@@porcelainchic My father-in-law used to clear his throat loudly every morning during the time I was building an A-frame cabin on 40 acres in backwoods Alabama for him and the MIL. There was an 8-acre lake on the property, and the cabin's floor level was to be about 80' above the level of the lake. It's name was Calendar Lake, because all 7 people in the family were named after months of the year. Anyway, I called that early morning Bbbbrrrrrruummmmmhummmm the call of the Calendar Lake monster.
because it is a gay movie and everybody has to pretend they have feelings and men are completely out of control of their body but that's ok cause you don't operate a AK47
If Melvin is the embodiment of OCD, Carol is Anxiety and Simon is Depression. And they help each other through it. Love when a movie has so few characters that the main characters/actors get a chance to go this deep.
I’ve probably watched this movie at least 25 times,the genius of Jack Nicholson,and Helen Hunt is extrodnary ,so was Kinneer ,they both deserved the Oscars for this .
"The best thing you have going for yourself is your willingness to humiliate yourself!" That's gotta be one of the most CHOICE humorous lines ever written!!
@@JC-MindsEye-777 yes.. and not get too deep I find our bodie does things or NOT does things like bad habits. Because there’s a mental and even more a spiritual shift. And our body’s end up doing thing we’re not noticing is different from are past habit
WOW! None of you actually get it, do you? Either you never saw the entire movie or you never had OCD or lived with anyone who did. Melvin's OCD is so bad that every time he comes in the door, he has to go through this ritual of locking and unlocking the door multiple times, counting each time he does it. The obsession is the door and the compulsion is locking and unlocking it. Because Melvin actually has to take care of someone else for a change and he's not all alone by himself like he's been for most of his life focusing on himself, plus his interest in Carol the waitress, it actually takes his mind off of himself and the OCD and he forgets to do his ritual of locking the door. This is very significant. Not because it's symbolic of anything. But rather what support, companionship and love can do for people who suffer from OCD.
Acting in this movie was way beyond magnificent. Unbelievable performances by Helen Hunt & Jack Nicholson. So deserved those Oscar. Nothing like it today.
"Okay if I say something now?" "Go ahead" "I should have danced with you" "[God Damnit... he said the right thing] good night... good night." Melvin is clutch af! He snatches victory from the jaws of defeat like 5 times in this movie!
I love the character development of both actors when both of their lives get turned upside down. Melvin is forced to become more open and sensitive and Simon toughens up and starts standing up for himself.
You won't get anything like this anymore.This movie was years beyond when it was made, and years beyond ever since. It breaks all norms in both past, present, and future.
Calm down sparky. There have been great movies in the past, in the present and will be in the future. Leave that "glory days" mentality in the trash or you'll be stuck living in the past. You really liked this movie, woohoo! It means nothing if the only way you can express it is to shit on everything else. Sound like you haven't learned a damn thing in however many years you've breathed air.
@@JM-db8ez 😂You sound just like I do when I post to people. I'm not one of those nostalgia monkeys where I think everything of the past is better than the present. There are great movies to this day. So with that being said, the reason we won't be getting movies like "As Good as it Gets" (and I could be wrong) is the fact that people these days are so thin skinned. When you get a society that proactively tries to be offended, you don't leave much room for edgy comedy.
It's actually a genius line because it can be applied to lots of things. I use it to describe political commentators. Constantly whining and complaining and finger-pointing (describing the water) but never offering a solution to the problem. Another huge favorite quote is from "Kelly's Heroes". The only movie I know where a female doesn't have a speaking part. Guys only. WW2 flick. Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles. They're on a mission to knock off a bank behind German lines., They fight their way to the town where the bank is at, stuffed full of gold. Unfortunately, the bank is guarded by a Tiger tank. The Nazi tank commander is played by Karl-Otto Alberty. They don't have the weapons to eliminate the tank. They're brainstorming the situation when Don Rickles says, "have you tried making a deal with the guy?" Telly Savalas says, "deal? What kind of deal?" And Rickles says, "a deal, deal! Maybe the guy's a Republican!" That line just puts me on the floor. So the Nazi agrees to the deal and blows the doors off the bank. He gets an equal share of the gold. About $14 million in today's money.
Excellent movie. I fell in love with characters first time I watched it. Still love it now in 2024, . Need to buy it again. I lost all my stuff in a fire 🔥 a decade ago. It's slow going to replace everything.
Never took this movie serious when I first saw it - interesting, quirky with a nice ending. Watched it again recently, the depth of each character is astounding and an embodiment of the most common personality traits; anxiety, nervousness and depression.
That's what you get when James L. Brooks is involved with something. The man is brilliant, especially when it comes to creating characters and lines you'll love.
Masterpiece is the word.Three central characters who we can all relate to with their flaws,anxieties and insecurities,yet redeeming and lovable qualities also, acted out by the best actors of their generation.A brilliant script and all round marvellous movie.In my top ten of great movies ever without question.Three billboards outside Ebbing,Missouri being another one.
I’m my view one of the best movies ever made.Among many excellent qualities the acting by Nicholson, Hunt( one of my all time favorite actresses)and Kinnear was just superb.
Throughout this entire movie, you see his fear and uncertainty, and doubt all over his face at every moment - but at the same time you see his sarcastic nature come out to try and defend himself. The only place he can’t use it is in trying to win the woman he loves. Doesn’t work with her. I love this movie.
No. It most certainly does NOT. Melvin's OCD is so bad that every time he comes in the door, he has to go through this ritual of locking and unlocking the door multiple times, counting each time he does it. The obsession is the door and the compulsion is locking and unlocking it. Because Melvin actually has to take care of someone else for a change and he's not all alone by himself like he's been for most of his life focusing on himself, plus his budding interest in Carol the waitress, it actually takes his mind off of himself and the OCD and he forgets to do his ritual of locking the door. This is very significant. Not because it's symbolic. But rather because of what support, companionship and love can do for people who suffer from OCD.
I adore this movie so much. Melvin does make me cringe, often, but I find it's such a delightfully earnest film about different kinds of love. I really just love it so much.
The script supervisor or a substitute reads the lines off camera in this situation in Wrath of Khan Ricardo Montalbán delivered his lines to the script girl
Yeah, that's exactly how a New Yorker would have said it. Even though Simon is gay, you could tell he lives in NYC. That's why I like this movie. Everything about "As Good As It Gets" has that characteristic New York trait.
Such good writing. Such great acting. "you know who you want" "get in your jammies and I'll read you a story" "your willingness to humiliate yourself' "I'm drowning here, and you're describing the water" "I'm an incredible person and she wants no contact" The shoulder shove was priceless.
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED... the most brilliant moment in comedy history...a character in a movie doing a Nicholson impression to Jack in a movie scene where he's NOT playing himself 😂😂😂❤🎉
"and you people are suppoused to be sensitive and sharp!?", I love how the movie shows people can change, but its not a magical process, Melvin at this point was a pretty good person...but he was still Melvin, lol.

