Ryan Reynolds Shares His Thoughts About Classic Films | Guest Programmer | TCM

[@cornbredx]

I love that Ryan Reynolds did this. He seems to legitimately know and appreciate these films which is either a testament to your editor or his actual appreciation for films. Grosse Point Blank is a classic for me. It's one of those movies when I stumble on it somewhere, or in my collection, I watch it again. That movie is so clever and it makes sense he would be a fan of it too. I cant believe Ryan Reynolds is only a couple years older than me. I never knew that before this video.

[@tomm5780]

I absolutely understood Ryan's comment regarding TCM being his digital comfort blanket.

[@JoeO.]

It’s so rare that the term “ass clown” gets used on TCM. We need more of it.

[@hgal23]

Loved seeing such an authentic conversation between the two of them

[@julierogers1155]

Me too.

[@Bossjohinator74]

This is such a breath of fresh air, after the avalanche of promos Ryan Reynolds has been doing. He is always funny, but watching an interview geared towards a more cerebral audience was great!

[@playedout148]

Constantly "on" Ryan Reynolds can be a bit much.

[@beebeeguy69]

Reynolds is so eloquent about the nuts and bolts of story telling. Great interview. And his choice of Grosse Pointe Blank...superb fim!

[@chrisholzhauer3698]

There are very few actors that can pull off what John Candy could do. He was so talented, taken too soon.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

The opening shots of this video with the two guys smiling at each other looks like they are about to head out to the dance floor together.

[@Zed-fq3lj]

‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’ is one of the most humane movies of all times, could be the best 'buddies on the road' ever!

[@Galacticpurveyor]

Grosse Point Blank is still great. Saw it when it was released and watched it a number of times since. Killer cast and soundtrack.

[@christyverplank3552]

You can’t go home again but I guess you can shop there. 😂

[@8517vini]

They got TCM!? They even went on TCM!? This press junket run is unbelievable!

[@JoellePretty]

OMG now I want a John Cusack/Ryan Reynolds movie!!!

[@gabzpot]

Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my favorites movies ever. I still remember watching for the first time when I was 11 years old, 24 years ago.

[@poohhoney816]

Love Grosse Point BLANKE....I got back with my high school sweet heart round the same time after 10yrs too Love Cussack

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

Going back in "Grosse Pointe Blank" to see that his childhood home is "gone" really hit me personally...

[@kevinmasuda5989]

Agreed! One of my all time favorite films.

[@playedout148]

Fun movie.

[@d.tesneair5805]

War Inc. Highly recommend

[@JoellePretty]

I used to have only either The Weather Channel or Turner Classic Movies on at all times in my mid 20's. Gold.

[@cherylhuot4436]

Love knowing he’s a TCM fan. So few young people have time for classic films.

[@julierogers1155]

MORE than you think .... AND, they have their own culture to live ...

[@videovoidtv]

Two of my favorite movies. Jesus, I love Ryan even more now. I’ve seen Grosse Point like 8-9 times.

[@sarahturner9028]

I can't believe Planes, Trains and Automobiles was made in 1987! I saw it in the theatre lol.

[@QueenOfTheNorth65]

I did, too.

[@righteousrawb7225]

Damn you old lol

[@85pphoenix]

Life is going by way too fast! At least you'll always know you went to the theatre back when it was still worth going to the theatre, kids today will never know...

[@kameronhailey-m7076]

Damn. Give me a Ryan Reynolds and Dan Akroyd joint before I die.

[@Nimno74]

This! This is why I like Ryan Reynolds.

[@Wigfield84]

Love that Ryan watches so much TCM! I also totally clocked that reference to PTaA in the scene with Wolvie and Deadpool in the Odyssey 😊

[@timothywilliams2252]

Ryan is one of the truly great talents in film (in front of, and behind, the camera), and I truly hope he gets more artistic freedom as time progresses

[@vinnyv949]

It’s crazy that we consider movies from the late 80s and 90s “classics” now.

[@waltergiles86]

I can't believe that toddlers are deciding what classics are😮!!! If you weren't able to see a movie before the ratings system, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A CLASSIC!!!!😮 I added the 4th exclamation point for 45😅!

[@clairedisapia]

My grandchildren love TCM , they are 5,4 and 2 years old. They love the musicals and westerns and the silent films with Chaplain and Keaton. My two favorite movies are The Women and BabyFace…and of course Gone With the Wind

[@WarlordRising]

As a fan of both of these films, I see Ryan's inspiration for Deadpool. Especially, Grosse Pointe Blank. Great soundtrack, great comedy, and lots of bloody action.

[@kelownatechkid]

This is a great initiative! Sync up promos with big stars and get some eyeballs on the classics

[@CBright7831]

How did I know Ryan would pick a John Candy film before I even clicked the thumbnail? 😆 No shade at all, because John Candy and _Planes, Trains, and Automobiles_ are absolute classics! Great minds think alike, Ryan Reynolds!

