Look elephant girl , god , I love this movie , one of my very favorites ; to many reasons why I love this movie but Nicholson would be the 1st reason why I love it….. love this movie.
@@ianboard544 He definitely should have received a Best Supporting Actor nomination and win! He was fantastic and a perfect foil for Nicholson's neurotic character (I would even add Cuba Gooding, Jr. for a BSA nod as well because he was just hilarious lol).
No other actor in the known world could have ever pulled off the charactor of Melvin Udall better than Jack! I still love this movie, cracks me up! Best one-liners ever written!
Totally agree, my fav movie of all time and ive watched it too many times to count, part was written for Jack, love him in movies also Somethings Gotta Give
I think one of the coauthors or producers is the "Doctor", who also participated in dumb and dumber, groundhog Day and many others. In groundhog Day, he is also playing the X-ray doctor. Not the psychiatrist. Ha Ha. He has passed away relatively recently
When he exaggerates the pronunciation of “molasses” I had tears in my eyes. He was explaining the resemblance of Cuba Gooding’s skin color. Like others are blind. 🤣
This is one of those movies I can watch on repeat. Superb performances by Jack, Helen and Greg. Is this as good as it gets???? Love love love this movie.
Nicholson is a formidable actor. No clue if I could say 2 lines after his lines. He won Oscars for roles nobody dares to remake. I dont like him as a human, but as an actor....he is...unique. ❤😊
Agreed! There's something so...organic about this film. It's like taking a peek into the lives of real people. I never skip watching this whenever it comes on even though I have it on DVD lol. Just a brilliant movie all around!
@@DarlingNikki2 Yes, that's what's missing from modern movies and TV shows. You can almost feel the writers trepidation in trying to carefully navigate the minefield of not offending anyone. That's why the dialogue sounds so fake and unnatural these days.
6:34 This part reminds me of my father. He actually did this one time shouting across the restaurant for an order. When I first saw this scene I was in tears laughing. He even looked so similar to Jack which makes it even funnier. R.I.P. father.
I have similarly not shouted, but walked over to the waiter or maitre d' and asked for something the absent waiter forgot, say, butter, or a drink refill.
Probably some of both. Watch is older movies and you can see him develop the basic persona he uses. I think "Missouri Breaks" was his breakout performance... for me, at least. Well worth seeing if you haven't.
Actually the performance I admired the most was that of Greg Kinnear. He was so good with the utter speechlessness at Melvin’s hideous rant. And his speech about his father disowning him due to his sexual orientation was heart-rending. And I loved the flounce he gave at once point when turning away from the monster!
My favorite lines 'I'm drowning here, and you're describing the water!' ( Nicholson to Kinnear) and 'come in and try not to spoil everything by being(pause) YOU!' ( Hunt to Nicholson)
I was a kid when I saw this movie. My mind was all about cartoons and action. But this is the first movie to trigger something in my brain to appreciate good character writing.
Don't know how many times I've seen this film and I never cease to laugh. The interpretation of Jack Nicholson was superb but nevertheless he was only one of many just a superb actors. :-)
"oh you were talking about your dog"..."i thought that it was that odd colored man that ive been seeing in the halls" "what color was that"??? "you know like a, Thick Molasses" hahahaha LOL!!!!!
S klepner And like a true reasonable and accountable man, you only date men right? Because it wouldn't be very reasonable of you to date unreasonable women who have no accountability.
Very quality film. The writing...the Topics, choice of cast, the Acting, the locations, the Musical Choices, Lighting, Cinematography make this a real timeless piece of Art. Never boring to watch...
The pub scene reminds me kinda of The Shining. "Rot in hell Melvin. Ooh, no need to stop being a lady. Quit worryin', you'll be back on hands and knees in no time."
The point when Melvin totally understands Simon is when he asks Simon if his life would be easier if he weren't gay and Simon asks him back if he considers his life easy. Melvin resignedly says I'll give you that one.