Smoothing his hair before he talks to her on the phone…what a great touch.
To then cough straight into the phone
He was self-comforting. People tend to do that as an automatic response to a stressful moment. His OCD just makes the need more intense.

It worked Hugh Did IT NOT work Out
lmao
But is that not life, the faster you get over the first fails, it’s only a matter of time
The term for that is "vulnerability"❤
I'm tired of watching clips, time to watch this wonderful movie again.
JUST what I was thinking!
I just did. Loved it all over again.
This movie is incredible, all three deserved an Oscar.
"I should've danced with you" -a universal regret. I imagine a dying husband saying this to his wife of decades.
Simon should have won the oscar for best supporting actor...great acting
If Melvin is the embodiment of OCD, Carol is Anxiety and Simon is Depression. And they help each other through it. Love when a movie has so few characters that the main characters/actors get a chance to go this deep.
I did not like her character as all.
She is human..
Yeah it was an incredibly good movie.
My Best Friends Wedding was like that. But this movie’s acting hit an entire different level.
This observation was wowww!
We are all so grateful that he was brave enough to show up at her door! Why aren’t more men brave that way??
Because restraining orders are a hell of a thing to deal with. Risk vs Reward.
Kinnear was the best actor in this lovely film about true love and people suffering from neurosis.
One of the greatest love story movies, ever made.
'I'm drowning here and you're describing the water.' Sigh...story of my life!
Amazing writing... jeesus...Hunt and Nicholson acting masterclass - Absolutely STELLAR
I’ve probably watched this movie at least 25 times,the genius of Jack Nicholson,and Helen Hunt is extrodnary ,so was Kinneer ,they both deserved the Oscars for this .
The problem with this show was, you need to watch it at least 3x to understand all the subtle jokes
But it's absolutely worth it👍👍👍
"The best thing you have going for yourself is your willingness to humiliate yourself!" That's gotta be one of the most CHOICE humorous lines ever written!!
I love how Simon turned himself into a version of Jack/Melvin and made him listen. Right down to the body language. Genius acting
"I forgot to lock the door" how profoundly symbolic that line is.
I’d love to know what it means to you, then I’ll tell you mine
@@haloed-hero symbolically it could be translated as him saying "I didn't lock my cage, because I found a purpose to be free"

