Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) ♡ MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

Fun Fact: the stunt woman for the bee scene was afraid of the bees, so Mary Masterson did the stunt herself.

Neither here nor there… but the fried green tomatoes as an actual food… hit the actual spot 👍🤣

Mary Stuart Masterson who plays Idgie is also in one of my favorite John Hughes movies "Somekind of Wonderful" (1987). You should give it a watch sometime. It also stars Eric Stoltz and Lea Thompson.

I watched this when it came out in the movie theater. It is my all time favorite film right next to THE COLOR PURPLE (1986). I have read both books. I read "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" shorty after seeing the movie. What a title, hunh! I had gotten a lesbian vibe from the characters Idgie & Ruth, so I read the book to see if I was right.😊 Fannie Flagg the author of the book has a cameo in the movie. She was the red headed instructor at the 1st seminar Evelyn & her friend attended. There are some big differences between the movie & the book. Movie- Ruth & Buddy were in love. Book-Ruth & Buddy never met. Movie-Ruth & Idgie lived together raising Buddy Jr. "Stump" for about 8 or 9 yrs. Book-Ruth & Idgie were together for twice as long, & Stump was called Ruth & Idgie's boy(son). The character Ninny was much more defined in the book. In fact, whenever Idgie & Ruth would have a disagreement/fight, Idgie would stay w/her brother & Ninny. That's how I think Ninny knows so much about Ruth & Idgie's relationship. The book also tells u a lot more about Sipsy & her son Big George & their family. I did spend time at an elder facility. Originally, I had gone to one for a volunteer work assignment for college. I ended up staying for longer than my assignment. I worked w/the Recreational Director at the facility. I would spend individual time w/residents, hand out refreshments during recreational time & call out the Bingo letters & numbers. I was saddened that school & work ended up taking me away from them. Stephen King is my favorite author. I'd say I've read about 28 or so of his works. I have several books of his in my bookcase right now that I haven't yet read. My eyes ain't what they used to be, & I sometimes get headaches from eye-strain.😟 The movie SALEM'S LOT is I believe a 2 part miniseries. It's alright based on when the film was made. I'd say it probably has a similar style to the movie CREEP SHOW which is also Stephen King. Did u know that the movies STAND BY ME, SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION & THE GREEN MILE are all movies adapted from Stephen King's stories?😊 Ok, I've talked enough. Just want to say, I really enjoyed your reaction to FRIED GREEN TOMATOES.😊👍

32:18 32:36 "He beat me" is the one thing they could not possibly let the public find out if they wanted Idgie and Big George acquitted. That would establish motive. They'd never be able to convince a jury that Idgie didn't do it.

Batteries Not Included is a cute sci-fi/fantasy movie also starring Jessica Tandy and her real life husband Hume Cronyn. You'd enjoy it.

The 2 main female leads (Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy) both won Best Actress Oscars right before this film (Jessica for DRIVING MISS DAISY (1989) and Kathy for MISERY (1990) the very next year). Not a bad way to follow up for both of them. DRIVING MISS DAISY is worth reacting to IMO (Morgan Freeman is also in this film).

This is my wife’s favorite movie! We started dating when it was released in 91 & one of our dates that year was seeing it in the theater. 33 years later she’s watched this movie hundreds of times. I didn’t know it was based on a book. I’ll definitely get it for her. She & my daughter are avid readers & they love to read books that were made into movies. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I grew up on a farm in Tennessee, and there was a low spot in one of the fields. My grandaddy used to tell me a story (before this movie even came out) about how it used to be a pond, but then some ducks landed on it and it froze...and they flew away with the pond. I always believed that story, and of course he knew I'd realize that it wasn't true one day. But I loved the story and the visual I had of ducks flying away with their legs stuck in a big block of ice. So this movie has a special place for me because of that.

I don't think it would be weird for Idgie to have a crush on her brother at such a young age. Because she was too young to even have a concept of sexuality, so "crushes" are different for young kids. This is more like the Freudian idea of little boys'relationships with their mother and little girls' relationships with their father. I think Mrs. Threadgoode saying she had a crush on Buddy is perfectly fine even if she is his little sister, Idgie. She's just saying she thought he "hung the moon"...she just put him on such a high pedestal of perfection.

