Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (7/8) Movie CLIP - You Don't Own Me (1967) HD 

There’s a big difference between appreciating everything your parents have done for you and feeling indebted to them to the point of letting them dictate how you live your life, even if it makes you miserable. This film is almost 60 years old and sadly so many younger people still struggle with this.

That was some real talk. This is my favorite scene in the entire film.

"I owe you nothing... b/c you brought me into this world and from that day you owed me everything you could ever do for me... but you don't own me". These words are literally the story of my life. Needless to say even as an adult my parents still don't get it and I doubt they ever will.

This scene was a revelation to me. Made me realise I wasn’t bound in eternal gratitude to my parents, that I was not in their debt and I was free to live my life however I want whether they liked it or not.

Can it really be 50 years? This film has withstood the test of time.

Some scenes never quite get old. Rest in power, Sidney Poitier.

"Let me tell you something. I owe you nothing......You did what you were supposed to do!" Such powerful words from a son to a Patriarch.

“You and your whole lousy generation believes that the way it was is the way it’s got to be!” Spitting straight facts right there

“Dad you see yourself as a colored man, I see myself as a man.” Best line in the whole movie ever ❤️

there aren't many epic scenes in movies but that one certainly qualifies

You see yourself as a "colored man", I see myself as a man.

Still to this day no matter how many times I've seen this movie, this is the scene that always brings tears to my eyes. Such an incredible moment of this film and so well done by the great Mr. Sidney Poitier.

R.I.P. Mr. Poitier 1927-2022, a great gentleman on and off the screen.

Sidney was SUPERB in this scene. The tone of the voice was perfect! He was angry, rebel, but also calm in the end, all in a few seconds! Amazing

"You've got to get off my BACK!". At 1:24 when he turns and looks at his father....it is acting brilliance.

I started crying when he turned back at his father and smiled at him to say he has always loved him despite their differences And by the way "You think of yourself as a colored man, I think of myself as a man"...wow, this is powerful Rest in Peace Sidney Poitier

Many parents could learn from this speech.

Love this movie. I’m an older woman now.....but back in the 60’s....I kinda went thru something like this....with my family. Long story short: I was 19 and in love. Family (and I can truly say that my mother and father never showed and prejudice...ever. My mom worked with 3 fantastic African American woman and she adored them..and they adored her. An African American family (a family who lived nearby (when I was just a child) and my grandparents and my parents were friends with them. The y moved away, but the grown sons would come over to visit my mom if they were in the area. I truly, deeply cared about a young African American guy who was stationed at a nearby army base. I never saw color...I just saw him. Sweet, funny, kind and my first love. I was young...he had to leave for Vietnam Nam. I cried a lot.. we wrote each other every day and the people around me kept trying to tell me how difficult life would be for us. Every day,..he was gone and I missed him terribly. 😢. We saw each other one more time 2 years later. I met someone else back here and I think he kinda met someone too. But when we saw each other...that same feeling surfaced. That warm, happy feeling called ‘love’. I’m gonna be 72 in two months and I still think about him...and what could have been. Now....the commercials are interracial, interracial dating, it’s finally accepted, I think....and that’s so great. It’s just love. What the hell? 🤷🏼‍♀️. I guess Jack and I met during the wrong time. It amazes me how different it was back in 1967/1968. Stupid, stupid people. Anyway...I’ve seen this movie about 10 times and I love it. My favorite scene is when Katherine Hepburn tells her snooty employee off. Love that scene!👍😊

RIP Roy Glenn (June 3, 1914 - March 12, 1971), aged 56 And RIP Sidney Poitier (February 20, 1927 - January 6, 2022), aged 94 You both will always be remembered as legends.

One of the best scenes from any movie ever

Saw this movie last night and this scene is the best one! Not only race is addressed here but also parents rights, who often assume that own sons and these have to be at their service, contributing as a duty because parents gave them life.

Probably one of the best movies of all times... Simply love it!

An absolute legend of an actor.

Poitier was incredible.

That was one of the best pieces of dialog between a Father and Son in a movie. I commend the Writer and Mr. Poitier for a very powerful piece.

I just recently saw this film didn't catch the beginning... I immediately fell in love with this movie. So now I'm gonna get this movie on Amazon. Such a breathless scene.

No doubt. One of the best scenes in cinema history. And he was such a monumental actor. RIP

brilliant scene.

It is not as though that this film doesn't have a lot of brilliance in it. What one owes ones parents and what one doesn't. Such a difficult question so wonderfully described.

The last 15 minutes of this film is some of the best 15 minutes of dialogue in any movie

This is the most powerful scene in the movie...and so real, then and now! R.I.P., sir and thank you!

Sheer brilliance! Unadulterated Brilliance! I get goosebumps when I see this scene. He was coming from a place he'd been before and it translated into a Powerhouse scene!! He walked a fine line of respect and defiance flawlessly!! Well done sir, well done!