[@elwyndude]

In Dec 2022, I was headed to my brothers for Christmas with his family. I missed my connecting flight literally by 5 mins (because of a delay in boarding) and had to get a diverted flight to a closer town. I took a taxi from the new airport to a motel, forgot my gloves in the taxi and then checked in. $45 for the taxi, 150 for the motel. I went to my room where my brother would pick me up next morning for a 3 hr drive to his home (through the snow storm). After a 16 hour travel day, I was so worn out when I got into the hotel room I just ordered a large pizza and coke and took off my stinking, dirty socks and verbally said "My dogs are barking". Turned on the TV and Planes, Trains was playing - just after the scene where his flight was cancelled. It was one of the best parts of my trip. Pizza, Coke and Candy - It was as if the gods were saying "You survived our trail. You are rewarded.". A great personal memory.

[@poohhoney816]

Ryan and Hugh need to remake PAINT YOUR WAGON together ...been a dream of mine ...loaded with cameos ...a thing to remember ! Would be great with those two

[@poohhoney816]

i wrote Ryan a few times suggesting it with no reply - wrote Hugh and he gave me a thumbs up and then a heart...Keanu Reeves on Hughs page gave me a thumb and heart also. Its the type of movie that America needs right now - I would fill it with cameos with singers, comedians and old actors

[@bethelle9099]

Great idea!!!

[@MosesWine]

I like that a popular actor is speaking about Planes, Trains and Automobiles like its an important movie. Its well written, well acted, and well directed. A classic. He seems to appreciate great movies, which makes his career such a conundrum. He seems to only make one type of movie. I wish that he would use his influence to make a real thought provoking film again. The only one I can think of is Adventureland and that was YEARS ago. Cmon Ryan. You made your bucks, now make some cinema!

[@apocalypsepow]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is my favorite John Hughes movie

[@verenov77]

"10 years, MAN! 10 YEARS!"

[@derekseven1647]

That's one of my favorite lines from any movie when he kept repeating that

[@tbecker97204]

Maybe no "traditional" acting classes, but *TONS* of natural talent and spontaneous reactions. Those are hard to learn.

[@mhaze210]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles I always loved so when they played it at a theater I went with about 5 friends. It was as busy as a new release since it's still a great film. One of the best comedies that made me cry. Deadpool & Wolverine had some really good moments too.

[@EmilyKresl]

Nice, however way to make me feel old! I never thought I'd ever see a John Hughes film on TCM. I thought y'all were gonna talk about "All About Eve" or "Arsenic and Old Lace."

[@FreddyKurganNimmo]

I know what you mean. I nearly lost my $#¡t when "Evil Dead 2" showed up on TCM😮

[@EmilyKresl]

@@FreddyKurganNimmo I would lose my mind too, but I'd still watch it even tho I have the DVDS to show TCM some support!

[@movieace1295]

Guess I'm watching Grosse Point Blank tonight :) Seen it once, maybe 10 years ago.

[@TheRealmfc90125]

So well done. Nice to see Reynolds demonstrating why he’s actually a great actor.

[@tmccallco]

TCM has been burning my TV screen 24 hours a day since April 14th, 1994- well, many TV screens.

[@BraxtonWages]

That’s awesome that he recommended Grosse Pointe Blank. That movie is amazing.

[@KowProdMedia]

Continually proving why he's been my favorite actor since I first saw him in Van Wilder. They guy is just genuine and earnest to the core, I love that.

[@Garsons-oq4lh]

😂😂😂😂

[@anasshahid224]

Solid list by Ryan Reynolds, Ryan is the man! He’s one of my favorite actors, always does good movies, a phenomenal actor. His work on the Deadpool movies, The Adam Project and 6 Underground are among my favorites.

[@stevesheroan4131]

I think the scene that never gets enough mention in GPB is when he runs into his teacher and they have the most aggressive passive-aggressive interaction ever. It’s my go-to for explaining passive-aggressiveness to people who don’t understand the concept.

[@poohhoney816]

Love Allan Arkin..."In Laws" one of my FAVS !

[@playedout148]

Great straight man.

[@Sp8eight]

Serpentine! 😂Alan Arkin and Peter Falk were a perfect casting idea.

[@jrnsurlan405]

“Serpentine!”

[@spaceo8568]

I've really missed Ben. I love how much he loves movies.

[@RG-ds8pd]

Both two of my favorite ever.

[@renlessard]

Hopefully we can get TCM in Canada soon

[@MT-or7lv]

TCM is one of my favorite channels. Love it.

[@Kr0N05]

Still have the soundtrack CD for Grosse Point Blank - good stuff.

[@deancoronado4898]

I've been actively watching Ryan Reynolds since Blade Trinity and Van Wilder (yeah I know.) As my movie viewing has matured, it feels like Ryan Reynolds has matured since "Waiting," which was peak Ryan Reynolds: Act I. I would enjoy discussing movies with this guy, particularly because I completely get ALL his humor. And we both watched these movies at similar ages.

[@marshallross3373]

Great interview. Good film choices, and Ryan's explanation certainly sheds light on his approach to Deadpool films.

[@oliverbaba1882]

That's the guy from "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place"! I wondered what happened to him... 🤔

[@Enjoyurble]

08:18 I caught that 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' homage, among many others, in "Deadpool & Wolverine", @vancityreynolds. Tried to catch references to John Cusack movies as well, but I drew a complete...Blank.

