- I'm willing to risk a RUclips strike on this vid but I just think this scene should be up here. This character just kills me and this scene is the highlight of the wonder of the combo in "Stealing Home" of Jodie Foster's performance and David Foster's score. I adore it. See this movie any way you can.
Jodie Foster is excellent in this film. The subtle sadness in her eyes near the end of this clip is a hint of the despair that will ultimately consume her character's life...A heartbreaking performance, only strengthened by David Foster's moving score.
jsun322 agree. Great comment !
Such an awesome comment.
Just noticed your replies. Thank you, Marko!
The transition on her face from the joy of describing her fantasy to the sadness of knowing it was never going to happen in this life is truly heartbreaking.
Compleyely underrated. Great movie
This movie has provided many with a spiritual awakening.. When I was in college, I got caught up in partying a little too much and found myself in a "low" period of mental and physical well being. For a guy, it's tough to admit, but this movie brought me through a very trying time in my junior year of college and 20 years later this movie and David Foster's score is engrained in my soul.. I have two beautiful daughters now that I will pass this down to when they come of the right age.. I wish Jodie Foster would speak more of this film.. It was some of her best work.. :)
Same here - more or less. You describe it well.
👍👍
Indeed. You feel like you are flying off the pier with her.
Harmon did a few minutes on it a few years ago(google). I also wish she would talk about it more. She 's never mentioned it and its almost always ignored when people talk about Foster films.
Sierra: God bless your lines.The film, the song? Touches souls still 2020 and forever.From the Dominican Republic.
The look in her eyes at the end of this scene when she says "God I wish I could do that"...I feel that way far too often...
Jeff Palmieri oh me too.... awesome awesome acting and scene.
Me too
@@markocombs5428 : Me too.
@@Goldenrod39 : Me too.
Jodie Foster should had been a double nominee at the 1989 oscars, her performance in stealing home is pitch perfect
Siddharth ...It’s funny how this RUclips channel keeps bringing me back over the years...I’m stoked more people are seeing this film :) Agreed siddharth regarding Jodie Foster & being a double Oscar Nominee in 89’ ...most definitely...I’m thinking it was “The Accused” you’re referring to, that film...that haunting music...that performance & the subject matter was dark & she played it the only way Foster knows; tragically beautiful. She’s amazing. I love her latest projects she’s having fun with still amazing whether directing or on screen, she’s always bringing me back to “Stealing Home” just watch it :)
@@MeghanChenoweth love this film, It's just perfect in bringing up that nostalgic feel that the film calls for and Jodie's perfomance and David Foster's beautiful score are the biggest contributors to this marvel
Favorite movie of all time. The depth, nostalgia, the score, the emotion, the realness and I could just go on and on. Since I was 14 it’s been my favorite. It hurts so good is the best way I can describe it but it speaks to me in so many ways and continues to. It never gets old and never well. The best
100%
This movie is so underrated and highly misunderstood by the critics, it perfectly elicits the feel of nostalgia and regret major kudos goes to a brilliant musical score by David Foster. Jodie Foster like always shines and gave a beautiful performance, I wished she had received awards attention for this performance and so did Foster's score
Totally agree.
A historical masterpiece of youth movies and the masterpiece of a young Jodie Foster
I can watch this movie over and over again and never get enough, this is a gem!
Astral: I bought it.The film, the song? PRICELESS.OH and yes Ill be 42 and I ALWAYS cry the film like first time since its start.
I feel the same about this gem!
One of the greatest acting moments of any movie I have seen and not easy for even A list actors to pull off. To switch from one emotion of pure joy to utter despair and translate that in her eyes the way she did was incredible to me as a viewer!!! This movie from the 80's got the harshest reviews yet has scored very high among audiences who saw it. You will either get the spiritual connection with it or you will not, plain and simple.
Randy Solomon agree! AWESOME scene and movie
Jodie is an A list actor
This scene has haunted me since I first saw it in 1988.
Randy, very well-worded comment and could not agree with you more!!!
@@markocombs5428 😘😘😘😘😘😘I agree.
This song, like so many other David Foster songs, is amazingly, hauntingly awesome. I can't read a lick of sheet music but that key change where the sax starts is incredible. Love this guy's work.
A great scene. Very profound. I'd forgotten how beautiful Jodie Foster was.
