I saw an interview with Goldie where she said the sweetest thing about Kurt. She talked about how she and Kurt were lying in bed when Overboard happened to come on TV, so they decided to watch it (even though they never watch their own movies). In the interview Goldie said about the experience of watching the movie with Kurt (which was decades after they had filmed it): "You know how sometimes you forget why you fell in love, I remembered everything and why I fell in love with him."
I saw that interview. For some reason it made me laugh imagining them casually going “oh, our movie is on, you feel like watching it? It might be pretty good”.
The off screen chemistry between Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn really shows in this movie. It's great to see a Hollywood relationship last this long, they have been a couple since 1983. Also, this is one of those movies that is not as widely known anymore, but very well loved by those who know it.
Kates the child of Goldie and Bill Hudson, of the Hudson Brothers, a music and comedy team). She does consider Kurt as her father, though (as per IMDb). Speaking of Kate, you need to add 200 Cigarettes to your list of romcoms to watch.

Kurt Russel is pretty much a can’t miss actor. He’s been in Hollywood since he was a kid and has had stability throughout his entire career. He never won an Oscar but he’s like Harrison Ford on screen with his charisma. I think it’s pretty amazing he and Goldie have been together the entire time.
CASSIE would love to watch Kurt Russell in EXECUTIVE DECISION (1996 action film), SOLDIER (1998 Sci-Fi film), and VANILLA SKY (2002 mind-blowing film opposite Tom Cruise) 😄
I love how he can become whatever character he's playing. It's hard to believe that the same person played this character, Snake Plissken, Todd (Solder) and Mac (The Thing).
The 80's when we had great movies, great music and people with talent. Now everything is bad because people have no talent anymore so they have to reboot things or sample 80's music (and they don't even do that well). It was such a better time in all aspects
I love how you went thru the character archs as the movie went on. At first you hate Annie and like Dean then hate Dean and like Annie. That's the beauty of the 80's movies
Love this film. It was actually the brainchild of Roddy McDowell, who appears in the movie as her Butler. He wanted to remake the screwball comedy's of the 1960's.
Just in case some may not know, screwball comedies go all the way back to the beginning, just like musicals and westerns. Some of the best ones came out in the '30s, but yeah, there are a few from the '60s also, like One, Two, Three and Irma La Douce.
@@thomast8539 that's true.. Roddy was quoted as saying that he wanted to emulate films like bringing up baby and especially the romantic silliness of the Doris Day film of the early 60s..
Also Rodney actually was an executive producer who helped bank roll the film. This type of rom com was not the norm in the '80's and was not a big hit at the theaters but once released on VHS a following grew. Now it's a feel good movie for generations
Since you mentioned not knowing "Pee Wee Herman"....the actor who created that character passed away today. Paul Reubens, whose alter ego Pee-wee Herman became a movie and television sensation in the 1980s, has died at 70. Today - Monday, July 31, 2023. With his signature bow tie, drainpipe pants, falsetto voice, and flattop hairdo, Pee-wee, as embodied by Mr. Reubens, became enshrined in the popular imagination as a symbol of childlike whimsy. He later had a very controversial end to his career which I will just not mention out of politeness.
The fact that they were married and stayed together makes this romantic comedy even more special. I'm 62 and live alone and wish i would have found that one love that lasted forever.
That's so cute that you know Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn as Kate Hudson's parents while I know her as their daughter. It's like watching movies with my daughters hearing you talk about what you're seeing. Tell your parents thanks and congratulations, they must've done something right :-)
I honestly think this is one of Goldie's best roles. To be able to make someone hate you as much as she did in the start and to have you genuinely care about her by the end. It's not as easy to do as some people may think. remind me of Jessica Rothe in Happy Death Day (i'm really surprised she didn't become a huge star).
The First Wives Club is so good. That came out in 1996. Which was 9 years after this movie came out. She doesn’t do a lot of movies now. She really doesn’t need to anymore. 🤷🏾♀️
Another vote for “Backdraft.” Kurt Russell’s acting was on fire in that one! Also, you really need to watch “A Perfect World” with Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, and Laura Dern.
I believe everyone knew this would be a movie you would love. I also believe you will be getting a lot of requests for Pee Wee Herman's first movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" (1985). It's a must watch family adventure comedy. As for Kurt Russel - There will be a lot of movie suggestions. I'd love for you to see "Used Cars" (1980) - it's a raunchy rated R comedy with a love story thrown in. Goldie Hawn recommendation - "Privat Benjamin" (1980). a rated R war comedy.
I knew you’d like this one. My favorite part was when he says what can I possibly give you that you don’t have and she says a little girl! That was perfect!
Cassie, I really appreciate you taking the time away from your family to show us your wholesome beautiful heart. Your parents must be so proud of the gems and precious heart you and your sister have. I have fond memories of my daughter sharing movie experiences with you and your sister. Please let your husband and kids know how grateful I and, I believe all of us here are, that the sacrifice time with you to let us share in the joy they have with you everyday.
Private Benjamin is a fantastic Goldie Hawn film. Wildcats is another personal favourite. Big trouble in little China, Soldier, and Escape from New York are great Kurt Russell films. For Halloween I would absolutely suggest The Thing for Kurt Russell and Death becomes her for Goldie Hawn, too.
Did you recognize the Portuguese man who rescued "Annie" from the water was Hector Elizondo from The Princess Diaries among many others? Her destruction of the teacher without ever cursing was beautiful. This came out in 1987, so Goldie had recently given birth to their only child, actor Wyatt Russell in 1986. Wyatt was in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
This is a wonderful reaction, but first things first - YOU MUST WATCH PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE!! 😂😂😂 So surprised to see you ask who Pee-Wee Herman is. You absolutely HAVE to watch it. He, and the movie, are amazing. ❤❤❤
Wow, you got real emotional on this one. In the hands of a lesser director and other actors, this could have been awful. But Hawn and Russell have such great chemistry onscreen, and Garry Marshall shows how great he is as a director, which hit the big time with Pretty Woman. Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch this again, it's been a while. Thanks for sharing!
