"The Man Who Would Be King" is a 1975 adventure film directed by John Huston, starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine. The movie is based on the 1888 novella of the same name by Rudyard Kipling. This movie is not well known for reasons that I don't understand. It is a hidden gem of an adventure tale and well worth a review.

Entrapment. The league of extraordinary gentlemen.

[@p2va73xc6j3]

The added line at the end was from Bill in "Caddyshack". A must see.

[@dynamodan8216]

"That'll Do Pig" is not a Bill Murray movie, it's "Babe" a movie about a pig that learns to heard sheep.

And is a wonderful movie.

​@@johnmaynardableyeah, super sweet.

I highly recommend "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006), starring Abigail Breslin (the younger sister). A dark comedy about a dysfunctional family on a road trip, from New Mexico to California, trying to get their daughter there in time for a child beauty pageant.

[@VerowakReacts]

A dark comedy you say? I'm in!

[@KurtFeudaleKing]

Agree, it is such a little gem of a movie. Amazing cast, acting, and a unique touching story. And even some great laughs. Great movie.

[@malingor7042]

I wouldn't call it a 'dark comedy' though, that means something else But. It's excellent, funny, moving and DOES cover many serious topics and isn't anywhere known enough / reacted to enough

If you like movies starring Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray, the gold standard is still "Kingpin."

[@igloo2158]

Woody Harrelson is good and just about anything he plays. One of those actors everyone loves. True Detective season 1 would be a great series to watch. It’s excellent and keeps you guessing.

Woody Harrelson with Mathew McConaughey are great in True Detective Season 1.

The movie was originally pitched as a tv show, which is why the Zombie Kill Of the Week scene exists. Each episode would feature one.

[@Hail_To_The_King]

*RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985)* is the best zombie horror-comedy imo

Woody Harrelson is perfect in (and for) this film. Like Jason Bateman, Harrelson's an underrated actor, IMO.

[@martensjd]

Twinkies: I worked in this place from '86 - '88 and we had a pair of Twinkies we his in each others offices, and when you found the Twinkies, you his them in someone else's office. They did not go bad in 2 years, so I think eating them past the expiration date is no problem.

[@leeneufeld4140]

I never liked Woody in Cheers, it just didn't seem a good fit for him. Then I saw him in Natural Born Killers, and he became one of my favourite actors :)

[@mattbiggs1992]

I'd forgotten Bill Murray was in this What a random cameo!

[@VerowakReacts]

Yes!! Just like Sean Connery in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves! I love random cameos like that, where a well known actor plays a small part

[@neilfleming2787]

lol, last Bill Murray quote at the end is from Caddyshack

Bill Murray movies - go for "The man that knew too Little." For Jessie, check out "Now You See Me".

Return of The Living Dead (1985) Best Zombie Movie Ever

[@johnnyrivas2619]

I hope you rewatch The Social Network sometime in the near future, it's a fantastic film.

[@mwrench4185]

I'll add my name to True Detective Season 1, one of the best TV series I've seen. Incredible acting by McConaughey and Harrelson. Eisenberg is good in The Social Network.

[@dallesamllhals9161]

[@DylansPen]

I never watched zombie movies but this movie changed my mind. I did not want this movie to end.

[@VerowakReacts]

Thankfully there's a sequel!

[@dashalpha]

I'm not a fan of zombies at all but absolutely love this movie and Shaun of the Dead (you'd probably enjoy that if you liked this), and the video game Days Gone.

[@toddjohnson350]

Adventureland, also with Eisenberg.

[@arraymac227]

Saw this at a midnight showing at the Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax Nova Scotia in 2010. Loved it then. #32 is my favorite rule. Getting #1 on a t-shirt for my daily walks.

[@NateAZ]

For some fantastic, very early Bill Effin' Murray, watch old episodes of Saturday Night Live from 1977 through 1979, when he was a cast member on the show. Those years were iconic, with some of the greats, Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin and the funny AF John Belushi all also being cast members.

[@sithlordkaeyl21]

Every time I see this, and Columbus and Wichita talk about being in 8th grade in 1997, it really makes me feel old, because I’d already graduated high school years before and been married for a few years by ’97.