She's still great
she's still naurally beautiful
Her beauty is angelic.
When you loose the people that mean the world to you watch this movie even with the hardest pain we go on
Erick: 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧Too deep Sr.
This scene with THAT background music might be Jodie's Foster's best acting ever in any movie.
Agree!!
Yes!!!
This movie is a must see... but prepare yourself for a literal rollercoaster of emotions. Jodie Foster absolutely knocked this one out of the park. She truly brings Katie Chandler to life. The movie critics are so off the mark on this one.
One of my favorite films. I tossed out my VHS tapes years ago, so I am always appreciative when someone takes the time to upload scenes from wonderful movies from the past. This was a gentle, touching film in many ways....Jodie Foster played the "free spirited" companion so beautifully....Mark Harmon was perfect as the down and out baseball player who looks back on her influence on his life...They were many scenes I remember. Once again, thanks for taking the time to post this video.
Bob Mac agree on all counts! Absolutely superb movie and this scene brings tears to my eyes still.
I adored this movie from the first time I saw it in the theater in 1988. In 1996, I saw my ex-boyfriend for the last time before he killed himself the following year. Oddly, I heard that line from the movie in my head as he drove away but changed the pronoun, "And that was the last time I ever saw him." The soundtrack, the scenery, the beach, the cars, & the characters are what make this movie unlike anything else. It's sad, happy, funny, heartbreaking, honest. It received horrible reviews when it first came out. It's one of those you either understand it or you don't. If you do, you are my tribe!
Roo: Come to the Dominican Republic.🙄🤔Huh? The meaning of this film and the song? 2 LEGENDS.Were the heart and soul meet.🤧🤧🤧🤧If people could listen instead of hearing .
I am in your tribe and have been since I saw it as well in the theater. Stays with you for a lifetime in many ways
jodie foster is unforgettable in this movie and the music score is superb,my favorite music pice of the soundtrack.Thank you for this!!!
Love this movie, and this clip gets me every time. It made me sad and annoyed to see how IMBD misquoted the monologue from this scene. There's not many I can remember after all these years but this one stuck with me.
“ See that's all I really wanna do Billy-Boy. I want to leap off this pier and fly high in the air, and hang out with the wind and drift with the clouds, and at night with the Moon full and the sea wild, I’d meet my lover high on a cliff and we'd swoop down into the ocean and swim all the way and touch the bottom up through the dark water and break the surface. And then we'd fly to Jamaica for Pina Colatas... God, I wish I could do that.
I've recited that scene so many times since I first saw it. I grew up in Atlantic City maybe ten or fifteen years after the time setting in this movie. Plus I was born and all my relatives are from Philadelphia. This film brings back so many memories of AC and Philly, and through my adulthood I kind of was similar to the Katie character. Just along for the ride in this life, when it ends it ends, etc. I love this movie.
What's interesting is that Foster herself wrote this monologue, it wasn't in the script
FYI, the Katie character so beautifully defined in this scene, makes no reference to God. For whatever reason, I believe this would somehow not suit this particular 15yr. old kid.
Amazing movie, acting, scenery, soundtrack, saw it in the movie theater when l was 17, a true work of art
I agree with the above comment. I love this powerful underrated film. Will always be in my collection.
"God I wish I could do that." Just an example of why I consider Jodie Foster one of the greatest actresses of all time.
A 5 star film with an original score that is simply MAGICAL..
Phant: A 10 film and song.🤧🤧🤧🤧I ALWAYS cry it.🤔🙄Why? The film has heart but the song has soul.
On my list of all time favorites.
Bryan: The film and song? A LEGEND.
The music is what made this movie 🍿 God David Foster is a true treasure.
Man, I remember watching this a long time ago. But it was so hard to remember its title. I only remembered this scene and the scene where he throws her ashes into the ocean. Even google search couldn't help me, hahah. Strange how youtube was the one that solved my problem. And I didn't even remember Jodie Foster was the female lead.
I loved this movie and loved this scene .
Big: Im 42 ands still my favorite film and song.One actually has, the films a must to watch to understand songs feelings.U with me?
This movie always get to me...I can watch it a hundred times & feel like I'm seeing it for the first time...& I cry every time at certain points in the movie...what an amazing cast...from Jodie Foster to Mark Harmon...Jonathan Silverman..& on & on..incredible groups of actors & actresses coming together for this film..David Foster's score is incredible in this movie...
