Best of My Love, Heartache Tonight, & New Kid in Town. Also wrote songs for Linda Rondstadt & collaborated with James Taylor. There is also a reference to “The Valley of the Dolls” which was the 1st film Dreyfuss appeared in (1967 - uncredited) Oh, Liza Minnelli told Carrie the film resembled her own relationship with her famous mother, Judy Garland. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be in your library.

[@Alaskan_Two_Spirit_Wolf]

I thought that was this movie and was wondering why I didn't remember it so much. 😅

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I can't make any excuses for Jeff Daniels's character's behavior. But I would argue that I don't think he didn't WANT his kids, I think - as his mother-in-law told him - he recognized his weakness. He didn't think he could be the parent they needed and wanted better for the kids. It's heartbreaking, but I've known many people in that situation (my best friend was raised by his grandma for a similar reason). It's not about "doing the right thing" as a parent, it's about doing the best thing for the kids. I don't think Flap was happy about it, or relieved or anything like that. I think he just knew it was the right choice.

[@brickm]

Totally agree. I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@billdouglas8701]

While she loved the movie, Ashleigh just didn’t get a lot of the subtleties in the writing and performances.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

@@billdouglas8701 I get that, though. She's watching the movie for the big reactions (to feed us internet beasts), which means she can't always give the due attention a film warrants. It's a double-edge sword of the KZbin reaction thing.

I think she’d enjoy the comedy of The Apartment. But I feel it’s too ‘old’ for her

[@RMBittner]

@@NiKiMa023 Her intro states “older classic movies,” so 1960 should be totally appropriate…but “older” and “classic” don’t usually apply to the movies here.

[@NiKiMa023]

[@crisb2890]

Phenomenal Shirley had a brief scene with Dean Martin in the original Rat Pack classic, Ocean's 11 .

[@RMBittner]

@@NiKiMa023 You’re right. I was just thinking of all the Marvel stuff, I guess. FWIW, I look at “older” in these terms: Since sound movies have been around since, roughly, 1930-and it’s the very rare reactor who will feature silent films (Movies with Mia being one exception)-that gives us about 95 years of movies to choose from. But let’s say 90, for the sake of argument and easy math. I divide the timeline straight down the middle. To me, then, “older” would logically mean “older than 45 years”; newer would be within the last 45 years. But a lot of reactors call anything made before they were born “old” or, worse, it’s “old” if it was made before 2000. As if they should ignore the previous hundred years of filmmaking.

This film is great for many reasons, but one of them is that it's a great example of Debra Winger's star quality. This was obviously her career pinnacle, with An Officer and a Gentleman coming out the year before. She continued to work for years but never achieved the kind of stardom her talent deserved.

[@GA-fn8hr]

And she still hasn't done anything for Louis Gossett Jr.

I was going to say, love Ms McLaine's performance and think she totally deserved the Oscar but Ms Winger is amazing as well. I think she was co-nominated as well. I understand they didn't always get along during the filming but I think that may have totally benefitted both their performances.

[@l00d3r]

Shirley McLaine is a terrific actor. She was famous in the 50's and 60's, then made a comeback in the 80's. If you want to see her young, one of my recommendations is The Apartment with Jack Lemmon (Grumpy Old Men).

There were two young kids being served, the oldest couldn't have been more than about 12, and a younger kid about 10. A second member of staff was assisting. I asked what the problem was, the kids had put sweets in a bag from the 'pick and mix' but didn't have enough money. The second member of staff was removing sweets from the bag, to lower the bill.

It won five Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Film Editing. Also, MacLaine and Lemmon were both nominated.

I remember watching the Academy Awards when Shirley won best actress and there was all that commotion about her interest in new age mysticism and past lives. I finally watched TERMS OF ENDEARMENT on VHS at home alone. Had to stop when the little brother quietly weeps at the hospital room door. Cried so hard I almost threw up.

[@spicy321]

My mom took me to see this movie when I was 12 and I wasn't interested because I thought it would be boring. It turned out to be one of my favorite movies of all time. It was my first time seeing Jack Nicholson and I became an instant fan. Every performance in this movie is so good right down to the kids.