❤ Thank you for doing this one. ❤ This was one of my late wife's favorite movies so even though it's a fun comedy I watch with a lump in my throat. I don't even know how many times we watched this one together. BTW it was Patrick Swayze who looked like Kurt Russell. Kurt was a child star and had over 15 years worth of experience before Patrick did his first movie. You could actually do a whole poll on just Kurt Russell movies. He may be retired now, but from working with Elvis, to playing Elvis, and making a successful leap from child actor to movie star, he's had a heck of a career. One last thing, if you haven't looked up Pee Wee Herman, you need to check him out. LOL
I’ve mentioned it several times, but it hasn’t happened yet. It’s so well done. It Happened One Night was redone for radio. I think it was the Lux radio Theater or something like that. All the original stars recreated their roles. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s worth your time to look it up.
When I first watched this, I thought Goldie was playing the ultimate snob looking down on the entire world and I hated her character. Then they showed him doing everything underhanded to bring her home and treat her like a slave and I thought less of Curt's character. I thought the kids belonged in a juvenile home for criminal minors. But my wife saw something in it and so we kept watching it. Boy did that movie redeem itself by the time he realized he loved her but she would not believe they did not belong together. I was really liking the movie by then. And then she said, "Hello, Grant!" and the fecal matter hit the air oscillating device. Finally, it was them diving into the sea to be together and I realized this was the ideal romcom. I absolutely love this movie!
Overboard, Captain Ron, Escape From New York, Escape From L.A., Big Trouble In Little China, The Thing, and Tango and Cash have always been my favorite Kurt Russell movies. And most of the rest of them also.
I think she'd be under the blanket a few times during BTiLC but there's zero chance she makes it through the thing. She'd get a good ten minutes in or so but that scene with the dogs in the cage is where I think she "nopes" right out of there 😂
"Who is Pee-Wee Herman?" I was dying laughin! Now you gotta watch Pee-Wee's Big Adventure! So glad you watched this and your reaction is just the sweetest and genuine as always. Thank you!
I was looking for this comment and prepared to make it myself if no one else did! I think you could classify Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a summer movie. One of my favorites of all time and so few reactors watch it.
Kurt is an amazing actor. He started acting at 12, and by the late 60's entered a 10 year contract with Disney, and has been in so many classic films; The Thing, Tango & Cash, Big Trouble In Little China, Soldier, Backdraft, Stargate, & Swing Shift with Goldie (this film was before Overboard), and so many others. Goldie has a ton of great films, Bird on a Wire, Pvt. Benjamin, and Death Becomes Her, etc. I recommend all of them :)
When I saw that you were watching 'Overboard' I laughed because I couldn't believe you hadn't already seen it but I also KNEW you would absolutely LOVE IT!... and sure enough you did. And yes... you can re-watch this movie over-and-over-and-over again... everybody's seen this movie like 16x. It's one of those movies where if you catch it on tv you stop what you're doing and watch the rest of the movie.
I'm an 87 baby and even at the time when it came across my tv screen, thanks to parents with great taste in films, every moment of it was enjoyed. Mind you, it certainly hits differently at 35yrs old than as a child, but Kurt Russell was almost always gold.
Life imitates art as as Kurt and Goldie are together celebrating their 40th. Anniversary together! As with previous comments and totally agree, every movie Kurt is in is great! He has tremendous intensity and at the same time, shows the human, funny, compassionate and practical side of his characters he portrays. Cassie, Kurt and Goldie are starring together in "The Christmas Chronicles " Part 1 and 2. A must see for you and your family! you will not be disappointed!!😉
Man overboard Woman overboard, she's wearing an evening dress sir Another man overboard Man overboard is kissing woman overboard The guy with arrows is being pulled in at Port It's a hell of a day at sea sir Love that scene
This was one of those movies in the "old" days of pre-streaming TV and it would just be on basically every weekend. This and Ghost I've probably seen the most, just because I would see it was on and stop to watch it, no matter where it was in the story. I'm so glad you liked it, although I knew you would! Wish your sis was there to watch it too 💚💚
Right? Totally agree. Makes me feel less dorky about being so emotionally invested in older movies where I feel the plot is well-written/acted, at least compared to today's overly recycled plots. 😂
Could not have said that any better. I am a 55 year old truck driver, and my sister, brother and myself like the same movies as Cassie and Carli (sp), have the same type of running commentary while watching any of them, and seems like the same kind of general sense of humor as well. Cassie, if the rest of your family is at all like you and your sis....rent a big boat, have a bunch of your fans/friends buy in on an afternoon party trip, and let's all watch some funny movies on a big screen on board!!! 🤣
Her chauffeur/butler is played by veteran Hollywood actor Roddy McDowell. He was a child actor. "How Green Was My Valley" was a big movie that you should watch. Other notable films were "Lassie Come Home," and "My Friend Flicka." As an older actor, he played a vampire slayer in "Fright Night," and starred in many TV dramas and comedies. He occasionally guest starred on the Carol Burnett Show.
In an interview, Kurt was asked how he had managed to stay married for 40 years (I think it was one of those Google autocomplete interviews). His answer was “Marry Goldie Hawn. If you can manage that, then you’ve got a pretty good chance”
I loved that you said “comfort movie”, my personal comfort movie is actually also a Goldie Hawn movie called “House Sitter”. I highly recommend that one if you haven’t seen it. Watching it just makes me happy. BTW, it’s lovely to see a young woman who is so compassionate and sweet.
The best line in this movie is... "I think we can take Olaf." He said it with such confidence. I remember laughing so hard at that line when this movie first came out.
Glad You Enjoyed This. You Can See Why Goldie & Kurt are Together In Real Life, They Have Amazing Chemistry Together This Film Has a lot Of Laughs & A Great Ending. Overboard is a Great Family Film
Oh! You'll also want to watch HouseSitter with Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin. It's a romcom from 1992. Basically Goldie Hawn plays a squatter; moving into Steve Martins empty house and starts telling the towns people that she's Steve Martins wife.