This was my favorite seen ever
bighotroastbeef scene
Could not agree more, amazing what magic you can create with superb acting, exquisite soundtrack and just so photography.
I love this film so much.
PJ DEX: OH I agree upmost!!!! Im 42 and still no film can top the films meaning.The song? 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧Sr. Foster kills me everytime I get to listen it.My father🙄🤔? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 THE SONG OR THE MOVIE? 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧Both dad, both.
I adore you for posting my favorite scene in my favorite movie...I'm LOVING that more & more people are finally coming across this film & liking it enough to do youtube searches for scenes etc...that makes me happy❤️just had my 20th HFS high school reunion & u bet this song & movie was part of my best friends must watch together before we head home~having been thru a couple of crap relationships in my adult life so far, this film is even more relatable than ever. Anyhow meant to just say thank you for the risk 😉 uploading this... (My arms are wide open "I love you risk taker boy!!!"
Megh: No, no I love you for those lines.
You can literally feel the look in her eyes at the end...
I loved this movie as a kid.
this was a great movie, and the music was beautiful!
I still don't understand why critics hated this film
🤔Because they heard the film did not listen each characters words maybe?
I agree. The acting wasn't bad, the scenery was great, the music was great. It was a sweet story. I have never understood why it was panned. Maybe Jodie was considered a "joke" at that time because she went off to Yale and was trying to return to her acting career so the critics had their pitchforks out?
@@LiamForeman FYI Jodie was never considered a joke, she already had revolutionised child movie star persona and by this time people did see her as a movie star but someone making a comeback although she was still "The Jodie Foster" and was top billed. As far as this film is considered, she didn't even had a leading role it was a extended cameo appearance
Because the soundtrack carried the movie
Jodie make me dream again and again !
I always liked this scene, reminds me of better times, Jodie Foster is a great actress!!
God I wish I could do that.🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧This film hits me haaard and deep.
IMO, Jody Foster is not only one of the best actresses, but also she, to me, is THE BEST facial expression actress.
I absolutely LOVE Jodie Foster in this movie.
It is so unfortunate that there isn't one interview where Jodie Foster talks about her role in this film.
If I ever met her, or hopefully if someone interviews her, I would ask her about this movie.
Thank you for uploading this. :)))
Love love love this movie . And an absolutely beautiful song … and when she danced . It’s been decades but can never get tired listening to it . ❤
"if you asked me to choose / between a memory or two / when it's said and done, I'll take the one / whose love I had to lose … is the greatest lyric ever written
Exactly! So Beautiful ! @@surlaroute
Jodi Foster was absolutely brilliant in this movie. A classic that defies the age of time.
Best movie ever see it high school
Someone as intellectual as Jodie Foster to play a carefree, vagabond-esque, daydreamer like Katie to such perfection is absolutely legendary
Love this movie. One of my favorites 😍
Not only Jodie has a surreal beauty but also her voice is very beautiful. She has a contralto voice.
What a Movie! The critics, what a joke! What do they know! This movie touches you and is a gem! the soundtrack, superb! Does everyone catch a very young HELEN HUNT.
I love the scoring of this movie...
Viantz Pradz this is the great David Foster. Look him up he’s still pumping out similar hits just like this under other artists Labels. You will get to recognize his style after hearing his other music.
Jodie Foster is a great actress, this clip makes me feel a bit sad but i don't know why, the music's really nice
There is a sadness in this scene. For some of us (many of us?), it speaks to dreams, small and large, that we gradually realize that will never come true. The gap between what our life is, and what we wanted, or hoped for. And of course, from the movie perspective, the knowledge of what will happen to her.
Iwish i could do that 😍😍 Best movie♥️
Kari: My favorite still and Im 42.
Beautiful
So beautiful... so beautiful...
Love this movie
my grandmother recalled the Diving Horses in the 1920's . She felt the same way about the act as Katie did.
Long live the Eighties!
This was definitely one of the highlights of the movie, Jodie wasn't in it much! The music soundtrack is actually better than the film itself.
Mike: That was rude🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧Its my favorite film and to understand the song youve to see the film.

One Day
This movie is living proof that critics have no clue what they are talking about.
Definitely agree.

Thoughts of suicide consumed her even at this point