[@JonS0107]

Besides "Steel Magnolias" other great Shirley McLean movies include "The Trouble with Harry", "The Apartment" and "Sweet Charity".

[@goldilox369]

The Apartment is so good! I love her in that. ❤

[@LeighMet]

Wasn't Sweet charity a bomb.

[@JonS0107]

@@LeighMetAs a movie musical in the late 60s it was released at the end of the movie musical era so no, it didn't do well. However it received three Oscar nominations, and Shirley McClain received a best actress Golden Globe nomination. Just because a movie bombs at release doesn't make it a bad movie. There are a lot of movies that are great even though they failed at the box office, such as Raging Bull, it's a Wonderful Life, The Wizard of Oz, and Citizen Kane.

[@SueSnellLives]

THE APARTMENT!! Maybe a double feature next Valentine's Day of this and Irma Le Douce. It's the Jack Lemmon/ Shirley MacLaine tag team!

The older son was in "Magnum Force" with Clint Eastwood. Played the son of Harry's murdered cop friend.

[@6sKi6z6]

This movie definitely hits different with me as an adult. I’m married now with two little kids of my own. And my mom died of cancer 12 years ago. This is a very “real” story. And it makes you feel all the feels in a genuine way. Great movie.

[@scryingt]

This film takes on a lot more meaning when you know more about Shirley’s relationship to her real daughter. It adds layers to her performance when she plays someone’s mother.

[@jose9593]

Fabulous movie. Debra Winger was also terrific in it and she was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role alongside Shirley MacLaine, but MacLaine ended up winning the award.

[@patrickmgaddis]

There’s a sequel “The Evening Star” it was a box office bomb but in recent years, it’s kind of gained a cult following. Juliette Lewis plays Emma’s daughter Melanie and Shirley MacLaine reprises her role as Aurora.

[@TheMacJew]

Evening Star was just McMurty's way to end Aurora's story, the same way Streets of Laredo was to give Call a proper send-off.

[@user-qh9rg3fq9x]

I've never cared what critics say, I think "Evening Star" was a worthy follow up to Terms of Endearment. I quite enjoy the movie.

[@richardb6260]

See? Now that's what I consider underrated.

[@bradbarter8314]

It also brings back Jack Nicholson and brings in Bill Paxton RIP as well as Scott Wolf. The movie was 13 years later in 1996.

lol. Ashleigh’s “well…. I guess we need to talk about it”. 😆

[@johnbuchanon7717]

Culture gave Shirley grief a long while after her ‘Out on a Limb’ book & movie were released but that lady can act. The ‘Virginia’ upbringing came out in this one. BTW, her best comedic role in our house’s opinion is “Guarding Tess (1994)” with Nick Cage. Mildly dark humor but fun.

[@emilysmith259]

Oh I love that one too! I love how she goes toe to toe with Nick Cage!

To my knowledge James L. Brooks isn't related to Mel Brooks. He has created, written, and/or produced numerous TV shows, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant, Rhoda, Taxi, and The Simpsons. He also produced the films Big, Jerry McGuire, and exec produced Say Anything.

[@RetroClassic66]

I’m really glad that you made room for this one, Ashleigh. There are so many movies that are well worth seeing and reacting to that nobody (or almost nobody) reacts to on KZbin, and a lot of them are from the last century but weren’t necessarily big blockbusters or genre films that appealed mostly to teenagers or young adults. Some of them were just very good dramas that touched the heart and illuminated the human condition, and don’t often get talked about by the usual film enthusiasts of today. Some do, but they usually get drowned out by talk about the franchises or the big moneymakers or the cult hits. But movies like this were often the backbone of the film industry for many years, and would get noticed by critics and at awards time, but the general public zeitgeist usually just takes them for granted. So it’s nice to see you shedding a little light on movies like this.

[@mass4552]

Robin Williams, John Lithgow and Glenn Close. The World According To Garp. Half bust a gut laughing and half very serious and emotional.