Absolutely love this movie! As others have mentioned, "Driving Miss Daisy" is a worthy follow up on Jessica Tandy. ♥

The author, Fannie Flagg, writes such great books! Always set in the American South, really wholesome, so funny, and often with some mysterious twists and surprises. Her characters are fun, interesting and, like they are in FGT, have really great old-fashioned names. 😊

Fannie Flag, who wrote the book, used to be a tv celevrity. She had a great sense of humor.

A book is always so much more engaging to read than watching the movie. Obviously, it gives the reader so much more detail, but it also lets us see more of the character from the inside. That's harder to convey in a movie.

Fun Fact there are two books about Fried Green Tomato at The Whistlestop Cafe and The Wonder Boy of the Whistles Stop. The second book is about the life of Buddy Jr as he grew up and the life he leads.

i spent a lot of time at a nursing home when my mom was in her final months, she had dementia and what connected to her was reading her old fairy tales for children. funny enough i soon ended up not just reading to my mom but to multiple inhabitants. i stopped doing that after my mom died... maybe i should pick that up again... but its kinda weird to go there when you dont have a relative there

I'm so glad you watched this movie. I recommended it when you mentioned a sweet old man at the elder home who told the best stories. I'm glad someone on Patreon requested it. Love your reaction.

Get ready to sit back, relax, and CRY YOUR EYES OUT!!!

In the book Idgie and Ruth are in love. Both actresses wanted to present the story as it was written. However, the studio was afraid of how the movie would be received given the time it was released, so they glossed over the relationship, leaving it up to interpretation instead.

It use to be a custom to stop the grandfather clock in the house after someone passed away too , along with covering mirrors

I think you'll very much enjoy the book. Fannie Flagg is an unknown treasure. Thanks for the sincere review.

There wouldn't be any Wasps near that hive. A Hive that size could stand a Wasp attack with No detriment.

Mary Louise Parker was great in Boys on the Side with Drew Barrymore and Whoopi Goldberg. 1995.

This was one of my mom’s favorite movies along with MRS DOUBTFIRE and OVERBOARD

I have always loved this movie. It is set in the state I live, Georgia, so it was cool to see locations I was familiar with. After the movie was finished filming the people behind the movie agreed to leave all the props behind for the restaurant so it could actually open up as a restaurant. You can still go to the Whistle Stop Cafe to this day to enjoy Fried Green Tomatoes! If you ever visit Georgia I volunteer to take you there :)

The movie set is still standing, in Juliet Georgia 1.5hr south of Atlanta. The whistle stop cafe is an operating restaurant.

Next up- GONE WITH THE WIND (after you read the book)

"Kathy Bates with a sledgehammer..... take care of your ankles!"..😂😅

Salem's Lot is a Great movie! I remember watching it when it first came out in '79. Of Course I've watched it at least a few times since.

Here is one movie on my list. Now she just needs to watch Dances With Wolves, Secondhand Lions, Open Range

There's a few movies I don't really see people reacting to, like Brazil and The Fisher King, where I suppose they get copyright strikes. I guess I thought Fried Green Tomatoes was one of those movies, but I'm pleased to see it here. Just about to start, and really looking forward to it!

One of my favorite movies. So happy to see a reactor choose it👏🏻👍🏻

I’m Not Sure If You Have Seen/Reacted To ‘Driving Miss Daisy’,But It Is Very Similar To ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’.Jessica Tandy & Morgan Freeman Are The Lead Actors & If You Haven’t Seen It,It Is A Really Good Movie.

Good reaction. This is one of my favorite movies. FYI, the Whistle Stop Cafe set became a real cafe with the same name. I visited it in the 90s when I was in Georgia for a week.

Idgie and Ruth were in love with each other ( it's even more clear in the book)

Kathy Bates is also excellent in Titanic -- an epic movie worth watching!