@@retroguy9494 Beautifully said.
This was such a WELL written movie. Beautifully acted of course. But the writing was stellar.
“Your willingness to humiliate yourself”! Got me!
Great acting by all 3!
Acting in this movie was way beyond magnificent. Unbelievable performances by Helen Hunt & Jack Nicholson. So deserved those Oscar. Nothing like it today.
There are still good movies and actors today. Try British and European as well, so many great actors there.
Of course he was nominated to win the Oscar for best actor. I love this film.
Helen won best actress too. I love this film as well. A timeless masterpiece of a film!
Wasn't just nominated but won too, as did Helen.
"and you people are supposted to be sharp & sensitive," LOL
@Italian69Boi wow after 9 years finally someone corrected it, i was waiting for ages for this moment!
“She might kill me if I go over there..”
That line totally caught me off guard🤣
One of the greatest and favorite movie of all time!!!
🎉 this is one of the best scenes in the movie. Jack Nicholson and Greg Kinnear are both great.
"She's evicted me from my own life." "Did you really like it anyway?" Awesome....awesome.
I love it lol. My favorite movie as a kid.
Well, that's because Simon KNEW Melvin was all alone, sad, miserable and suffering from severe OCD.
greg should have won too
Love this movie! I fell for Jack's flawed yet very loveable character!😂
an amazing acting job
"I forgot to lock the door"
That line really gets me....
If you 'lock' yourself away from possibilities, life is bleack.
He also has OCD and used to lock the door 3 times per each lock.
True Story
"Okay if I say something now?"
"Go ahead"
"I should have danced with you"
"[God Damnit... he said the right thing] good night... good night."
Melvin is clutch af! He snatches victory from the jaws of defeat like 5 times in this movie!
I love the character development of both actors when both of their lives get turned upside down. Melvin is forced to become more open and sensitive and Simon toughens up and starts standing up for himself.
Good movie and cast. It's not about the dance. It's about the embrace 😊

True , not easy to play that roll....just a great actor like him ..
Man Jack its an amazing actor, his skills are off the charts, damn !
So beautiful... The unlocked door may symbolize that his heart is finally unlocked too.
No. It most certainly does NOT.
Melvin's OCD is so bad that every time he comes in the door, he has to go through this ritual of locking and unlocking the door multiple times, counting each time he does it. The obsession is the door and the compulsion is locking and unlocking it.

It indicates that the pills are working.
OH Greg you are terrific in this role, you deserve an OSCAR Yes
Once he said, "I forgot to lock the door", I knew he was going to get her back come hell or highwater.
"I'm drowning here!!....and you're describing the water", ..Sick
I absolutely LOVE this movie.
I adore this movie so much. Melvin does make me cringe, often, but I find it's such a delightfully earnest film about different kinds of love. I really just love it so much.
I love those telephones, the bell rings when she hits the desk. Sorry I’m getting old
Not only was JACK terrific in this - Greg Kinnear hit it out of the park in this too. I mean Kinnear was OUTSTANDING.
He should have won the Oscar!
Think about Helen Hunt's phone dialogue as an actress, without the other side of the conversation. She's amazing!
you are so right.

Honestly, this is quite possibly the best movie I've ever seen. Soooo much depth.
When three fantastic actors do a scene, it has to be good...great! As good as it gets.
Great film and dialogue.
I adore this movie..so beautiful in all its wonderful portray of the human condition :))
Great writing!
Fabulous film ❤
“I forgot to lock the door” amazing
How Greg didn’t win an Oscar here is crazy.
Because he didn't eat his food. 😂
He is excellent actor 🎭
He was unlucky, Robin Williams was amazing in Good Will Hunting.
I belive Greg would have won if Good Will Hunting had come out any other year.
I love the Jack Nicholson impression as a Melvin Udall impression
Great movie, script,castig,acting, emotion...wonderfull.
LOL she is just as crazy as he is.
Indeed, she tries to act like she's the normal one, no she's nuts too. Just better at presenting it.
I love this movie. What great performances from all the actors. My favorite part is the compliment at the restaurant.
"Then get into your jammies and I'll read you a story!"
It don’t get no better than this film…..
I still owned this movie 🍿🎥 til this day and I only saw it on tv and not in theaters, because I was too young at the time.
I stole the VHS tape from the place I worked at.📼
This movie was the best

I love this movie. And I own it. 💖🐾
What's the name of it please?
The movie was phenomenal
Such a beautiful way of capturing inbetween girls and boys 💖
Remember when we used to talk on the phone?
Now, it is impersonal, unemotional, inhuman texting.
No one misses conversations like this.
I remember talking to my bestfriend on the phone for over two hours, even if we'd still go to the same school the next day
It's like watching children maneuver love.
"and you people are suppoused to be sensitive and sharp!?", I love how the movie shows people can change, but its not a magical process, Melvin at this point was a pretty good person...but he was still Melvin, lol.
" eu devia ter dançado Contigo" ... exactly 😢