If you liked Overboard, which showed Kurt's amazing comedic genius, but also his wonderful acting ability that he's honed since appearing in Disney films back in the 60's, you've got to watch the classic, "Big Trouble in Little China!" Super fun!
You know you like Cassie’s channel too much when you’re still watching a new post at 3.20am 😂❤. Kurt Russell’s films Backdraft and The Christmas Chronicles are great films. Goldie Hawn’s films Private Benjamin and Deceived are great films too. Thanks for the great video as always Cassie 😊❤❤
Hi Cassie!! I love this film and your reaction to it. Three more summer films that I recommend watching are "The Great Outdoors" released in 1988 starring John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, "Summer Rental" released in 1985 also starring John Candy and "Mr. Mom" released in 1983 starring Michael Keaton and Terri Garr. All three of these movies are hilarious and you would love them.
This is one of my all-time favorite rom-coms. It was a wonderful surprise back in 1987 when I first saw it,because it did not get a big build up from the studios. I only watched it because I liked Kurt and Goldie. And it was a successful gamble for $5.50.
Problematic plot points disappear when both characters have charisma off the charts and had really good character arcs. So glad you liked this. Fyi, this is a rom com dudes often enjoy if you ever need one of those. PSA from a ridiculously overconscientous Oregonian - the water is so cold off the Oregon coast and we have such strong currents, pretty much any of the overboard events in this movie could easily result in death - please nobody ever attempt. But you should visit - the coast is stunning, just only wading unless you have a wet suit and never turn your back on the ocean. The scenery and sea food will not disappoint, though
For as long as I can remember, this has always been one of My Mother's all-time favorite movies; I shared this Reaction with Her and We Both really Enjoyed it...Thank You!!
Great reaction Cassie. This is a great 80s movie. For Kurt Russell, Big Trouble in Little China is the quintessential movie, though it may be a little bizarre for your tastes. It would be fun to see you react to it. The Thing might fit your scary but not too scary for Halloween. Miracle would be one to watch with your sister. For Goldie Hawn, Death Becomes Her for Halloween. Private Benjamin is an army comedy you would enjoy. And Wildcats has her as a football coach.
Omg yes Wildcats!!!!!! So many people on that movie too!!! And yes Big Trouble in Little China is bizarre but still one of my favorites. Love Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall in this one!
The trick to understanding big trouble in Little China is to realize that Kurt Russell's character is not the protagonist, he's just the guy the camera follows.
Kurt Russell can do it all. Comedy, drama, and some of the best action movies ever made. If I start adding it up, he's my favorite actor just in raw numbers.
I can't believe you haven't watched this movie! I knew as soon as it popped up that you'd love it. One of my favourite reactions, I've already watched it twice. I'm so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I am obsessed with this movie. It's one I will put on during a sad day. It's so ridiculous, sweet, funny, heartwarming...everything you want from a feel good movie. The scene with her in the barrel complaining is one of the best moments. "But baby....we like YOU" lmao. And knowing they're still together in real life makes it even more special. Kurt and Goldie are the best!
This movie is sooo sweet and makes me laugh, smile, cry and I just love it! Your reaction is great! I bawl every time when the kids chase the limo. "Mom's don't leave!" hits me hard.
When Little Joe gave mom the macaroni necklace he made for her, after she said mom's don't leave. Then yelling at the limo....you said mom's don't leave!
Kurt Russell was a child actor as well and starred in many Disney movies. Along with this movie, I also loved "Tombstone", and you also know him from "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" (if you haven't seen the GoG movies, you should), but I also liked him in "Backdraft" - a story about two brothers who are Chicago firefighters
More Kurt Russell movies - The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape From New York. All directed by John Carpenter. For another comedy with Kurt (and bonus Martin Short) - Captain Ron
"We had sex on our first date?!?!?!?!??!?!" "Oh yeah, right there in the parking lot of 7-11!" 🤣 "Best of times" with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams is a funny movie as well.
Used Cars. He's fantastic in it. Hilarious. Seems Like Old Times w/ Chevy Chase. She's a dingy attorney that hires all of her community service defendants. It's top notch comedy, just like this. All her movies are good. Private Benjamin was a huge hit for her. Hilarious. You'd love em.
Kurt Russell is in some of my favorite movies. I personal recommendations: Tango and Cash- him and Sylvester Stallone Escape From New York- Most iconic role Big Trouble in Little China- Him as a likable big talking hero Soldier- Sci-fi future action movie set in the same cinematic universe as Blade Runner Stargate- Sci-fi adventure with James Spader Miracle- True story of the 1980 US hockey team Captain Ron- Him and Martin Short in the Carribean Breakdown- Him trying to find his abducted wife Bakcdraft- Him as a fireman
Oh man, I'd forgotten Ray Combs was in this. These are my favorite kinds of movies. Those '80s-'90s low- to mid-budget, probably-aren't-gonna-set-the-world-on-fire affairs that just tell fun stories with appealing actors. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I always did! 13:32 _"Holy cow, she looks like Kate Hudson."_ There's a good reason for that. 😂
sadly it wasnt a massive success, it made $26million of a $22million budget, likely because of snobby reviews, but its played for years as a firm favourite of many and before on demand TV i would always watch it when it was on
It’s been a minute and you may not see this comment…but a wonderful Kurt Russel movie to watch that I didn’t see mentioned is Escape from New York. The dates at the beginning make it “dated,” but if you ignore those and just take it as a futuristic dystopian movie, it’s an amazing watch.
Kurt's first movie was It Happened At The Worlds Fair in 1963, where he plays a kid that Elvis pays to kick him in the shins so he can get the sympathy of the nurse. Sixteen years later Kurt played Elvis in Elvis The Movie and did such a good job we always refer to that film as Kurt The Movie.
Kurt Russell is always fun to watch. He's been a movie star as long as I can remember. My favorite Goldie Hawn movie is Foul Play with Chevy Chase. She's at her most adorable in that movie. Also starring Burgess Meredith (Mickey from Rocky) and Dudley Moore. I hope you'll react to it someday.
