It's still one of my favorite films. I was never a big fan of his music, but I loved how he never gave up and always flipped the middle finger to the world.
Ive met Jerry so many times and His band and Kenny lovelace is a great guy . I have great memories . One time just me and jerry walking to his car in london . We talked about the show and Sun Records . Ive also met Linda Gail lewis and she even played my piano before she came onto the stage . Love Jerry and his band and Linda . All were very kind and gracious . I miss Jerry because i know there will never be another . Feels like he is still here because his legacy and music is still here . R.I.P Jerry i bet Elvis . Carl and Johnny etc are all waiting for you
I love Jerry's music eversince i was 5 years Old. My mum asked me to play a record. It was Jerry. I immediately was hooked. My mum then took my hands and we danced. I am NOW 63and still love his music.
Dennis Quaid is the reason I love Jerry Lee Lewis. I use to watch this movie all the time when I was a kid and then my dad introduced me to the real Jerry Lee Lewis music and I've been a fan ever since. Now that I'm 37 years old I still watch this movie whenever it comes on it's a great movie.
I was at the invite-only world premiere for Great Balls of Fire at Bloor Cinemas in Toronto and I'm standin' in the lobby just before the movie having a smoke. A big black guy next to me leans over and asks for a light - he had some old stogie cigar. He was wearing a big fedora and feather boa I recall. Didn't think much of it at the time. I gave the guy a light...finished my cig and went back to my seat while the radio announcer (Dusty Shannon from Q-107) was still announcing the celebrities in the audience. She introduces Booker T. and I turn around and Booker T. stands up - it's the guy who's smoke I lit in the lobby just minutes earlier. I remember Ronnie Hawkins was sittin' in the row directly behind us that night too. Quite a few celebs in the crowd that evening. It was a memorable night.
Jerry Lee Lewis didn't go to hell playing the piano. He gave his Life back to Jesus Christ 2 years ago. Today he's in Paradise with him for Eternity.✝️ John 3:16

I LOVE JLL to the max, and also am big fan of Dennis Quaid who has done a fab job in this movie. Perhaps his finest accomplishment so far in his acting career...and I've seen all his movies.
L'acteur Dennis Quaid a ressuscité la légende "Jerry Lee Lewis" grâce à son interprétation incroyable. Ce gars est excellent il peut tout jouer.♡ Merci pour le post. Th-up!
Jerry Lee has given his heart to the Lord and just recorded a Christian CD with Jimmy Swaggart. He is paralyzed on one side and looks like he is about to fade out at any moment.
@@cruisingcory5414 yep! Sad, but part of life. Glad to hear he turned to the Lord Jesus. I remember the movie it portrayed Jimmy trying to get Jerry to turn but back then Jerry wanted nothing of it. Glad he's rethought that
Biopics and especially music biopics are my favourite genre. This is one of my favourite movies of that genre. Dennis was fantastic! And Winona Ryder was hilarious. Some of her facial expressions are priceless. My ex husband toured with Jerry Lee in the 80s. Omg. What a crazy trip!
Dennis Quaid put in 12 hours a day piano practice for (2 years ?). That is method acting. I though in the film the piano playing was fudged, but it was the real deal.
Dennis Quaid might be the single most underrated actor in modern times I mean back in the '80s and 90s we know he was great people now sleep on his talent I love them in enemy mine where he raised Louis gossett Jr's baby lol.
@@owlperchedsilo3745 I'm a big Jerry Lee fan, & have seen him in concert. But the utter idiocy of saying Elvis had nothing to do w/ opening the door for others like Jerry Lee is like saying George Washington, James Madison, & Thomas Jefferson have nothing to do with the freedoms that Americans have inherited today. Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood, & many more artists pay homage to Elvis to this day. Wise up.
Weather you liked him or not at least he was honest maybe brutally honest but so many other performers got away with more than he has look at micheal Jackson
That’s OK I will leave it with Michael Jackson so don’t try to use that is my thing to say R. Kelly right now says a lot when the first family got paid yet they took the money and ran and then pursue any longer will the damage is done animals cases if your child is Melissa guess what you’re not gonna take the fucking money and run that’s the thing I threw me off because any real mother was hurt like that do you wanna see a person go to jail or get your money does not give you justice because he’s finally stopped him the money that’s when they sit there and he was Tim anybody can say anything that does that make a note and I think a lot more people came out and said otherwise to Again anybody say anything yes believe what you wanna believe they’re in through our rumors like what you believe to say I think Michael Jackson dead or some like that I said something lied when he got older he admitted he lied do your research before u open your mouth. And I’m sorry but Mary your 14-year-old cousin is a lot worse because That is supposed to be related to you it to you if that’s true though
@@tammiepage6489 jerry Lee never went to jail or arrested for being with his cousin removed where as Michael Jackson was accused of molestation, r Kelly was a pedophile put in jail there is a difference .just like Elvis presley never being accused of sexual misconduct eventhough he had to be with every woman when he had Priscilla ( who was a teenaged girl ) .
Jordan the Lion just did a vlog at Jerry Lee's sister's home, think that's why this was in my feed. Glad it was, I frickin love this movie, I don't understand why it wasn't as big as it should have been. Dennis was amazing, and I loved Wynana as Myra. It is a great movie.
Jerry Lee Lewis was everything that missing in rock 'n roll today. He was an outlaw, he was insane, and he was an incredible musician and performer. Before in-ear monitors and production. And Dennis Quaid did an awesome bob of portraying him.
Great movie, and Jerry Lee is a badass. Its funny ive seen two interviews where in one of them he was raving all about it!, even said Dennis Quaid was born for the part. The other was an interview from over in England and he said it was garbage and that he recorded the soundtrack so atleast something good would come out of it!🤣
I lean more toward the latter. That movie could have been so much better than it was. A lot of it seemed almost cartoonish and Quaid's fake accent or speech pattern or something just wasn't right.
GOD I love it at 2:22 I can’t at all understand what ol’ Jerry Lee is even saying but he’s definitely talkin serious SH** All I hear is “how’d joo Feel bout Yo ASS bleh Muhhh buklejsyehxuwchhoo?”
Someone else suggested "How do you feel about your ass being mud if this movie ain't a hit?" and I think they're right.. Jerry's borderline unintelligible sometimes though, so who knows!
He was really playing, but I don't think the sound you hear in the movie is his playing. It was Jerry Lee's voice (he re-recorded the songs) and I am pretty sure that they used his piano playing also. I would be surprised if they didn't. Which one would you or anyone else rather hear?
This move is CRIMINALLY underrated. Fantastic flick and a legendary performance by Quaid who gave it everything he got. 🔥
It's still one of my favorite films. I was never a big fan of his music, but I loved how he never gave up and always flipped the middle finger to the world.
Where can I find this movie?

