Highly under rated dark comedy. Teri Garr is especially good here. Griffin Dunne was also in the fabulous "American Werewolf in London," and the seemingly now unknown satire "Search and Destroy (1995)," with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken. Another devastatingly funny dark comedy.
I liked the little nod to American Werewolf in London when the cop in the subway reacts to Griffin Dunne's antics by saying "There must be a full moon tonight"
Holy shit, one of my fav movies and it never gets talked about let alone reacted to. I’ve had fever dream nights like this movie 😶it’s so good. What a great channel bravo 👏🏽
First saw this movie in the theatre! Not many people in attendance! About five minutes in, people began to exit! I love this movie and have owned it on vhs and dvd!
my favorite description of this movie is that its like that episode of Spongebob where he gets stuck in Rock Bottom but in real life and feature film length
I saw this over 30 years ago when I was a teenager. I always felt like I saw a lost masterpiece because I didn't know anyone else who had seen it. It would be many years later before I could talk to anyone about this lost classic.
One of my all-time favorite movies. THANK YOU for being among the first movie reactors to take it on! Your take is extremely perceptive, as always. Sharing!
There is a movie that fell by the side pretty quick, but it is one of my favorites."Quick Change" with Bill Murray, Geena Davis and Randy Quaid. They rob a bank in NYC. It pretty much goes off without a hitch, but they can't get out of the city. One thing after another thwarts their plans. It is funny, and I like it al lot.
Wow, I can't believe you did After Hours. That's so cool. It's among the films I really want someone like you to react to--especially with your insight as a filmmaker and the unique value it could add to your craft--but never suggest because I assume it wouldn't make the cut. Lesson learned.
A REALLY underrated film in my opinion! It’s an insane blast from start to finish, and I love the constant feelings of stress and confusion (almost like Uncut Gems or Good Time’s vibe in a weird way)
just finished listening to Griffin Dunne's new memoir (The Friday Afternoon Club ) where he talks about trying to get this film made. He had been brainstorming with an unknown director, Tim Burton, for months who he'd found after seeing Vincent, a 6 minute short. Meanwhile, his agent had pitched it to Scorsese who agreed to direct. Griffen wrote that the day he met up with Tim to explain his dilemma, Tim showed up with some little set design thing and was all enthusiastic - but after Griffin told him about Scorsese, he gave him his blessing. Soon after, Tim Burton was making blockbusters. (I think you'd like the book)
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
WOW!!!!! Dropping everything to watch this! It won a "drama-romance" poll??? LOL. This ain't a drama, or a romance......I don't know WHAT this movie is, but anything that gets an "After Hours" reaction is fine by me!!! See you on the other side!!!
This was my favorite movie when it was released on VHS. The surreal quality is reflected in the direction, action, writing and score. I spent a lot of time in New York in the wee hours of the morning and this movie captures that strange, dreamlike (and nightmarish) feel. My twelve block walk to a subway station in Ozone Park at 3 am featured one such nightmarish and bizarre visual that still sticks with me to this day and that might be the reason why I now have a hard time watching this movie. That's an extreme compliment for the movie as it nailed its atmosphere.
Yeah, this movie is not only great on it's own right, but I connected to it as well on a personal level. After moving to Austin for college in the mid-80's, no car, experimenting with being on my own for the first time, there were many nights similar to events in this movie, lol. Such an underrated classic film by one of the greats.
When this movie first came out, I was bewildered by its lukewarm reception by both critics and audiences, because I thought it was hilariously insane. I need to watch the whole thing again now...
This is one of my favorites movies and since it's so obscure I was shocked to see this video pop up on my feed. Thanks for the reaction man, I hope you enjoyed your watch!
The best thing was this was a straight up independent film that Scorsese was able to make without any micromanagement from the studios and helped his career get back on track after it became a hit, and more importantly helped him become sober. This is an all timer in terms of his work for sure that I'm super glad you were able to check out, James.
Totally agree. Also worth noting: Scorsese's shortest film! A guy who is known for 3 - 4 hour films brings this one at 90 minutes.....credits included!
Wow, you REALLY got this movie! Definitely so NYC, NYC at night, downtown in the 80s.....so on the money. Marty did Raging Bull, then King Of Comedy, then After Hours. My favorite run of Scorsese movies, I just remember being blown away by his career choices during those years. Also, totally on the money thinking of Lynch (Blue Velvet came out the next year), also stuff like the Coen Brothers "Blood Simple" and "Raising Arizona", which I always equate this with. (and other 80s movies like "The Thin Blue Line", "Repo Man", etc). Fantastic reaction, you didn't miss anything on this one!!!
The movie has held up really well for almost 40 years. It's still super funny. I watched it just a couple months ago at a cinema screening and had a blast with it.
Both a very dark comedy, and a scarily realistic view of what SoHo was like back in the 80's. Now it's gentrified, and none of these characters could afford to live there, but back then, it was a very interesting place not fit for anyone who didn't live there. Always enjoyed this film.
Also check out "Into the Night" with Jeff Goldblum & Michelle Pfeiffer and "Something Wild" with Jeff Daniels & Melanie Griffith. All 3 of these movies came out within a year of each other and have similar themes.
Thank for getting around to this film. So good. Another Scorsese film that feels like it coexists with this film's world is "Bringing out the dead", starring Nicholas Cage.
Ngl I literally JUST watched this movie for the first time and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, one of the most interesting Scorsese films out there. Crazy blend of dark comedy and surrealism portrayed in the downtown NYC area at night. Definitely in My Top 10 Favorite Scorsese films ever.
This came almost a full decade after Taxi Driver. I forget all the details, but this was done after Scorsese's first attempt at making Last Temptation of Christ fell apart. His frustrations from that experience informed the sensibility of After Hours heavily.
The guy who wrote this also wrote another '80s NYC classic with Nicolas Cage (totally unhinged) called Vampire's Kiss that is amazing and absolutely worth checking out..
I don't know if you've seen it, but I always felt a spiritual sequel to this one is BRINGING OUT THE DEAD. Another Scorsese lesser known, underrated, creative gem of a film. EDIT: It's just come out that a new 4K restoration is coming. We won!!!
This might be my favorite movie. It's at least in the top 5. My understanding is that the first time Scorsese tried to make The Last Temptation of Christ in 1983 it fell apart. (He was subsequently able to go back and finish the film in 1988.) This movie reflected how Scorsese was feeling after that project collapsed.
I grew up in New York state and lived only 45 minutes from the city itself. I have visited NYC many many times and can attest to the feeling as you put it, an 'euphoric anxiety'. Even though I've experienced the nightlife on a near regular basis, it's always a new adventure. And as a gay man, there's no shortage of thrills in the Big Apple. PS. those two leather clad men in the bar were real gay adult film stars.
Michael Clayton, Barton Fink, La Haine and now After Hours - you consistently pick my cult favourites that everyone else seems to always overlook. Good stuff, man, this movie's atmosphere is inimitable. Although if you do want something with a similar vibe, crossed with a nuclear war scare theme, try Miracle Mile.
When the casting cracks in front of his office, I feel it's shows a metamorphosis within his life that continues as normal even though, somehow, it has changed. And Scorsese recognizes better to not try to explain it any further.
I worked in the movie theater when this was out. Always liked it :). I always seem to be drawn to movies that have circular themes or onion (and de-onion) themselves in an interesting way. There's also this name in the credits I loved from the Mob list: Rockets Redglare Don't know if it's a pseudonym but all these years I still remember you! :D
Rockets Redglare's father and uncle were in the mob. Michael Morra (his birth name) had a crazy life. It might make a good film. Plus he was in "Stranger Than Paradise," one of my favorite films.
I like the Liminial Space term! Eaxtaly what it is. I feel a bit lost, and strange people come out in strange cicumstances. As if I'm somebody else too.
I have this weird relationship with this movie where I am extremely attracted to most of the characters, even actors who I have no interest in outside of it
I get why it's been overshadowed by the more obvious Scorsese hits, but I just watched this for the first time this week and it's up there with his best work imo. one of the best dark comedies of all time in general.
This film shows you what could happen if you attempt to break out of your mundane life. It may be chaotic and even terrifying but when he is an old man looking back on his life, this will be likely be valued as a memory unlike any other.
Does his face take up the whole screen even on patrion when he starts talking or is that more watcher friendly? Please let me know. Looking for somebody to take the role of mr. Video since he went to jail lol
It is quite peculiar. And nobody seems to ever be talking about. Have you seen The King of Comedy? That is my favorite scorsese film. So awkward and funny.
I'm struck by the fact that you say early on that he is an interesting character and you are interested in his character, because I always thought of him as a blank space or a very passive character that things just happen to. I'll have to rethink that.
Another Scorsese masterpiece. At the time after The King of Comedy Scorsese going to directing The Last Temptation of Christ but he didn't get the money to do the movie and almost got another downfall but when he got the After Hours script he's in back in the game. When the movie was released it was modest box office succes and the critics love it and in the Cannes film festival Scorsese won the best director awards for the movie. Trivia. This is the first time for Scorsese working with cinematography Michael Ballhaus and Music Composer Howard Shore.
@James Have you seen The King of Comedy, yet? Another underrated Scorcese gem. After Hours is fantastic. I rented it in 1986 and loved it. I don’t think I’ve seen it since that first viewing. So good. I forgot about the Cheech and Chong cameo. I was watching your reaction and describing the film to my wife and telling her it reminded me of a Lynch film and then not a minute later you said the same thing in your commentary! I low key felt validated. 😊