Cassie, I wish Carly had watched this romantic comedy with you. She’s gonna love it. I like how you extrapolated their lives based on the new information. Check out Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin and Foul Play. You have to watch The Abyss, Director’s cut/extended version. James Cameron directed.
Kurt Russell (March 17, 1951) and Goldie Hawn (November 21, 1945) have been a real life love couple (not married) since 1983. He started out as a child actor on television since he was 12, making his on screen debut in an Elvis Presley movie called "It Happened At the World's Fair" in which he got to kick Elvis in the shins twice. Later, as a teenager, he acted in many Disney movies. He worked both on the big screen as on television. In 1979, 2 years after Elvis Presley passed away, Russell even played Elvis in a made for TV movie called "Elvis". Other movies of his are The Thing, Tango&Cash (with Sylvester Stallone), Tombstone, Forest Gump (uncredited as the voice of Elvis Presley). Goldie Hawn started her career dancing and performing on stage before getting on the television show "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" in which she was one of the regulars. Hawn often broke out into high-pitched giggles in the middle of a joke, then delivered a polished performance a moment after. That is what she became famous for and what landed her her first roles in big screen movies. She often played a bubbly, "dumb", blonde in the early years. Hawn and Russell first met while filming The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1966, but obviously nothing happened yet between 15-year-old Russell and 21-year-old Hawn until much later. Hawn later developed into a big name, not just acting but also producing movies. She became a big box office hit with several of her movies like Private Benjamin, Overboard (with Kurt), Bird on a Wire (with Mel Gibson), Death Becomes Her (with Bruce Willis and Meryl Streep), The First Wives Club (with Bette Midler and Diane Keaton). Hawn was married twice. From her 2nd marriage she had 2 children, son Oliver (born September 7, 1976) and daughter Kate (born April 19, 1979), both actors as adults as well. Russell was married once from which marriage he has a son, Boston, (born February 16, 1980). Hawn and Russell became an item after filming Swing Shift in 1983 and together have a son Wyatt Russell (born July 10, 1986). Though they never married, they have been together since 1983 and with all their offspring, form the perfect, blended, family.
"...most of us go through life with blinders on, madam. Knowing only that one little station to which we were born. But now you, madam, on the other hand, had the... rare privilege of escaping your bonds for just a spell. To see life from an entirely new perspective. How you choose to use that information, madam... is entirely up to you." is still one of my favourite speeches in cinema.
I saw an interview with Goldie where she said the sweetest thing about Kurt. She talked about how she and Kurt were lying in bed when Overboard happened to come on TV, so they decided to watch it (even though they never watch their own movies). In the interview Goldie said about the experience of watching the movie with Kurt (which was decades after they had filmed it): "You know how sometimes you forget why you fell in love, I remembered everything and why I fell in love with him."

Congrats to your mom and dad - may they be blessed with many years!
Kurt Russell really has so much variety in his movies that everyone can have a favorite.
You definitely picked the good one!!!!
Escape from New York, Captain Ron and the World's Greatest Athlete. I saw the World's Greatest Athlete at the theater. Yes I'm old?
I don't think our girl here would be able to handle The Thing.
Kurt Russel is pretty much a can’t miss actor. He’s been in Hollywood since he was a kid and has had stability throughout his entire career. He never won an Oscar but he’s like Harrison Ford on screen with his charisma. I think it’s pretty amazing he and Goldie have been together the entire time.
CASSIE would love to watch Kurt Russell in EXECUTIVE DECISION (1996 action film), SOLDIER (1998 Sci-Fi film), and VANILLA SKY (2002 mind-blowing film opposite Tom Cruise) 😄
that is amazing actually
He kicked Elvis! ruclips.net/video/W5axEDGZ8GY/видео.html
I love how he can become whatever character he's playing. It's hard to believe that the same person played this character, Snake Plissken, Todd (Solder) and Mac (The Thing).
The original Disney kid.
Never seen someone get so emotional watching Overboard.
But, that’s why I love you and your channel.
It reminded me of why I think we all fell in love with the channel in the first place!
"The Land Before Time would destroy her!!!"
- My daughter
My family and I have always gotten emotional watching this movie since childhood.
I always cry when the boys are pounding on the car calling for their mom and little Joey yelling “You said moms don’t leave!!”
'She can NEVER redeam herself'
'She TOTALLY redeamed herself!'
LOL
I just love this movie. Trivia note: Kurt Russell's father played the sheriff in the miniature golf course opening scene (on stage next to Kurt).
movies like Overboard were a regular thing for us 80's kids. every year that passes reaffirms the 1980's was a special time.

Since you mentioned not knowing "Pee Wee Herman"....the actor who created that character passed away today. Paul Reubens, whose alter ego Pee-wee Herman became a movie and television sensation in the 1980s, has died at 70. Today - Monday, July 31, 2023. With his signature bow tie, drainpipe pants, falsetto voice, and flattop hairdo, Pee-wee, as embodied by Mr. Reubens, became enshrined in the popular imagination as a symbol of childlike whimsy. He later had a very controversial end to his career which I will just not mention out of politeness.
The fact that they were married and stayed together makes this romantic comedy even more special. I'm 62 and live alone and wish i would have found that one love that lasted forever.
Lol, Captin Ron with Kurt Russell is funny
Overboard is definitely one of my comfort movies. If it’s on TV or shows up on one of the streaming platforms, I’ll watch it.
Same!!
Yes definitely a movie I could watch over and over again...
they acted together in the movie Swing Shift, and fell in ❤...that movie is one you would like!
That's so cute that you know Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn as Kate Hudson's parents while I know her as their daughter. It's like watching movies with my daughters hearing you talk about what you're seeing. Tell your parents thanks and congratulations, they must've done something right :-)
I honestly think this is one of Goldie's best roles. To be able to make someone hate you as much as she did in the start and to have you genuinely care about her by the end. It's not as easy to do as some people may think. remind me of Jessica Rothe in Happy Death Day (i'm really surprised she didn't become a huge star).
She’s like a discount Blake Lively.
