Hugo would be Cassie's favorite among the list.

2025-07-19 13:03:52 +0000 UTCThe Spruce Goose only flew once and now sits in a Museum Smithsonian I believe. It kinda says it all a Plane Larger then Life and his Life Story and Dreams. Plane is so huge it's ridiculous why it couldn't achieve what he intended. Worth checking out.

2025-07-19 10:29:42 +0000 UTCSome solid Scorsese films left to see on the channel: Casino, Hugo, Public Speaking, Kundun, The Wolf of Wallstreet. Hugo could be a fun one for the channel, considering its a story that is essentially about the love of film itself. Probably his most family-friendly movie. And highest budget.

2025-07-19 03:57:18 +0000 UTCMy personal favorite scene in this film is Hughes telling the wealthy family that they don't think about money because they have always had it. It's a frustrating situation to be in and I can't help but fantasize about being able to deliver such a confident retort.

2025-07-18 18:11:04 +0000 UTCHughes suffered from serious mental health issues which today we would call OCD. This is not the casual use of the term that someone might use to explain why they like to keep their shoes neatly aligned. This is the medical term, where the person experiences a degraded quality of life as a result of their compulsions. The film makes this a big part of his character. He can't pass a towel to a man in the bathroom because he is afraid of contamination from touching it. He can't finish his meal when someone (rudely) touches his plate. Eventually he can't leave a single room for months at a time. This disability is considered the tragedy of Hughes life story by many people.

2025-07-18 18:05:15 +0000 UTCFascinated with her. Did you get to spend any time with her growing up?

2025-07-18 17:44:41 +0000 UTCDiCaprio should have won an Oscar for his performance as Howard Hughes

2025-07-18 15:55:28 +0000 UTCAnd The Philadelphia Story!

2025-07-18 12:29:11 +0000 UTCYou really should watch a couple more Katherine Hepburn movies. If you haven’t. Should watch “Guess who’s coming to dinner” several great performances in that.

2025-07-18 11:48:02 +0000 UTCA Cate Blanchett movie I suggest is ELIZABETH: "Elizabeth" (1998). Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actress (Cate Blanchett). Cate Blanchett is stunning. Oscar Best Picture nominees that year: --"Elizabeth" (1998). --"The Thin Red Line" (1998) (awesome WWII movie). --"Shakespeare in Love" (1998) (won). Like this movie + your reaction. --"Saving Private Ryan" (1998). My Best Picture that year. Profound. --"Life is Beautiful" (1998).

2025-07-18 05:07:36 +0000 UTCGood one. Good score by Thomas Newman.

2025-07-18 05:06:31 +0000 UTCA Leonardo DiCaprio film I suggest is REVOLUTIONARY ROAD: “Revolutionary Road” (2008) (romantic drama). Setting: mid-1950s suburban America. Based on 1961 novel. Powerful movie. Nom 3 Oscars. Kate Winslet won Golden Globe for Best Actress. Golden Globe nominations: Best Picture, Best Actor (DiCaprio), Best Director. Directed by Sam Mendes who also directed 1917 (2019), American Beauty (1999), Skyfall (2012), Road to Perdition (2002).

2025-07-18 04:50:16 +0000 UTCWow. Lots of criticism for Leo and the Hughes story. Having had a lifetime career in aviation, I choose to honor and respect the research and advancements he brought to aviation. It seems like some of the greatest advancements in technology always involve controversial figures.

2025-07-18 01:23:29 +0000 UTCSpeaking of Katherine Hepburn... On Golden Pond.. you'd love it.

2025-07-18 01:03:04 +0000 UTCThe youngest one looks really familiar.
Chris Thom
2025-07-17 23:51:48 +0000 UTCI do always see Leo DeCaprio the movie star in his parts, but I always accept what he's trying to portray. I tend to enjoy whatever he's doing onscreen. The Beach might make for a good reaction here.
Chris Thom
2025-07-17 23:43:20 +0000 UTC"and a fascist ..." The real definition or the modern delusional one? Also, do you have a source? I don't see anything even hinting at fascism. All I see is some racism.
Mike Lemon
2025-07-17 22:55:05 +0000 UTCThe singers in the club scenes as they go through time are all from the same family. You have Rufus Wainwright Martha Wainwright and Loudon Wainwright.

2025-07-17 22:30:38 +0000 UTCHughes was a POS, and a fascist psycho.
Trevor Rotan
2025-07-17 22:18:21 +0000 UTCI know Cassie will hate me for this, but I don't get the love for DeCaprio--never have. Compared to actors like Johnny Depp or Val Kilmer, he just strikes me as average. I've never seen DeCaprio do any movie where I wasn't painfully clear it was Leonardo DeCaprio trying to act. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

2025-07-17 20:59:12 +0000 UTCAlways good to see a story about another Nutmegger. Katherine Hepburn's father was a Dr. at Hartford Hospital. She and the family spent a lot of time on the coast in Old Saybrook. She barely escaped with her life in the 1938 hurricane. It came upon New England as a bit of a surprise. No weather satellites in 1938. She said she escaped out the back window of the house before the storm swept the house away. Today there is a performing arts space in Old Saybrook in her honor. https://www.thekate.org/

2025-07-17 20:57:18 +0000 UTCI just choose to believe her. Lol. It's nice.

2025-07-17 20:50:29 +0000 UTCGreat reaction. Thank you for doing this one. Perfect vid to leave us on before vacation. Lots to chew on.

2025-07-17 20:49:27 +0000 UTC"pseudo" yes. It's quite different.
Hooray for Everything
2025-07-17 20:28:39 +0000 UTCAl Pacino Scarface is a pseudo remake of the 1932 film Scarface.
Robert Jewell
2025-07-17 20:22:45 +0000 UTCOne thing about the Hughes legacy that gets missed sometimes is that he created the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. It might have been a tax avoidance scheme at the time but has become one of if not the leading medical research charities in the world. They have multiple noble laureates in their catalog and today donate hundreds of millions of dollars to medical research every year.
Jim Sarbinoff
2025-07-17 20:14:29 +0000 UTCDear Cassie, you should also now DEFINITELY WATCH - MELVIN AND HOWARD (1980) also based on a true story regarding Hughes. It won I think 3 Oscars and was directed by Jonathan Femme.

2025-07-17 20:11:26 +0000 UTC"You guys look great tonight!" Me in my pajamas pants and an old stained tshirt while waiting for laundry to finish and eating nachos. "Um...Thanks." 😆

2025-07-17 18:45:45 +0000 UTCThere is absolutely nothing that Blanchett can't! :-)
Happy Hanukkah
2025-07-17 18:00:59 +0000 UTCAgree that Cate Blanchett did excellent portraying Katharine Hepburn. A highlight of the movie.
Clay F
2025-07-17 17:57:12 +0000 UTCIs this like Air (2023), with channel favorite Tom Cruise in the Michael Jordan role? :-P

Hooray for Everything
2025-07-17 17:13:33 +0000 UTCCate did a fantastic job portraying my cousin Kate.
Robert Jewell
2025-07-17 15:42:10 +0000 UTCIt is so silly the copyright situation with YouTube reactors because you only increase interest in old movies and new movies. Movie Studios should be sponsoring you. Even Tom Cruise enjoyed your channel.