I absolutely love this movie, and Dennis Quaid is definately the best actor profiling this living legend.
Absolutely! This movie changed my life!
Dennis Quaid put his "whole heart" into that movie...he even resembles Jerry Lee Lewis with his looks for the film.
🎶RIP JERRY LEE LEWIS 🎶
Pedophile, no legend, just a sicko that can play.
The only time my mom ever turned off the TV on us was one time when Jerry Lee Lewis was dancing at the piano. 😂 He was SCANDALOUS! ❤️
No one will ever play the piano like Jerry he was the very Greatest. RIP Jerry
His singing was just as good, especially his country stuff.
@@da324 I absolutely agree
So you like that he was a pedophile and support that!

Dennis Quaid's performance was EPIC!
Jerry Lee plays piano better with his boot heel than most play with their hands. It's pretty amazing to watch.
That's because he kicked tail!
Truth!
I was in this film! We had so much fun dancing the rebel room scene
What a performance! Unbelievable commitment from Dennis Quaid.
I love Jerry's music eversince i was 5 years Old. My mum asked me to play a record. It was Jerry. I immediately was hooked. My mum then took my hands and we danced. I am NOW 63and still love his music.
His music changed my life forever
Pedophiles usually do that

Mine is “Aaangland can kiss my ass”

Yeah, there'll never be another incestuous pedophile like him again...hopefully
The greatest soundtrack of ALL time!

It's o e of my favorites!
I saw Quaid and his band play at the Wiskey a go go he was awesome
It looks as though Jerry Lee Lewis wasn't given as much recognition as he deserved. It's unfortunate.
This was a great move and nobody could have done it better than Dennis. Jerry Lee however was a one of a kind force of nature . God Speed Jerry lee .
This is pure gold
RIP Jerry Lee aka the killer...the world lost a great rock n roller when u passed...keep playing in the sky.🎹🎹🎹
This is one great movie!!! Dennis /Quaid was incredible in his portrayal of Jerry Lee!!
Still got this movie. Good movie worth a watch.
I play piano but I cannot play with my feet! This man was amazing!
Dennis Quaid put in 12 hours a day piano practice for (2 years ?). That is method acting. I though in the film the piano playing was fudged, but it was the real deal.
I think the narrator said he practiced for two years, Dennis added for the last 6 months, it was 12 hours a day.
Rest in peace Jerry Lee.
I'm not sure how much peace awaits an incestuous pedophile in the afterlife...
@@Thilindel Lucky for him there is no afterlife.
He was a vile pedophile and does not deserve any accolades.
@@EXECUTEKAMMELFACEHARISS He deserves it as a great artist and musician.
I don't seek to put Mr Lewis on a pedestal, nor do I seek to damn him. As human beings we all fall short in countless ways.

He is the KING of rock n roll in my opinion. Always was, always will be. I ❤ Jerry Lee.

Without Elvis kicking the door wide open there would be no Jerry Lee. So Elvis is still the real King of Rock And Roll.