The First Wives Club is so good. That came out in 1996. Which was 9 years after this movie came out. She doesn’t do a lot of movies now. She really doesn’t need to anymore. 🤷🏾♀️
Another great one is private Benjamin.
Another vote for “Backdraft.” Kurt Russell’s acting was on fire in that one!
Also, you really need to watch “A Perfect World” with Kevin Costner, Clint Eastwood, and Laura Dern.
Backdraft is a MUST watch
I see what you did there!
Backdraft is fantastic. I’ve checked for reactions more than once and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good one.
Ba dum tss.
And the gladiator of cause
Captain Ron is top tier Kurt. You’d love it.
I believe everyone knew this would be a movie you would love. I also believe you will be getting a lot of requests for Pee Wee Herman's first movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" (1985). It's a must watch family adventure comedy.
As for Kurt Russel - There will be a lot of movie suggestions. I'd love for you to see "Used Cars" (1980) - it's a raunchy rated R comedy with a love story thrown in.
Goldie Hawn recommendation - "Privat Benjamin" (1980). a rated R war comedy.
Goldie: Foul Play & Seems Like Old Times
I knew you’d like this one. My favorite part was when he says what can I possibly give you that you don’t have and she says a little girl! That was perfect!
"Breakdown" is a Kurt Russell movie that always seems to fly under the radar, but is one of my favorites of his. It is a truly sweaty palms movie
Cassie, I really appreciate you taking the time away from your family to show us your wholesome beautiful heart. Your parents must be so proud of the gems and precious heart you and your sister have. I have fond memories of my daughter sharing movie experiences with you and your sister. Please let your husband and kids know how grateful I and, I believe all of us here are, that the sacrifice time with you to let us share in the joy they have with you everyday.
Private Benjamin is a fantastic Goldie Hawn film. Wildcats is another personal favourite. Big trouble in little China, Soldier, and Escape from New York are great Kurt Russell films. For Halloween I would absolutely suggest The Thing for Kurt Russell and Death becomes her for Goldie Hawn, too.
100% with Death Becomes Her! As for The Thing, do we REALLY want to break Cassie? 😅
@@Daveyboy100880 Cass would LOVE Death Becomes Her
Death Becomes Her is a must for Goldie. And Private Benjamin and Escape from New York for Kurt.
Big Trouble in Little China and Captain Ron as going in one direction, then Soldier and Stargate for those character parallels.
Wildcats was pretty funny
Did you recognize the Portuguese man who rescued "Annie" from the water was Hector Elizondo from The Princess Diaries among many others?
Her destruction of the teacher without ever cursing was beautiful.
This came out in 1987, so Goldie had recently given birth to their only child, actor Wyatt Russell in 1986. Wyatt was in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
This is a wonderful reaction, but first things first - YOU MUST WATCH PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE!! 😂😂😂 So surprised to see you ask who Pee-Wee Herman is. You absolutely HAVE to watch it. He, and the movie, are amazing. ❤❤❤
Especially since she has small kids. How did she escape it??
Wow, you got real emotional on this one. In the hands of a lesser director and other actors, this could have been awful. But Hawn and Russell have such great chemistry onscreen, and Garry Marshall shows how great he is as a director, which hit the big time with Pretty Woman. Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch this again, it's been a while. Thanks for sharing!
"In the hands of a lesser director and other actors, this could have been awful." Then let's never talk about the remake. *cough*
@@gwivongalois6169 I realised after posting that there was indeed a remake. The fact I never heard about it was telling, and your comment confirms it!
Goldie Hawn was my dad's favourite actress, and this was his favourite movie. I appreciate you taking the time to watch it, Cassie.
❤ Thank you for doing this one. ❤ This was one of my late wife's favorite movies so even though it's a fun comedy I watch with a lump in my throat. I don't even know how many times we watched this one together. BTW it was Patrick Swayze who looked like Kurt Russell. Kurt was a child star and had over 15 years worth of experience before Patrick did his first movie. You could actually do a whole poll on just Kurt Russell movies. He may be retired now, but from working with Elvis, to playing Elvis, and making a successful leap from child actor to movie star, he's had a heck of a career. One last thing, if you haven't looked up Pee Wee Herman, you need to check him out. LOL
I highly recommend It Happened One Night(1934). It’s one of the greatest, most influential RomComs of all time.
I’ve mentioned it several times, but it hasn’t happened yet. It’s so well done. It Happened One Night was redone for radio. I think it was the Lux radio Theater or something like that. All the original stars recreated their roles. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s worth your time to look it up.
I've never met a single person who doesn't love this movie. All time classic!
When I first watched this, I thought Goldie was playing the ultimate snob looking down on the entire world and I hated her character.
Then they showed him doing everything underhanded to bring her home and treat her like a slave and I thought less of Curt's character.
I thought the kids belonged in a juvenile home for criminal minors.
But my wife saw something in it and so we kept watching it.
Boy did that movie redeem itself by the time he realized he loved her but she would not believe they did not belong together. I was really liking the movie by then.
And then she said, "Hello, Grant!" and the fecal matter hit the air oscillating device.
Finally, it was them diving into the sea to be together and I realized this was the ideal romcom.
I absolutely love this movie!
Overboard, Captain Ron, Escape From New York, Escape From L.A., Big Trouble In Little China, The Thing, and Tango and Cash have always been my favorite Kurt Russell movies. And most of the rest of them also.
I think she'd be under the blanket a few times during BTiLC but there's zero chance she makes it through the thing. She'd get a good ten minutes in or so but that scene with the dogs in the cage is where I think she "nopes" right out of there 😂
Captain Ron is such an underrated gem.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER WATCH CAPTAIN RON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I think she’d totally love tango and cash. Having Rocky in another movie should sell it for her
And how about The Christmas Chronicles where Kurt plays Santa... the sequel has Goldie as Mrs Claus.
The wife and I love this movie. I wish you could have watched this one with your sister. Looking forward to watching your reaction.
"Who is Pee-Wee Herman?"
I was dying laughin!
Now you gotta watch Pee-Wee's Big Adventure!
So glad you watched this and your reaction is just the sweetest and genuine as always.