I saw this movie when I was 6 years old. The early scene where Buddy gets killed by the train really traumatised me back then!

I really like your "put your hand on my shoulder" remix song intro! Anytime I watch one of your videos it gets stuck in my head.

This was filmed here in Georgia in a variety of cities. The cafe was in Juliette, if I remember correctly.

2:21 This might not mean much, since I've "only" read five Stephen King novels (and two short story collections), but for what it's worth, Dolores Claiborne is definitely my favourite. I hope you enjoy it!

My uncle would get honey from his hives without a suit too. Unreal. Personally I'm terrified of all flying bugs lol

The accent that you hear is almost all of Southeastern United States.We all , kind of talk like that anyway, down here I think you would probably really enjoy the color of purple.It's also a good book but it's also a great movie color of purple

Filmed A few miles from me, me and friends were all extras in the first scenes at the house when they were young

After you read this book, be sure to get the "sequel" that was written in the last couple of yours by Fannie Flagg, "The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop." It brings the picture even more into focus. Thank you for this reaction - it's one of my favorite movies.

Such an underrated movie! Don't think I've ever seen anyone react to it somehow!

If you love this movie, you definitely need to see steel magnolias!

I didn't know they had Krispy Kream doughnuts in '91. It was Mr Donut or locally run doughnut shops, in my region, back then.

This was wrote by Fanny Flag she also wrote "Crazy in Alabama"

Funny how you say thank God things have changed . I live in the south, things have changed...some, but its still there. It will always be there.

When you said you were ready to relax and watch a comedy 😂😂 i was like. You might be cry though 😂

The first Stephen King book i read was "the stand" back in the 70's. I've rerrad it many times since then. They made a 4 part tv miniseries from it years ago that is still well worth watching. My favorite western was also a tv miniseries, Lonesome Dove. I've read the book countless times too. Salem's Lot was the 2nd SK book i read, i never reread it but i liked it as i did all of his books i read.

And I am the first comment. :). To one of the most intriguing, charming and beautiful reactors on this platform.

yes, a fine movie with a great cast. Can't remember how many times I've watched it over the years but never gets old. Were I worked We would collect Christmas gifts to be delivered to assisted living facilities in the area & I was known to sneak in a pet or two (with permission ;o) to cheer them up.

Nice reaction Kamilla. I love this movie and I am glad you enjoyed. I do believe that in the book the relationship between Ruth and Idgie is revealed to be romantic but I have not read the book. And as you've realized, Mrs Threadgoode is not Idgie.

Delores Claiborne is my favorite Kathy Bates flick, but this comes in as a close second ; ). This is more Idgie's story though.

The Salem's Lot movie is really a TV movie from more than 40 yrs ago and for its time it's actually pretty good and definitely has some scares in it. There's a new movie adaptation coming to HBO Max in October. Good luck on the book, it's one of the best King books I've ever read.

Hey before you watch the pirates of the Caribbean movies with Johnny Dep you should watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so you can see how Johnny deps acting is similar in Pirates of the Caribbean.

The Whistle Stop Cafe is in Irondale Alabama, ifs its still open, went there about 15 years ago. Fannie Flagg the author is from close to there and she used to co-host the Candid Camera show in the 70s with Alan Funt, you can see those episode on youtube, she had a bit part in th9s movie, some instructor. P.S. books are usually better than the movies, Papillion is like my fav. book, the movie was very good, but it can not touch the book.

Looking forward to your reaction. One of my favorite movies!! ❤❤ I love your shirt! That colors beautiful with your skintone. 😊

I'm not a Stephen King fan but "Salem's Lot" is a first rate horror thriller!

I only just thought of this yesterday and didn't tell anyone. My phone can read my mind.

You knowing these ladies brings joybto my heart

Also all of us who've read the book hate that the film implied at the end that Ninny was Idgie ( she's not, and also it was made fairly clear in the film she's not so it's contradicted itself!) The book is excellent. Fannie Flagg is a lesbian and all her books are low-key gay, and very sweet, while still looking at social issues.

