Big (1988) First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@kennethwhitaker6816]

Cast Away is brilliant

[@laurenherda2415]

The Money Pit and the Burbs are my favorite of Hanks

[@JJreactsTV]

Sounds good to me! I’ve seen bits and pieces of the money pit and the burbs is new for me. This Tom hanks playlist is going to be great. Thank you 🤓

[@belletelaraboutique5141]

"Turner and Hooch" and "The Green Mile" are great Tom Hanks movies

[@KellyHilgerRealtor]

The Green Mile is the absolute best Tom Hanks movie…make sure you have Kleenex ❤

[@KellyHilgerRealtor]

For October: Practical Magic is a great Halloweenie chick flick.. not scary at all but good for gaining a female audience. I don’t love horror so I’ll let others help you with that. But I do love The walking Dead and Supernatural. You can’t watch those in a month tho 😂😂😂

[@JJreactsTV]

Oh boy. I’ve heard this before. 🫣

[@KellyHilgerRealtor]

@@JJreactsTV the Green mile is WORTH it! There are movies that make you cry like Million Dollar Baby, and the Notebook.. (both movies I e only seen once and don’t care to see again) and there’s movies that are DEEP and make you think and feel on another level… like the Green Mile. It will piss you off and you’ll grieve, but you’ll also love it and have zero regrets.

Hanks recs: Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away, Catch Me If You Can (sorta true)

[@williamjones6031]

1. That's the same toy store used in "Home Alone II". 2. "Movie magic" a child getting an apartment in NY City 3. Every time I see baby corn I think of this movie. 4. Elizabeth Perkins could get it.😍😋😈 5. There's a Zoltar machine at Circus Circus casino in Reno in the parking area lobby. It must be plugged in to work though. 6. Would I go back? Hell yeah! I didn't have that prosperous a family, and I still would. 7. Tom Hanks is the GOAT.🤩 8. Thank you Penny Marshall. Tom Hanks recommendation: "The Green Mile". You WILL cry.😭

[@JJreactsTV]

🤣 so good. I was cracking up reading your comment. Thank you for hanging out and chatting I love the engagement. The green mile will be lurking in the future

[@Bluedreamflying]

I love your reactions because you have so much commentary while watching, more than any other reactors I’ve seen, and you still catch everything in the film.

[@JJreactsTV]

Thank you, I appreciate it. My “lizard brain” pays off for something 🤓 I can pay attention to multiple things at once. Always wanted to be a sports broadcaster 😆

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

If you want more young Tom Hanks - check out The Money Pitt. Absolutely hilarious about home renovations gone awry. The physical comedy in it is amazing.

[@candicelitrenta8890]

I LOVE that one

[@GreenAliceVerte]

I was gonna suggest that! 😄 love that movie! Man, I don't think Tom Hanks has ever made a bad movie.

[@jamesm654]

We have a bar in downtown LA called Bar82. All 1980's arcade games and alcohol:) Should watch "Splash" for and early Tom Hanks film

[@CRAkins1020]

I suggested that "Rom Com" the other day after watching his 'League of Their Own' reaction😊.

[@JJreactsTV]

I love those style of establishments…barcades? 🤓 there’s one not too far from me as well. NBA Jam and MK 2 all day! Thank you for chilling

[@Bethany-we1xc]

If you want creepy (with an actual story),The Others is GREAT!

[@Bluedreamflying]

You might like 1989’s Say Anything, with John Cusack and Ione Skye.

[@Bluedreamflying]

There was another age switch movie that was also released in ‘88, Vice Versa, with Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage (from TV’s Wonder Years). It was almost the exact same movie as Like Father, Like Son with Dudley Moore and Kirk Cameron, released the previous year, and was considered a flop.

[@candicelitrenta8890]

I thought it was hysterical

[@JJreactsTV]

Oh man I loved the wonder years as a kid. I can barely remember the episodes now but I remember certain situations…and Winnie 🤓

[@Bluedreamflying]

@@JJreactsTV Danica McKellar, Winnie. is a mathematician with quite a few published books.

[@raramonty5217]

Chick Flicks Tom Hanks Meg Ryan Sleepless In Seattle and You Got Mail

[@embercello9688]

And Joe Versus the Volcano

[@Bluedreamflying]

I was a teenager in the 80s, and pinball was my favorite arcade game, because you could win free games. I could play for hours with just a couple of dollars.

[@mushpurple]

New york has beautiful trees in the fall. I used to live on Long Island, and the fall was so beautiful

[@JJreactsTV]

I’ve been in New England since I was born. The leaves are a big deal 🤓😆

[@kennethwhitaker6816]

No it’s racket ball, pickle ball wade the invented yet

[@libertyresearch-iu4fy]

There are lots of other popular Tom Hanks movies: Apollo 13, The Green Mile, and Toy Story (voice only), but I would like you to watch 'That Thing You Do'. His part is small, but he wrote the screenplay and some of the music. It is a fun one.

[@kennethwhitaker6816]

I’m in the middle of Florida nothing but palm trees, leaves stay the same year around

[@candicelitrenta8890]

I went on one of those rides as a young adult and it was not adjusted right and I almost slid right out of the safety harness. I was screaming so loud, and no one believed me. The guys who were running it were down there laughing at me. I could have died. I was so pissed

[@JJreactsTV]

I do maintenance work myself and daily inspections. The tiniest things make a difference

[@candicelitrenta8890]

On the hwy to Las Vegas there is the town called Barstow. There is this truck stop, restaurant place and a Zoltar machine is right there. They must have made a few of them after this came out. It was a popular movie when it did.