Thank you!
Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!
She is going to LOVE Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
I'm a rebel, Dottie! 😂
I'm honestly surprised yall asked for this before Big Adventure!
I was looking for this comment and prepared to make it myself if no one else did! I think you could classify Pee Wee's Big Adventure as a summer movie. One of my favorites of all time and so few reactors watch it.
This is one of my mom’s faves. Always makes me think of her.
Absolutely, they just dont make em like that anymore. Such a great movie.
I am so glad you loved this one! It’s my favorite Kurt Russell movie!
The Thing is his best movie^^ 😍
Have you only seen 1 Kurt Russel movie?
What about Captain Ron?
I’m in tears. This reminds me of my mom, because this was her favorite movie. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us.
So many great ones with kurt. Executive decision, soilder, captain Ron, breakdown, Stargate, backdraft, miracle, so many
All MUST sees
Captain Ron is criminally underrated.
Tango and Cash!
Escape from LA is one of my favorites
She has to watch all lol 😆
Kurt Russell is the last living child actor from the Elvis days that is still performing today!! Thanks Quinton for all the ops.😀
Kurt is an amazing actor. He started acting at 12, and by the late 60's entered a 10 year contract with Disney, and has been in so many classic films; The Thing, Tango & Cash, Big Trouble In Little China, Soldier, Backdraft, Stargate, & Swing Shift with Goldie (this film was before Overboard), and so many others. Goldie has a ton of great films, Bird on a Wire, Pvt. Benjamin, and Death Becomes Her, etc. I recommend all of them :)
First time I saw Kurt in a movie was a Disney movie called The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes in 67, I was 19. Got to see it on Disney + a year ago
Private Benjamin was hilarious!
No better Elvis than Kurt!
I adored all his Dexter Riley movies. 🥰🥰🥰
he was the "jungle boy" in the Gilligan's Island episode.
If you wanna see another movie with Kurt Russel on a boat, check out Captain Ron from 1992.
Back with the eye patch in Capt Ron.
Yes, Cassie, there are rich, and poor snobs exactly like that. Absolutely LOVE your reactions. Hope your weekend was perfect. 😉👌
When I saw that you were watching 'Overboard' I laughed because I couldn't believe you hadn't already seen it but I also KNEW you would absolutely LOVE IT!... and sure enough you did. And yes... you can re-watch this movie over-and-over-and-over again... everybody's seen this movie like 16x. It's one of those movies where if you catch it on tv you stop what you're doing and watch the rest of the movie.
I’m just glad she didn’t go with the remake. I’m so sick of remakes.
I'm an 87 baby and even at the time when it came across my tv screen, thanks to parents with great taste in films, every moment of it was enjoyed. Mind you, it certainly hits differently at 35yrs old than as a child, but Kurt Russell was almost always gold.
32:00. CASSIE:. "Whacking The Donkey??!! 😆😆😆😜
Life imitates art as as Kurt and Goldie are together celebrating their 40th. Anniversary together! As with previous comments and totally agree, every movie Kurt is in is great! He has tremendous intensity and at the same time, shows the human, funny, compassionate and practical side of his characters he portrays. Cassie, Kurt and Goldie are starring together in "The Christmas Chronicles " Part 1 and 2. A must see for you and your family! you will not be disappointed!!😉
Kurt Russell is a great actor. Goldie Hawn is not that great of an actress
@@josephcasanova1975 Goldie Hawn is an academy award and golden globe winning actress. Does she do silly comedies? Sure, but she's very good at them.
Yeah agree.
Kurt seems like a all around genuine, down to earth great guy.
And it shows in the movies
@@robertcampbell8070 yess Goldie is funny as hell 😊
Love them!!! 🤶
I recommend "Bird on a Wire" (1990) with Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson.
I'll never forget one view of Goldie in this movie. " Oo La Lah. Oo La Lah. "
Good movie Goldie Hawn has done so many of them.
Yes!! One of my favorites that not a lot of people know about
I concur
I have no idea why this movie isn't more well-known. Honestly my favorite Mel Gibson movie. The "Mister Wiggly" line never fails to crack me up.
The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China both directed by John Carpenter are my two favorite Kurt Russell movies.
Man overboard
Woman overboard, she's wearing an evening dress sir
Another man overboard
Man overboard is kissing woman overboard
The guy with arrows is being pulled in at Port
It's a hell of a day at sea sir
Love that scene
Awe “a little girl” and he did!!! Her name is Kate Hudson!
"Overboard" is a genuinely perfect film. Great screenplay, great direction and an amazing cast. I knew you would love it.
Just ordered Overboard on bluray after seeing your reaction. Such a great film. I need this in my life. Thanks Cassie.
I smiled at your reaction to Goldie Hawn at the start, knowing how it all turns out in the end 🙂
This was one of those movies in the "old" days of pre-streaming TV and it would just be on basically every weekend. This and Ghost I've probably seen the most, just because I would see it was on and stop to watch it, no matter where it was in the story. I'm so glad you liked it, although I knew you would! Wish your sis was there to watch it too 💚💚
On screen chemistry is amazing on this. No wonder They are still together and that warms my heart.
Good reaction Cass. Pity Carly was MIA she would've loved this one. 😍😍
The level of emotional investment both you and your sister bring to each movie make you the perfect friends to re-watch old favorites with.
I agree totally, they are right up my ally and i wish there were people out there that are not affraid to show their true self in this way.
Right? Totally agree. Makes me feel less dorky about being so emotionally invested in older movies where I feel the plot is well-written/acted, at least compared to today's overly recycled plots. 😂
Could not have said that any better. I am a 55 year old truck driver, and my sister, brother and myself like the same movies as Cassie and Carli (sp), have the same type of running commentary while watching any of them, and seems like the same kind of general sense of humor as well.