[@BreakingBees]

Dead mans shoes. Get it watched

[@dallesamllhals9161]

Natural Born Killers(1994) My Woody! Cheers...

[@Scott_Burton]

"That'll do, pig." is definitely not a Bill Murray movie. It's from a movie called "Babe", 1995 Starring James Cromwell. And that's all I'm going to say about that, since I don't know if you've seen it. The last scene with Bill Murray was, I believe from Caddy Shack (Which was a Bill Murray movie)

[@kevinehle6637]

Bill Murray au revoir gopher is from his amazing role in the movie CADDYSHACK. A true classic comedy movie.

[@SilkenShame]

For Woody Harrelson, "White Men Can't Jump" is a good and funny movie, light hearted. "No Country for Old Men" is a great movie with him in a more minor role.

[@wiseoldman53]

I agree with you that this role was definitely made for Jesse Eisenberg. His portrayal of Lex Luther was, to put it mildly, uncomfortable. I think that was in part of whoever cast him in the role. And Woody was awesome as Tallahassee! Emma and Abigail were great, too. All four of them worked well together. You'll definitely want to watch the next one. It's even funnier. 🤣 Great reaction!

[@VerowakReacts]

Thank you!! I think sometimes casting purposely takes a chance on an actor who doesn't seem to fit the role. Sometimes it works out great, other times... not so much

[@apatternedhorizon]

This movie hit at the perfect time. Perfectly crafted to be a success.

[@joshuasingleton9373]

This is one of my favorite action/comedies. I highly recommend the sequel, which came out 10 years later with the same cast. Even Bill Murray makes a cameo during the ending credits!

[@Venjax420]

The best Woody Harlson movie ... Natural Born Killers. It also has Robert Downey Jr. and Juliette Louis. It's pretty bloody.

[@VerowakReacts]

Not sure how it'll do as reaction if there's a lot of blood (due to yet copyright and blocking videos lol)

[@Venjax420]

True, I'm sure good editing could get around it. Not that I know anything about editing..lol. But even if it's not a reaction, take a night off for yourself and give it a watch.

Besides the sequel Zombieland: Double Tap, another zombie comedy I recommend watching is Shaun of the Dead. Other films with Jesse Eisenberg include The Social Network, Now You See Me, Now You See Me 2, 30 Seconds or Less, Adventureland and Justice League. Columbus is in Ohio, Tallahassee is in Florida, Wichita is in Kansas and Little Rock is in Arkansas

[@eowyns4181]

If you want to see Woody in a non-mentor role I would recommend watching the first season of True Detective. Genius series and wonderful performances by the actors. I would also mention a bit of a trigger warning because there's some pretty heavy stuff in there but it is well worth the effort!

[@grife3000]

Woody's best movies are "No Country for Old Men" and "Seven Psychopaths." I'll also mention "EdTV" and "The Edge of Seventeen."

[@twoheart7813]

Yes, a fun movie and enjoyed your reaction. When Woody played the banjo & said you have a pretty mouth to the zombie he was making reference to the movie Deliverance.

There are frequently references to other movies that I miss. This is a great example of that !

Somebody else in all these comments probably already said, but just in case not: "That'll do, pig" is from the 1995 talking pig movie, "Babe". Great movie. The sequel, "Babe: Pig in the City", was cowritten and directed by Mad Max auteur George Miller!

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction like always, Love this movie. And a fun-fact, this script was originally written as a TV pilot for a series but the network didnt bought it, so it was turned into a movie script. Had it been a series we would've found out more of Columbus' rules as it went along and had a different Zombie Kill of the Week for each new episode. It also explains why Little Rock and Wichita, who had been shown to be very smart throughout the movie would all of sudden turn stupid and not realize that turning on the amusement park would attract every zombie in the area. They didn't have a "movie ending" in the original TV script. So this was put together just to rush the movie out.

[@VerowakReacts]

Thank you!! I think it would have been great as a tv series. Thanks for the info about the rushed ending, it makes a lot more sense now lol

I HIGHLY recommend Bound ( hardly anyone reacts to it). It was the Warshawskis first film, which led to them making The Matrix, it was basically 'proof' they could make films. Long before they came out as trans too.