Highly under rated dark comedy. Teri Garr is especially good here. Griffin Dunne was also in the fabulous "American Werewolf in London," and the seemingly now unknown satire "Search and Destroy (1995)," with Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken. Another devastatingly funny dark comedy.
Really enjoyed all the character here!
Julie Cruise was in this too! Although more of a cameo.
I liked the little nod to American Werewolf in London when the cop in the subway reacts to Griffin Dunne's antics by saying "There must be a full moon tonight"
@@TerryNationB7 good catch.
@@Trepanist Tie in to David Lynch's world.
Love this film. There have been moments in my life that reminds of it.
oh man i love this one, managed to catch a screening of it at my local theater back on the 30th. fantastic film
Holy shit, one of my fav movies and it never gets talked about let alone reacted to. I’ve had fever dream nights like this movie 😶it’s so good. What a great channel bravo 👏🏽
Thank You Finally!!!! Been waiting for this one since discovering your channel...my favorite film of all time ❤
First saw this movie in the theatre! Not many people in attendance! About five minutes in, people began to exit!
I love this movie and have owned it on vhs and dvd!
This is in my top 3 for Marty movies, so underrated.
my favorite description of this movie is that its like that episode of Spongebob where he gets stuck in Rock Bottom but in real life and feature film length
Ultimate nightmare! What is beautiful is it all happens on a weekday! Got to go to work in a few ours but, I can’t get home!
Beau is Afraid reminds me of this one
ETA I am so glad your patrons have such good taste!
After Hours is my favorite film of all time and i'm glad you liked it