Cassie, if the rest of your family is at all like you and your sis....rent a big boat, have a bunch of your fans/friends buy in on an afternoon party trip, and let's all watch some funny movies on a big screen on board!!! 🤣
Her chauffeur/butler is played by veteran Hollywood actor Roddy McDowell. He was a child actor. "How Green Was My Valley" was a big movie that you should watch. Other notable films were "Lassie Come Home," and "My Friend Flicka." As an older actor, he played a vampire slayer in "Fright Night," and starred in many TV dramas and comedies. He occasionally guest starred on the Carol Burnett Show.
Not to mention the lead in all the Planet of the Apes films.
Loved all of those but to me he will always be Cornelius in Planet of the Apes😊
i have to add my assent to him being 'mr planet of the apes'. such a distinctive voice every time i hear it i think of Cornelius.
In an interview, Kurt was asked how he had managed to stay married for 40 years (I think it was one of those Google autocomplete interviews). His answer was “Marry Goldie Hawn. If you can manage that, then you’ve got a pretty good chance”
I loved that you said “comfort movie”, my personal comfort movie is actually also a Goldie Hawn movie called “House Sitter”. I highly recommend that one if you haven’t seen it. Watching it just makes me happy. BTW, it’s lovely to see a young woman who is so compassionate and sweet.
The best line in this movie is... "I think we can take Olaf." He said it with such confidence. I remember laughing so hard at that line when this movie first came out.
one of the best lines in the movie. Often repeated among myself and my friends.
@@mikeandpaulafisk7226 I live to quote movie lines, and that's too funny you guys do that.
That and "a falsetto child?" are my favourites. This really is one of those rare movies where the script and the actors come together perfectly.
CAPTAIN RON - Kurt Russell, Martin short
Growing up we would watch this movie all the time. Ahhh the 80s. ❤
Glad You Enjoyed This. You Can See Why Goldie & Kurt are Together In Real Life, They Have Amazing Chemistry Together This Film Has a lot Of Laughs & A Great Ending. Overboard is a Great Family Film
Oh! You'll also want to watch HouseSitter with Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin. It's a romcom from 1992. Basically Goldie Hawn plays a squatter; moving into Steve Martins empty house and starts telling the towns people that she's Steve Martins wife.
If you liked Overboard, which showed Kurt's amazing comedic genius, but also his wonderful acting ability that he's honed since appearing in Disney films back in the 60's, you've got to watch the classic, "Big Trouble in Little China!" Super fun!
One of the funniest movies ever. I always try to use "if I'm not back in [x minutes] call the president" in any conversation I can.
Yes!
You know you like Cassie’s channel too much when you’re still watching a new post at 3.20am 😂❤.
Kurt Russell’s films Backdraft and The Christmas Chronicles are great films.
Goldie Hawn’s films Private Benjamin and Deceived are great films too.
Thanks for the great video as always Cassie 😊❤❤
Yes I love all those and also Bird On A Wire with Mel Gibson from 1990.
Hi Cassie!! I love this film and your reaction to it. Three more summer films that I recommend watching are "The Great Outdoors" released in 1988 starring John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, "Summer Rental" released in 1985 also starring John Candy and "Mr. Mom" released in 1983 starring Michael Keaton and Terri Garr. All three of these movies are hilarious and you would love them.
This is one of my all-time favorite rom-coms. It was a wonderful surprise back in 1987 when I first saw it,because it did not get a big build up from the studios. I only watched it because I liked Kurt and Goldie. And it was a successful gamble for $5.50.
Problematic plot points disappear when both characters have charisma off the charts and had really good character arcs. So glad you liked this. Fyi, this is a rom com dudes often enjoy if you ever need one of those.
PSA from a ridiculously overconscientous Oregonian - the water is so cold off the Oregon coast and we have such strong currents, pretty much any of the overboard events in this movie could easily result in death - please nobody ever attempt. But you should visit - the coast is stunning, just only wading unless you have a wet suit and never turn your back on the ocean. The scenery and sea food will not disappoint, though
this is a certified popcorn in bed banger 🍿
For as long as I can remember, this has always been one of My Mother's all-time favorite movies; I shared this Reaction with Her and We Both really Enjoyed it...Thank You!!
Great reaction Cassie. This is a great 80s movie.
For Kurt Russell, Big Trouble in Little China is the quintessential movie, though it may be a little bizarre for your tastes. It would be fun to see you react to it. The Thing might fit your scary but not too scary for Halloween. Miracle would be one to watch with your sister.
For Goldie Hawn, Death Becomes Her for Halloween. Private Benjamin is an army comedy you would enjoy. And Wildcats has her as a football coach.
Omg yes Wildcats!!!!!! So many people on that movie too!!! And yes Big Trouble in Little China is bizarre but still one of my favorites. Love Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall in this one!
For Goldie, Protocol
The Thing would permanently traumatize Cassie... Thumbs up for Big Trouble, though.
@@jeffreysmith236 definitely
The trick to understanding big trouble in Little China is to realize that Kurt Russell's character is not the protagonist, he's just the guy the camera follows.
The level of Cassie's distress at the condition and subsequent cleaning of the abode was... perfection.
I still love Overboard with Kurt and Goldie. Still cry when the boys chase the limo.
You have to watch Big Trouble in Little China! One of my favorite movies with Kurt Russel. So funny!
Kurt Russell can do it all. Comedy, drama, and some of the best action movies ever made. If I start adding it up, he's my favorite actor just in raw numbers.
I can't believe you haven't watched this movie! I knew as soon as it popped up that you'd love it. One of my favourite reactions, I've already watched it twice. I'm so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I am obsessed with this movie. It's one I will put on during a sad day. It's so ridiculous, sweet, funny, heartwarming...everything you want from a feel good movie. The scene with her in the barrel complaining is one of the best moments. "But baby....we like YOU" lmao. And knowing they're still together in real life makes it even more special. Kurt and Goldie are the best!
This movie is sooo sweet and makes me laugh, smile, cry and I just love it! Your reaction is great! I bawl every time when the kids chase the limo. "Mom's don't leave!" hits me hard.
When Little Joe gave mom the macaroni necklace he made for her, after she said mom's don't leave. Then yelling at the limo....you said mom's don't leave!