I feel the tension in every line of this exchange. It's like a verbal jousting match with no holds barred. The characters are so sharply defined, it's like watching a masterclass in dialogue.
I always liked Kinnear, starting with "Talk Soup." He did do well in this film. I wonder what happened to his career. There's probably a video about him.
say what you want about Melvin, but at least he was honest, didn't give a crap and never held back, he always said what he meant and he always acted like he felt/needed to; a bulldozer of a man with a rapid-fire vitriolic mouth; at least he wasn't an hypocrite
When she says in a roundabout way that his eyes are kind and his reaction; Such incredible work there. The acting...ooo, the acting. When I saw it in the theatre I cried like fat kid who dropped a Snickers down a sidewalk grate. I used a handkerchief to wipe my eyes and a woman behind me said "he came prepared" and I said "I've had several women share the same sentiment about me". She and her friend laughed heartily and a year later, we were married. I lost her two years ago and I each time I see the scene where he's talking to her on the phone and says "I should've danced with you" I get the same teary eyes. What a terrific movie.
Melvin’s publisher must be a great person because he totally blew her off. You could tell she was mad and still sent her husband to take care of Carol’s kid.
@TheWillisShow That’s one of the best parts of the movie, she wasn’t mad, she was pissed off, big time 🤣🤣🤣 Every time I watch that part I piss myself laughing. The other part is when he blows off Cuba’s character I forgot the name though, that part also is a knee slapper, at least for me.
exactly - which is why i laughed when Helen told him "when you first came into the restaurant i thought you were handsome - but then of course you spoke."
thanks a lot for uploading these wonderful scenes, even though I had seen this movie like 10 years ago, I know most of what I saw by heart ... such a wonderful movie and such phenomenal acting performances.
Is it wrong that I feel sorry for Melvin? He does suffer from a mental illness and I think they address that in the film pretty well. Carrol starts to realize that most of the time he really cannot help it. I can sympathize with that, and that is why I love this movie. It grows your distain for who he is until you realize he is a sick man. I love movies that turn an antagonist into a protagonist.
My God I never thought I would say this... it is so refreshing to hear him saying all those politically incorrect things..when people were not weak and could defend themselves... if they could :)))
"People who talk in metaphors ought to shampoo my crotch"...LOL...1 of the best lines in the whole movie besides..."shut up kids" and "ive got JEWS at my table"
You forgot "I'm drowning here and you're describing the water" "Good times, noodle salad" "This can't be right! 'con-science'?" "You're a disgrace to depression"
You got most of the best lines (there are sooooooooo many). Surprised you left out the obvious "you make me wanna be a better man". One of my faves is the scene including "I'm drowning here ... and you're describing the water" + "the best thing you have going is your willingness to humiliate yourself "
I LOVE YOU! Best compilation on this movie I've seen. I must have watched it 10 times but it's still one of the few movies I can see again and not get bored. Good edits, my friend.
This movie is impecable. I don't get tired of watching it
Same here! FUNNY!
Same 😂
Absolutely. It might be Nicholson's best performance. It IS Gooding's best (although Jerry Maguire is neck and neck). Everybody else is fantastic too.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. No wonder Jack won the Oscar for this brilliant role.
I thought Greg Kinnear deserved an award as well. It's a hilarious movie with a great message.
Look elephant girl , god , I love this movie , one of my very favorites ; to many reasons why I love this movie but Nicholson would be the 1st reason why I love it….. love this movie.
I hate this movie. There is nothing good about it.FUCK YOU JACK
@@ianboard544 He definitely should have received a Best Supporting Actor nomination and win! He was fantastic and a perfect foil for Nicholson's neurotic character (I would even add Cuba Gooding, Jr. for a BSA nod as well because he was just hilarious lol).
@ianboard544 Helen Hunt should have won the best supporting actress.
5:20, "Quit worrying, you'll be back on your knees in no time!".