Puts the Ted Lasso homage episode into perspective!
Thanks for this! This brilliant film is rarely reacted to here!
A REALLY underrated film in my opinion! It’s an insane blast from start to finish, and I love the constant feelings of stress and confusion (almost like Uncut Gems or Good Time’s vibe in a weird way)
I agree!! Great films to bounce off from too. Reminds me of EraserHead in a way too.
@@JamesVSCinema oh yeah, great point! I hadn’t even considered that!
The Safdies were definitely influenced by this movie, no doubt.
Saw the thumbnail and I laughed at the thought about how you would be tripping on this one. :D
Scorsese’s best, fucking all-timer
Heavily enjoyed this one!

Actually the first Martin Scorsese movie I ever saw. It was the movie that helped reboot his career after he crashed in the mid 80s.
Into The Night (1985) starring Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer
When this movie first came out, I was bewildered by its lukewarm reception by both critics and audiences, because I thought it was hilariously insane. I need to watch the whole thing again now...
Glad you are one to dive into some of these more obscure films. This one is one of my favorites.
This is one of my favorites movies and since it's so obscure I was shocked to see this video pop up on my feed. Thanks for the reaction man, I hope you enjoyed your watch!
Ditto!
Definitely one of my favorite Scorsese films. Absolutely bonkers. Rosanna Arquette's performance is a peak for me. The entire cast is great.
The best thing was this was a straight up independent film that Scorsese was able to make without any micromanagement from the studios and helped his career get back on track after it became a hit, and more importantly helped him become sober.

Tries to take the money from the sculpture that's made of money and you drop. "Has he become what the sculpture represents?" 🔥
Saw this in the theater and had no idea what I was getting myself into... what a ride!!! Left the film feeling elated over what I just saw.
Wow, you REALLY got this movie! Definitely so NYC, NYC at night, downtown in the 80s.....so on the money. Marty did Raging Bull, then King Of Comedy, then After Hours.