[@brightangel133]

GPB is one of the most quotable in your everyday life movies. And the soundtrack kicks ass. 😊 Deadpool films, though very different, I can see a bit of GPB in each. Well done, Ryan. Well done.

[@preciousgorgeousralf137]

Do more of this series immediately.

[@rollerdragon]

#Mank YES!! and a great ryan speak along..

[@ColemanJRimer]

I was IN LOVE with Minnie Driver in those days.

[@THEchiQ]

GPB is my favourite John Cusack film.

[@shadai2929]

Ryan Reynolds the host of 2025 Academy Awards

[@itskitty808]

I used to watch old movies on TCM. Now, I either stream them or rent them digitally. I fucking love Planes, Trains, and Automobiles! Out of all of John Candy's films, that one is my favorite.

[@ChicCanyon]

I really enjoyed this. Thank you both.

[@marcor7044]

I wish he did this sort of thing more often instead of just scrubbing all aspect of being a human off to preserve a brand

[@RubaiatGoesToInternet]

Grosse Point Blank, High Fidelity are some of my reasons for despising what the movie "industry" seem to have become. Can we get TCM in Australia?

[@randolphpinkle4482]

Ryan looks like he just woke up with a wicked hangover.

[@jarenbigelow8606]

Perfect choice Mr. Canada

[@eduardodiaz2649]

Great guy Funny Love the two movies he chose I’m old enough that these are new classics Was curious about his view of maybe Noir movies

[@prplno1]

PTAA is one of if not the funniest movies ever made , Thank you for pointing it out Ryan ( I’m Canadian) so I call him by his first name cause we all know each other and John Candy is God Oh and TCM is a Treasure Trove of awesome movies

[@jeffreywillstewart]

Oddly , Edie was yet another successful actor who started in " Carrie "

[@Bakoska]

grosse pointe blank is great movie!

[@RG-ds8pd]

Ben is so awesome!!

[@markseven7]

RR must be doing something right! My favorite is The Adam Project: funny, touching and cool sci-fi. Plus a great classic rock soundtrack.

[@davidcallan7844]

Those aren’t pillows! ❤️

[@cameron1975williams]

A class act.

[@Garsons-oq4lh]

William Powell a class act; Reynolds is trash.

[@kristalynnette8352]

Please make a subscription plan available for streaming other than tv subscription logins!!!! 🙏

[@KristianTorres-g9b]

hey can you make more godzilla clips and non toho godzilla movies please i want them

[@MarkCerbo]

What could be cool? If only Ryan Reynolds were the next guest on "Only Murders in the Building," he would appear beside Steve Martin.

[@fngmain6864]

Why didn't Ryan and Hugh come on my show? I am expecting them on "A dude" for their next press junket. You cannot say you've done all of the press until you are on "A dude".

[@jaredgarlock1594]

How are these movies on TCM??? They are not old enough to be on TCM. TCM has all the great movies from the 30s to the 60s.

[@waltergiles86]

Since when did anything made after 1975 become a FNCLASSIC!!!!😮

[@845H1R]

Both the movies he's picked have love at the centre, agreed. I wish D&W wasn't so mean spirited by comparison.

[@Katnip452]

He’s so charming. Shame he’s never tried being IN a classic film.

[@willd9298]

I saw the movie you can stop hawking it now

[@eduardodiaz2649]

Those are pillows

[@realrobrose]

OH, YOU GOT NOTHING TO SAY, MOUTH?!

[@ishmaelprimeaux3564]

So this is who's really under the ryan Mask. Or deadpool suit

[@lynnhubbard844]

not really...he over performs in all interviews...very uncomfortable

[@jarenbigelow8606]

ya ya ya all that analysis stuff but also GPB has Benny the Jet! Felix LaPoubelle! translated means cat garbage

[@deadpool8340]

John cussck vs Benny the jet !!!

[@playedout148]

Great video on the KZbin set to Clutch's binge and purge w Benny highlights.

[@phillipbuckley3894]

👍🏻

[@personalbusiness5395]

“We have TCM 24 hours a day 7 days a week” in a room where no one is watching. I don’t believe that for a second

[@RG-ds8pd]

Grosse Pointe is too weird not to love.

[@shampoovta]

Here is a pitch. I need this guy to tell these young people to dip in to the well of old movies and film history and all the reasons why they should. Reaction kids only react to mostly newer movies and they need this info man. Maybe start with the Third Man or Born Yesterday. These kids need a Guru and that is YOU uh, ru. ☺

[@ChrisMeadows92]

A big ole box of insist pr0n.

[@KohalaLover]

Ryan Reynolds, for the most part, does easy to act films. Superheroes are for children: Deadpool, Green Lantern, etc. Entertaining for the masses. The Proposal: cute but pure fluff. The two films Reynolds enjoys are ok but nothing special. I understand Reynolds is massively popular but I don’t find much depth in his two recommendations. Signed, A classic film admirer.

[@playedout148]

Yeah Shane he didn't sneak into "Thin Red Line" like so many.