"I've got JEWZZ at my table!" lol
Only thing bigger than your appetite are your noses ….
NYC in a nutshell
"Sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here."
Two Dr. House characters sitting at the same table.
Now there you can see how professional casting is done.
No other actor in the known world could have ever pulled off the charactor of Melvin Udall better than Jack! I still love this movie, cracks me up! Best one-liners ever written!
Totally agree, my fav movie of all time and ive watched it too many times to count, part was written for Jack, love him in movies also Somethings Gotta Give
Shatner lol
Yes but u knew in the end him n his neighbor would become friends
Nicolas Cage probably could have... If you liked this move, you'd like Matchstick Men with him. Very similar
Whoever did the writing for this move did a fantastic job
I think one of the coauthors or producers is the "Doctor", who also participated in dumb and dumber, groundhog Day and many others. In groundhog Day, he is also playing the X-ray doctor. Not the psychiatrist. Ha Ha. He has passed away relatively recently
James L. Brooks
When he exaggerates the pronunciation of “molasses” I had tears in my eyes. He was explaining the resemblance of Cuba Gooding’s skin color. Like others are blind. 🤣
an absolute masterpiece. never ages, always terribly funny, outstanding writing, immense talents
This one..and the bird cage😂
This is such a great film, the scrip, the dialogues, the acting... Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt did an awesome job!
The "shut up kids" and "elephant girl" had me dying.
Right!
I love the “I’m not a prick, you are… I’m not judging” rofl 🤣
Jack is my favorite actor
"elephant girl" caught me by surprise, I laughed out loud
He was putting people down suffering with depression, while I was watching this movie on depression, that made me laugh a lot! That was a good movie 👍
The collective gasps from the other waitresses when Carol suggests that Melvin sit a one of their stations😂.
This is one of those movies I can watch on repeat. Superb performances by Jack, Helen and Greg. Is this as good as it gets???? Love love love this movie.
people that talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crotch....fucking gold!
This is such a good movie. The performances by Helen Hunt, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and especially Jack Nicholson are amazing. Love it.
'Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here' is all time
So brilliantly acted by both main stars.
Great great movie ❤
Best actor of all times!! Love Jack Nicholson!!
Best Actor and Best Movie Star. That’s difficult to pull off. Not for Jack though.
...jack plays jack to perfection.
Jack was brilliant in this film. He played an obnoxious character to the tee.
I like to think Jack Torrance survived the Overlook, changed his name, moved and became a recluse.
Nicholson is a formidable actor. No clue if I could say 2 lines after his lines.
He won Oscars for roles nobody dares to remake. I dont like him as a human, but as an actor....he is...unique. ❤😊
Shame they don’t make movies like this any longer.

Because they wouldnt get approved by Hollyweird... Talking about race, sexual orientation, and mental health issues.

I just noticed Taub and Cuddy having a lunch.
Yes!!!!
@@insertnamehere3710Dang,that was Lisa E?
I’ve watched this movie five times. It’s brilliant.
Jack, either writes his lines or the lines write him. Brilliant just Brilliant. Great job on putting it together.
Probably some of both. Watch is older movies and you can see him develop the basic persona he uses. I think "Missouri Breaks" was his breakout performance... for me, at least. Well worth seeing if you haven't.

And his speech about his father disowning him due to his sexual orientation was heart-rending. And I loved the flounce he gave at once point when turning away from the monster!
He had me convinced he was gay. Who knows, but I think it was acting. Maybe incorporating some of his acquaintances' nuances?
@@KutWriteHe's heterosexual yet this was a great performance.
My favorite lines 'I'm drowning here, and you're describing the water!' ( Nicholson to Kinnear) and 'come in and try not to spoil everything by being(pause) YOU!' ( Hunt to Nicholson)
Awesomedecorator That IS a good one. I forgot that one.
+Awesomedecorator You also gotta love Kinnear's Jack Nicholson impression
"I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability." LOVE THAT FUCKING LINE
The truth shall set you free.