Great choice homie! I really dug this film!
The only Martin Scorcese movie I've seen that I actually liked.
Thank for getting around to this film. So good.

I recommended this movie long time ago with ghost dog: the way of the samurai
Thank you
Saw After Hours in the new release section at my local video store back in the 1980s and rented it many times. Great film.
This came almost a full decade after Taxi Driver. I forget all the details, but this was done after Scorsese's first attempt at making Last Temptation of Christ fell apart. His frustrations from that experience informed the sensibility of After Hours heavily.
Good pick! Soho in the '80's was adventure land.
The guy who wrote this also wrote another '80s NYC classic with Nicolas Cage (totally unhinged) called Vampire's Kiss that is amazing and absolutely worth checking out..
This could be the McCallisters: How I Met Your Mother.
Most underrated movie of all time
This movie is a crazy deep cut
I don't know if you've seen it, but I always felt a spiritual sequel to this one is BRINGING OUT THE DEAD. Another Scorsese lesser known, underrated, creative gem of a film.
EDIT: It's just come out that a new 4K restoration is coming. We won!!!
Another Scorsese movie makes traveling through New York feel like a trip through Hell.
Yeah, Bring Out The Dead has some wild manic energy. Scorsese and Nicholas Cage for the win.
If you want a bleaker version of this type of story, may I recommend Miracle Mile (1989). Believe me, it'll leave you haunted.
Definitely my favourite film from Scorsese, and a great cast. Another film that gives me similar vibes to this is O Lucky Man with Malcolm McDowell.
This might be my favorite movie. It's at least in the top 5.
My understanding is that the first time Scorsese tried to make The Last Temptation of Christ in 1983 it fell apart. (He was subsequently able to go back and finish the film in 1988.) This movie reflected how Scorsese was feeling after that project collapsed.

Dude! One of my favorites! Hope you liked it, too. Guess I'll find out.
This movie is a nonstop inescapable anxiety dream and hands down my favorite Scorseez.
I was watching this yesterday, an underatted Scorsese film.
Yeah it really sticks with you!
Yooooo I remember that old-school NYC cable box
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Happy to hear it!
One of my favorite films! Over the years I have recommended film many times. How could such a great Martin Scorsese film be this unknown!?
This makes for a great double-feature with the early Keanu Reeves movie The Night Before. Very similar premise, and released just a few years later.
I worked in the movie theater when this was out. Always liked it :). I always seem to be drawn to movies that have circular themes or onion (and de-onion) themselves in an interesting way.

I love this film; saw it multiple times in the theatre. It makes a great double feature with The King of Comedy, eh.
I love this highly underrated movie
I’m on the same team friend 🤘🏽
Never seen this film but as a kid I was always fascinated by the box in the video store.
I get why it's been overshadowed by the more obvious Scorsese hits, but I just watched this for the first time this week and it's up there with his best work imo. one of the best dark comedies of all time in general.

I love this movie, but I don't know many people that have seen it.
My favorite Scorsese movie
This is a movie I like to put on if I come home drunk but earlier than I expected, like maybe if I expected to get laid and didn’t
Top 5 Scorsese movie. I got that 4k Criterion a couple months ago.
Does his face take up the whole screen even on patrion when he starts talking or is that more watcher friendly? Please let me know. Looking for somebody to take the role of mr. Video since he went to jail lol
It is quite peculiar. And nobody seems to ever be talking about.
Have you seen The King of Comedy? That is my favorite scorsese film. So awkward and funny.
A movie similar to this but very different and starts in New York is Stars and Bars. Daniel Day Lewis stars. You'd love it.
I'm struck by the fact that you say early on that he is an interesting character and you are interested in his character, because I always thought of him as a blank space or a very passive character that things just happen to. I'll have to rethink that.
80s movies were on a whole other level back then. Just so good.
Loosely based on Kafka's, The Trial.
Please review the version of, The Trial, with Kyle MacLachlan and Anthony Hopkins.
Another Scorsese masterpiece. At the time after The King of Comedy Scorsese going to directing The Last Temptation of Christ but he didn't get the money to do the movie and almost got another downfall but when he got the After Hours script he's in back in the game.