Pierre-Auguste Renior (Ren wah) is a very famous painter from 1841-1919 he's an early impressionist a good friend of Claude Monet (Mo-nea, another famous impressionist). Renior has paintings sell for over 3/4 of a million dollars, so the painting the mother owns is worth quite a lot.

Larry McMurtry also wrote the novels The Last Picture show, which was made into a movie in the early '70s with Jeff Bridges and others; its sequel Texasville, some 20 years later, which was also made into a movie with Jeff Bridges and the same director; Lonesome Dove, which was made into a miniseries with Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, and Angelica Huston; He also wrote the sequel to this, Evening Star.

[@brickm]

Lonesome Dove is the best thing ever filmed in my opinion. Larry McMurtry also cowrote the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain.

For my 20th birthday (11/63), my sister took me out for dinner and a movie. This was the movie (dinner was Emil Villa’s, since you were wondering). It solidified my “meh” feelings about Jeff Daniels (don’t fret; I’ve come to appreciate him), and of course, I balled like a baby! It was funny, snarky, sweet, sad - all the things.

[@Candicexan]

First off, BIG HUG for watching this movie!! Anytime I need a good cry, I put on this, or Steel Magnolias. And yes, baby car seats were an afterthought in the early 80s! Great reaction and thank you for watching this incredible movie.

[@Nate6981]

I love the idea of you and Blake hugging each other like Aurora and Garrett just grabbing each other's booty. That's hilarious and you definitely should.

This movie always makes me cry at the end. I lost my mom when I was 16. So I always cry for the kids. I know it is a sequel call Evening Star. But I never watched it. And to reference some of the things for the past in this movie. The Burger King restaurant use to look like that before they remodeled in the 90’s. And if you called someone on a Rotary phone. And it was busy the operator could do an emergency interruption. (I feel really old knowing this stuff)And the baby had croup. People usually run a steamy shower to help the baby.

So I heard Roger Corman passed away last night. Roger Corman was a legendary filmmaker, king of the B-movies, and launched so many careers. So yeah, definitely, I gotta recommend a movie to honor his passing. There are honestly so many horror movies I could choose from, but I think it really comes down to one choice: One of his Edgar Allan Poe movies. His Edgar Allan Poe are celebrated and regarded as some of Roger Corman's best work, and for good reason. Roger Corman tried his best to adapt the Poe stories while also being original and paying tribute to Poe. They're gothic movies dripping with atmosphere. If I had to suggest any of them, I would recommend either the 1960 movie House of Usher or the 1964 movie The Masque of the Red Death, if that's OKay? Those are the two best of the Edgar Allan Poe series. It'd be another reason to react to them. I think it'd make for a fun reaction 🙂

[@THOMMGB]

I think he gave Jack Nicholson and James Cameron his start along with many others.

[@JebWCManning]

@@THOMMGB Yup. He started the careers of many people like Jack Nicholson, James Cameron, Ron Howard, Joe Dante, Dick Miller, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. Amongst many others.

[@richardb6260]

Of the films Corman personally rejected, I think X, The Man With the X-Ray Eyes is one of his best. Of his Poe films, The Raven is fun. It would give Ashleigh a change to see Price, Lorre, and Karloff together as well as a young Jack Nicholson.

[@richardb6260]

@@THOMMGB Coppola, Ron Howard, Peter Bogdanovich, and Joe Dante all directed their first films for Corman. Scorsese directed his second film for Corman. James Cameron's first film wasn't for Corman. But he did work as an FX artist for Cameron.

[@stephenolan5539]

Either Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson in a minor role or Grand Theft Auto. Oppie Cunningham directed it. He complained about Corman not hiring enough actors. Corman told him, if you do a good job you will never have to work for me again. Ron Howard plays a poor boy in love with a rich girl. Her father doesn't approve. She has steal a car. Then either the mother or father steals a car to chase them. After a cop has his squad car stolen he commandeers a bus load of seniors. ( if my memory is right) and those are just a few of the stolen cars...

As soon as I told her what I'd watched she said "aw baby" and talked to me til I calmed down. When my mom passed 3 years ago, I couldn't help but think of this movie and how precious the relationship between mother and daughter is. I miss her everyday.