How did you get to write FUCKING without having you You Tube censor you?
Oh wow! I did it too!
It's still true to this day. Even worse than when this came out.
100 percent true
4:32 Rings truer and louder then ever in 2024! Tell Em Jack!
I was a kid when I saw this movie. My mind was all about cartoons and action. But this is the first movie to trigger something in my brain to appreciate good character writing.
Thanks for the Laughs! OMG!
Jack Nicholson "nailed" this caricature.Great movie.4th time renting the movie !!!
Don't know how many times I've seen this film and I never cease to laugh. The interpretation of Jack Nicholson was superb but nevertheless he was only one of many just a superb actors. :-)
"people who talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crotch" I couldn't breathe
I thought was Dr House scene when i saw cuddy so young.
"Elephant girl." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Jack is the bomb!!!! I love him!!!
The stiff one eye.
I can't believe they didn't include his best line! "You make me want to be a better man".
"oh you were talking about your dog"..."i thought that it was that odd colored man that ive been seeing in the halls" "what color was that"??? "you know like a, Thick Molasses" hahahaha LOL!!!!!
This is a beautiful movie. Perfect from beginning to end.
Melvin Udall, the lovable bigot with a compulsive behavior,...that's as good as it gets. Love this movie and Jack did a hell-of-a-good job.
Cuddy and Taub having dinner. That's awesome!
the MOST brilliant phrase ever uttered. Start with a man, then take away reason and accountability
S klepner And like a true reasonable and accountable man, you only date men right? Because it wouldn't be very reasonable of you to date unreasonable women who have no accountability.
S klepner I almost died laughing at that part
ManyLolz Women are smoking hot.
ManyLolz you don't know what accountability means.
Introgauge .C
Funny that you can see into my mind and know what I know and don't know. Are you a wizard?
Very quality film. The writing...the Topics, choice of cast, the Acting, the locations, the Musical Choices, Lighting, Cinematography make this a real timeless piece of Art. Never boring to watch...
The pub scene reminds me kinda of The Shining. "Rot in hell Melvin. Ooh, no need to stop being a lady. Quit worryin', you'll be back on hands and knees in no time."
My personal favourites: "Just what the world needs, another actress." and the big wad of sweaty money line.
Good times noodle salad.....
I'm in love with Jack Nickelson in this movie
The point when Melvin totally understands Simon is when he asks Simon if his life would be easier if he weren't gay and Simon asks him back if he considers his life easy. Melvin resignedly says I'll give you that one.
I feel the tension in every line of this exchange. It's like a verbal jousting match with no holds barred. The characters are so sharply defined, it's like watching a masterclass in dialogue.
Don't discount Greg Kinnear, he's amazing in it also. He has some great lines as well.
if he hadn't been up against Robin Wiliams in Good Will Hunting, he would have deserved the Oscar.
I always liked Kinnear, starting with "Talk Soup." He did do well in this film. I wonder what happened to his career. There's probably a video about him.
Yelling at the kids 😂 and elephant girl line just cracks me up. Usually that humor to me is not funny but he does it in a way that is
ONE of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!!!
"Sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up here."
I say this anytime someone starts talking bible mumbo jumbo to me.
say what you want about Melvin, but at least he was honest, didn't give a crap and never held back, he always said what he meant and he always acted like he felt/needed to; a bulldozer of a man with a rapid-fire vitriolic mouth; at least he wasn't an hypocrite
That was the worst thing about Bill Cosby, the hypocrisy.
The stiff one eye !!!!!!: hilarious
You forgot "What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed that so many others had it good."
When she says in a roundabout way that his eyes are kind and his reaction; Such incredible work there. The acting...ooo, the acting. When I saw it in the theatre I cried like fat kid who dropped a Snickers down a sidewalk grate.

He probably makes her a lot of money and she's used to him.
I forgot how freaking funny this movie is.