[@JJreactsTV]

I would have to try it just for the hell of it now 🤓

[@LeighMet]

They actually filmed a ending where she did turn back to a kid.

[@JJreactsTV]

That would be a great ending

[@CRAkins1020]

1. I agree with your take on reactors and their viewers. It is like watching stuff with your friends... I also think it's a form of validation in the sense that, you're finding a community with your seemingly comparable sensibilities (the connection...) I can tell right away within the first few seconds if I'm going to "connect" with a reactor. And, even if it's a movie/ tv show I really enjoy and want to see the same sort of "validation" via another person/ reactor, I can tell (or at least I think or sense I can tell) if the reactor isn't genuine with all the bells and whistles. You seem sincere and genuine, which is why I've subscribed to re-watch with you. (with all the choices on KZbin I've only subscribed to 8 channels for entertainment reactions... and only 2 are American (you being 1 of them... and do I detect a Wisconsin accent?) 2. And speaking of Tom Hanks via my other comment... the first thing I remembered seeing him in was a Tv series called 'Bosom Buddies' with Peter Scalari... about 2 men who decide to take up housing in an All Female residential building in NYC (because it was cheaper....) and all the shenanigans and tom foolery that ensues with them as "women" (oh and then Tom was on 'Family Ties' as Uncle Ned (oh and Genna Davis was on that series too as their maid....) as far as this movie goes... eh... it wasn't bad. But not my favorite. 3. Taking money from your parents... When I was 17ish, I was in my parents room (looking for money) and I found $45 thousand in their bottom drawer (I counted it...) and then put it all back because... it was $45 thousand...( if it were $400... maybe a 20 or two would have gone missing... but not anything to do with $45 thousand should be missing after you find it in your parents bottom drawer)

[@CRAkins1020]

p.s. I never even think I ever mentioned or questioned them about it... nor do I think they ever mentioned they had it... and I don't remember anything "new" that was ever bought in that time frame... shrugs... parents have secrets and money stashed away in their bottom drawers I suppose.

[@cinemeleon2808]

Yesss!!! Zora's Domain!! 🎵🎶🎮🤩♥♥🙌🏾🙌🏾💫

[@kaygee2121]

Rat Race is a great Jon Lovitz underrated movie!

[@JJreactsTV]

I will watch anything that he is in. I love his own lil creepy asshole style 🤣

[@waynem.7226]

I would turn the light back on too.

[@GoddessGirl2121]

Hey, I just started watching your reactions recently and I'm loving them all so far, I also have some requests/ recommendations. First for October/ Halloween season I would suggest 'The Covenant' and 'Skinwalkers' from 2006 and 'Premonition' and 'Disturbia' from 2007 and just a couple more because I've never seen anyone react to them and I think that they're great movies and those would be 'Heart and Souls' from 1993 and 'Chill Factor' from 1999. Once again I love your videos so keep up the good work!

[@JJreactsTV]

Thank you for being so nice and leaving recommendations for me 🤓 I always appreciate engagement. I’m compiling quite the “spooky” list so this will help. Thank you again for hanging out with us 🥹

[@GoddessGirl2121]

@@JJreactsTV Awesome, I look forward to seeing what you come up with and thanks for the quick response to my comments, keep up the good work! 😀😀

[@kennethwhitaker6816]

When I was 16 and living in Memphis I would go get a job at the Mid-south fair. It was a week long I would work one of the games making $150 a night. At 16 that’s a lot of money. Some of the most fun I ever had. That was30 or 40 years ago.

[@JJreactsTV]

That sounds fun. I would bet you met some very interesting people working that fair 🫨

[@NeaJewelry]

Hello! New here, that was a great react! :) My Hanks suggestions: - oldschool comedy Hanks in Turner&Hooch! - based on true stories: drama Catch me if you can, and dramedy The Terminal. -drama: Cast Away, The Green Mile - romantic comedies: You’ve Got Mail, Larry Crowne More recent Hanks: A Man Called Otto. Apparently Captain Phillips is great too, but i haven’t seen it yet 😅 Looking forward to watching more videos! Off i go to The Longest Yard now 😆

[@JJreactsTV]

Hi! Thank you for hanging out and leaving many good recommendations. Catch me if you can hasn’t been suggested yet I don’t think (in case I missed it) but I’m looking forward to that after reading what it’s about 🫨

[@NeaJewelry]

​@@JJreactsTV I realized this morning I even forgot Philadelphia (real story, drama) and Road to Perdition (drama, one of the rare movies where he doesn't play an "overall good guy")... The dude is so talented, there's no end to the list. haha

[@abiabi521]

Gr8 reaction...you talk through some KEY moments though. "TURNER AND HOOCH" 1989 / "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN" 1989 ARE gr8 ones. Tom Hanks is one of the greats! 🙌🙌❤❤ He appeared on an episode of Saturday Night Live and He was AMAZING and FUNNY as usual! You should check it out seriously..."BLACK JEPARDY with TOM HANKS SNL" 2016

[@JJreactsTV]

Thank you for watching…I tend to blab a bit 🤓 I used to watch Saturday night live so much as a kid. I’ve seen that skit as well. And Mr pumpkins I think his name is

[@Cindrbell]

1408 is a good one for October

[@JJreactsTV]

It will be there 👻🎃