If I want to talk to elderly people, all I have to do is go to Walmart. One will usually stop me to talk every once in a while. A few months ago, a guy named Ron stopped me and we talked for about an hour. He told me he was retired from U.S. Steel and he hit me with a bunch of trivia questions about Alabama football. We talked about a bunch of other stuff too. Not the first time that happened.👍

You are easily the best reactor on RU-vid Kamilla. Your fan base will keep growing ❤

Love this movie! Thanks for sharing it. Yes, read the book, it's wonderful. Fannie Flagg wrote several good books. Oooo, Salem's Lot is scary, LOL!

Who told you the first Salems Lot movie was no good? Thats one community I'd never pay attention to. Maybe they meant the second one? And the new Salems Lot will be released next month. Yes, thats THREE versions of Salems Lot that you can watch. (The 70s version was highly regarded)

Thank You!

thanks for reaction

enjoyed your reaction 👍☺

I am sorry the copyright made you cut out 8 more minutes, but it is out and it is good 😊 more to follow. I'm happy you wanna dive deeper into it and read about it. Speaking of books, on your own time, please rewatch "Like Water for Chocolate" when you have time to cause it is based on a best selling book. 😉

Lol, that intro music was so sudden and loud my cat made a 6 feet jump from the couch from getting scared 🤣🙀

You sould see a Home of our own Based on a true story 1993 staring Kathy Bates.

@Centane- I have to say a movie you'd really like is the Joy Luck Club. It will warm your heart in a very similar manner. All the best, M-

Early King was great…newer stuff not so much IMO Delores Clairborne is a great book…he employs an unusual writing style. The film adaptation was pretty decent too. This one is fun to watch w/ a great cast.

Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

I hope they warned you about how much you are going to cry.

Stephen King books to movie I love: Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

Hello Centane, I've found that if I see the movie first then read the book and if the book is better. It is like getting a second story. I like that. If I read the book first I tend to pick apart the movie if it does not closely follow the book. The Lord of the Rings and BlackHawk Down for in.stance. Blackhawk Down was historical. Telling the story with the participants in their actual locations doing their own deeds would have made it a better movie. Curse those producers.

I think this is more drama than comedy but yeah haha

I guess you didnt catch rhat the BBQ was eaten by the lawman. Was Frank. Yup. Frank was that delicious BBQ Thas what he was cooking in that boiling pot out back of the diner

Tuwandaaaaaa

❤️ed your reaction! Looking forward to your reading Dolores Claiborne so you can then react to the movie which is tremendous.

Yeah I was the very first to see this reaction. “Uploaded 23 seconds ago”. :). Yay me.

Who told her that this is a comedy??

She wanted a wholesome, feel-good movie and got murder and cannibalism😂 Sorry about that.

💗Please react to Steel Magnolias 1989 -Thanks!

Can U do a Movie Reaction to Talladega Nights?

You should always watch the movie before the book. Books are always better and if you watch the movie after you will be disappointed in it.

Please react to Superman Man Of Steel 2013

You are beautiful and I love your reactions. Keep being awesome.

Centane, I saw this in the theater with my wife when it came out. Everyone overlooks a line, from "Ninny" to Evelyn, at the beginning: "I was practically ADOPTED by the Threadgoode family." ...For us, Ninny was and always will be Idgie. For this movie, not the book (which I've read). Think about it....All those intimate moments between Ruth and Idgie when they're alone. ...There's no "Ninny" around in any flashback. After Ruth died, later on in life, there'd have been no medical reason for Idgie not to marry Cleo, if they were in love. That note left on the grave at the end? Fresh as a daisy. Hasn't been sitting outside for long. The old woman knows far too much; ....She's truly telling her own story.

🤧

First!

You should watch, Arachnophobia 1990. That one is also good

Barf!

I'm sorry, but your cuts are terrible. You insert lines that make no sense without the scene that came before, or the scene that follows. I understand that you have to slice and dice to avoid copyright strikes, but you rendered this great movie almost incomprehensible for anyone who hasn't already seen it many times, as I have...

You think a movie about cannibalism is wholesome?