"I take away reason, and accountability" Look at the times now. "Accountability is like Kryptonite to women- Kevin Samuels"
"O h you mean that colored fellah"? Killed me I cracked a rib laughing.
one of my favs movies ......absolutely funny
This movie is so incorrect in so many ways. I love it.
No actor could have done it better than Jack.
It's fun to speculate, though. Sam Kinison comes to mind! A younger Jack Lemmon (see "Save the TIger"). James Caan? Tom Cruise?
Taub and Cuddy having lunch years before working at Princeton Plainsboro.
Did I just see Cuddy and Taub on a date? Did House know?! Shit they even got Selena's killer in this!
I so MISS YOU Jack!! You are an amazing person!
He might not be around much longer… he’s 86 and he has Alzheimer’s now
This movie was made just for Nicholson. He's brilliant in it.
only Jack could’ve played this character so damn well 😆
exactly - which is why i laughed when Helen told him "when you first came into the restaurant i thought you were handsome - but then of course you spoke."
thanks a lot for uploading these wonderful scenes, even though I had seen this movie like 10 years ago, I know most of what I saw by heart ... such a wonderful movie and such phenomenal acting performances.
"How do you write women so well"
"I think of a man and take away reason and accountability."
"No offence but a moron, pushing the last legal drug." It kills me, ha ha ha.
How could you leave out "Think white and get serious!" Floors me every time!
The line "You make me want to be a better man" was life changing for me.
"I think of a man, then I take away reason and accountability." Boy that aged well! 😂
Is it wrong that I feel sorry for Melvin? He does suffer from a mental illness and I think they address that in the film pretty well.

Why didn't this film win Best Original Screenplay again?
***** Another great film!
+Bluemgwes because it was a white film and cub gooding got pissed
My God I never thought I would say this... it is so refreshing to hear him saying all those politically incorrect things..when people were not weak and could defend themselves... if they could :)))
You mean when the country didn't turn Communist.
That "elephant lady" isn't even fat. Certainly not by today's standards. Kind of.cute and cuddly
I love his quite… “I’m not a prick, you are I’m not judging” when he was talking to the manager ROFL 🤣😂
0:57 - Greg Kinnear now knows what Shelley Duvall had to endure 17 years prior.
🤣
That interaction with the maid is my favorite part of the movie LOLOLOL
When Darla truly first met the Master...
LOL! jack nicholson thinks of the wierdest yet funniest insults...Jack Nicholson was the perfect actor to play melvin!!!
I think the best line of the whole movie you missed: "You make me want to be a better man"
Jack Nicholson's awesome act, a must watch film !
"People who talk in metaphors ought to shampoo my crotch"...LOL...1 of the best lines in the whole movie besides..."shut up kids" and "ive got JEWS at my table"
How could you leave out probably the best line in the movie where he tells her you make me want to be a better man
The two people at the table (2:19) were both in the medical drama series “House”
This is so brilliant comedy. The Times when Woke culture didn't exist.
Yes, before the liberals took over
You're nuts if you think so. This movie was extremely progressive for its time, still is in many ways
@@Piface2099 try to do similar one and wait for the tsunami of hate.
I love when hes yelling for police, despite the fact that surely someone heard him, no one appears to of called the cops or even check.
Other than its fictional, all his neighbors know him, and probably ignore him.
You forgot
"I'm drowning here and you're describing the water"
"Good times, noodle salad"
"This can't be right! 'con-science'?"
"You're a disgrace to depression"
His next book should have been a manual on how to offend people the right way!
You got most of the best lines (there are sooooooooo many). Surprised you left out the obvious "you make me wanna be a better man". One of my faves is the scene including "I'm drowning here ... and you're describing the water" + "the best thing you have going is your willingness to humiliate yourself "
You're right... so many!
The subject of the video is Mel's monstrosity. I'll guess that's why the good lines were left out.
You can’t get away with making a movie like this today unfortunately