Kurt Russell was a child actor as well and starred in many Disney movies. Along with this movie, I also loved "Tombstone", and you also know him from "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" (if you haven't seen the GoG movies, you should), but I also liked him in "Backdraft" - a story about two brothers who are Chicago firefighters
More Kurt Russell movies - The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape From New York. All directed by John Carpenter.
For another comedy with Kurt (and bonus Martin Short) - Captain Ron
"We had sex on our first date?!?!?!?!??!?!"
"Oh yeah, right there in the parking lot of 7-11!"
🤣
"Best of times" with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams is a funny movie as well.
Used Cars. He's fantastic in it. Hilarious.
Seems Like Old Times w/ Chevy Chase. She's a dingy attorney that hires all of her community service defendants. It's top notch comedy, just like this. All her movies are good.
Private Benjamin was a huge hit for her. Hilarious. You'd love em.
"She was born to spend, he was born to offend, there's only one way they could fall in love...by accident."
Kurt Russell is in some of my favorite movies. I personal recommendations:
Tango and Cash- him and Sylvester Stallone
Escape From New York- Most iconic role
Big Trouble in Little China- Him as a likable big talking hero
Soldier- Sci-fi future action movie set in the same cinematic universe as Blade Runner
Stargate- Sci-fi adventure with James Spader
Miracle- True story of the 1980 US hockey team
Captain Ron- Him and Martin Short in the Carribean
Breakdown- Him trying to find his abducted wife
Bakcdraft- Him as a fireman
captain ron is so good!!! I wish more would react to it, also backdraft is pretty amazing, I used to love the Universal Studios Backdraft exhibit
Captain Ron was so freaking hood. That’s with Martin Short, right?
Oh my God I forgot about Soldier... My Favorite..
The Thing
Dont forget about Used Cars
My family and I used so many quotes from this movie in our everyday life, and still do today. A real classic.
ba ba ba ba ba ba
I use the quote "Its a hell of a day at sea " all the time
I just…….ate a bug
Anytime I meet a twin, I call them Twin.
Oh man, I'd forgotten Ray Combs was in this.
These are my favorite kinds of movies. Those '80s-'90s low- to mid-budget, probably-aren't-gonna-set-the-world-on-fire affairs that just tell fun stories with appealing actors. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I always did!
13:32 _"Holy cow, she looks like Kate Hudson."_ There's a good reason for that. 😂
Back when movies were entertainment instead of "franchises" or social engineering projects.
sadly it wasnt a massive success, it made $26million of a $22million budget, likely because of snobby reviews, but its played for years as a firm favourite of many and before on demand TV i would always watch it when it was on
It’s been a minute and you may not see this comment…but a wonderful Kurt Russel movie to watch that I didn’t see mentioned is Escape from New York. The dates at the beginning make it “dated,” but if you ignore those and just take it as a futuristic dystopian movie, it’s an amazing watch.
I've been watching overboard for 30 years and still uncontrollably cry when the kids don't want her to leave 😢
Kurt's first movie was It Happened At The Worlds Fair in 1963, where he plays a kid that Elvis pays to kick him in the shins so he can get the sympathy of the nurse. Sixteen years later Kurt played Elvis in Elvis The Movie and did such a good job we always refer to that film as Kurt The Movie.
Kurt Russell is always fun to watch. He's been a movie star as long as I can remember. My favorite Goldie Hawn movie is Foul Play with Chevy Chase. She's at her most adorable in that movie. Also starring Burgess Meredith (Mickey from Rocky) and Dudley Moore. I hope you'll react to it someday.
I love Dudley Moore’s “bachelor pad” in that movie. 😂 🛏️
Cassie,
I wish Carly had watched this romantic comedy with you. She’s gonna love it.
I like how you extrapolated their lives based on the new information.
Check out Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin and Foul Play. You have to watch The Abyss, Director’s cut/extended version. James Cameron directed.
Kurt Russell (March 17, 1951) and Goldie Hawn (November 21, 1945) have been a real life love couple (not married) since 1983.
He started out as a child actor on television since he was 12, making his on screen debut in an Elvis Presley movie called "It Happened At the World's Fair" in which he got to kick Elvis in the shins twice. Later, as a teenager, he acted in many Disney movies. He worked both on the big screen as on television.
In 1979, 2 years after Elvis Presley passed away, Russell even played Elvis in a made for TV movie called "Elvis". Other movies of his are The Thing, Tango&Cash (with Sylvester Stallone), Tombstone, Forest Gump (uncredited as the voice of Elvis Presley).
Goldie Hawn started her career dancing and performing on stage before getting on the television show "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" in which she was one of the regulars. Hawn often broke out into high-pitched giggles in the middle of a joke, then delivered a polished performance a moment after. That is what she became famous for and what landed her her first roles in big screen movies. She often played a bubbly, "dumb", blonde in the early years. Hawn and Russell first met while filming The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1966, but obviously nothing happened yet between 15-year-old Russell and 21-year-old Hawn until much later.
Hawn later developed into a big name, not just acting but also producing movies. She became a big box office hit with several of her movies like Private Benjamin, Overboard (with Kurt), Bird on a Wire (with Mel Gibson), Death Becomes Her (with Bruce Willis and Meryl Streep), The First Wives Club (with Bette Midler and Diane Keaton).
Hawn was married twice. From her 2nd marriage she had 2 children, son Oliver (born September 7, 1976) and daughter Kate (born April 19, 1979), both actors as adults as well. Russell was married once from which marriage he has a son, Boston, (born February 16, 1980). Hawn and Russell became an item after filming Swing Shift in 1983 and together have a son Wyatt Russell (born July 10, 1986). Though they never married, they have been together since 1983 and with all their offspring, form the perfect, blended, family.
"...most of us go through life with blinders on, madam. Knowing only that one little station to which we were born. But now you, madam, on the other hand, had the... rare privilege of escaping your bonds for just a spell. To see life from an entirely new perspective. How you choose to use that information, madam... is entirely up to you." is still one of my favourite speeches in cinema.
Watch the whole movie, to get entire feel .
Roddy McDonald the butler, played on the planet of the apes, among other things