'I owe you nothing' ... so true, I don't think my parents would understand that (they are older folks) but I know my kids owe me nothing, if they turn out to be appreciative and respect me I will be the happiest man, but if they chose to live their lives the way they want it I'll be fine with that

A remarkable man, may he Rest In Peace and Power.

What a powerful scene, full of universal truths. Bravo, Sidney Poitier. Thank you for blessing us with your talent and class. Through the masterpieces you left behind, you will live forever.

Sidney Poitier, such a powerful actor.

That scene was so powerful. What a great human being and actor Sydney Poitier was. R.I.P.

Some people have expressed an opinion that John was being way too rude to his father here, but personally, I think he deserves a standing ovation for saying what needed to be said. John Sr. was being at least as rude to him, and he shouldn't have had to grin and bear that. The problem with so many parents is that they expect their children to treat respecting them like some kind of religious thing which they must never take a break from or heaven forgive them. But you can't just keep getting in your child's face and berating them for every little thing they do that you don't approve of, and expect them to remain polite to you 100% of the time. That's like expecting to be able to have your cake and eat it too. And there's nothing incorrect about what John is saying. There's nothing his parents did for him that wasn't part of the job. After all, to paraphrase something Aladdin once said, "you want to be a parent, you got it, and everything that goes with it".

RIP, Sidney Poitier. Thanks for all the great work.

This scene was so brilliantly done. The best part was when Sydney turned around at 1:18 to 'reset' and then the entire mood of the speech changed. He went from talking to her father like his own person, like a man, to talking to him like a son, and still like a man. What a movie for its time, and it's such a shame that others still haven't seem to get out of this mindset that anything other than the color white is 'bad.' It won't change until everyone older than 45 is dead and gone.

My parents would never buy most of what he just said...

One of my favorite scenes in the movie. Sidney at his best. Also, did anyone notice that Roy Glenn, who played his father, was also Willie Harris, the thief who ran off with the inheritance money in A Raisin In The Sun? And Beah Richards who played his mother also played the would be abortionist in In The Heat Of The Night.

This was the clip I was looking for - but I wish it began a little sooner, with the father's sentiments as well.

Fifty years--and this just gets better with age, like fine wine.

Sheer poetry, one of the best movies ever made, way ahead of its time and whose message transcends generations and is topical today, over 50 years later, with the same vigour as it was when it was first released. Sidney Poitier, incredible actor, as the rest of the cast, simply legendary. I'm 25 but, damn, I do love these classics! Way better than today's stuff, there's no match!!! 💯

Ciao Sidney

Every single person in the USA should sit down and watch this film and especially this scene.

Sidney Poitier is such a versatile actor...👍👍👍and what an inspiration

When ever sydney poitier says "now you listen to me" you better listen cuz hes preparing to speak some severe facts

This is literally me & my dad (except the whole interracial marriage issue part)

This scene always brings tears to my eyes

One of the greatest scenes in the history of movie making! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The writing in this film is soooo incredibly rich!! And you'd NEVER be able to get away with dialogue like this today! That's why this is such a classic!

This is easily one of my top five scenes in movie history, and it could be the all time most timeless. It’s amazing to me that baby boomers were young when this movie was released, and were its target audience, and yet they themselves, for the most part, have become the dad in this scene. It begs the question- will there ever be a generation of parents equiped to understand the ideas presented here?

Still so friggin relevant

0:22 The best scene and this blowed my mind....

I love his words to his father.

This is the realest, most cathartic thing I’ve ever seen.

Rest in Peace, Sidney.

Makes me cry evertime i see it.

Brilliant! and such a true words!!!

When the music starts, tears drop. RIP.

Sidney Poitier such an amazing actor! This is my favorite scene from the movie!!! The truth in these words man! I don’t owe my parents anything!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

oh - the power of words and listening - some parents would be quick to shut down their child but in this case he listened and thats just as important as the words ... and in the end there are the words "i love you" my mother is just learning to listen a little better - my now x hardly ever listens ... great scene

First viewing of this film, I cried multiple times especially during this scene. Second time, I still do.

Gahdamn that speech was savage af 😬

Watched this today, as the turkey was cooking. We all loved it.

that was the best scene and quote.

This scene is just amazing.

RIP Sidney Poitier This is why I became a #1 fan Betty While now Sidney

The best thing in this movie. Many parents are acting like that

The words in this movie are so powerful.

RIP :(

I really miss Sir Sidney Poitier, he's been a constant in my life since I found out about him. 💔🕊️ RestInPeace... 😘

RIP Mr. Poitier

This is the best speech I have seen in a movie !

RIP Sydney Poitier (1927-2022)

Great Bahamian actor Sidney Poitier, one of my favorite actors along with Burt Lancaster.

RIP

What great writing

I never seen this movie, but this Scene right here was real and this was great acting Rest in peace Sidney Poitier you will be missed by fast and enjoyed your movies.

Oh this scene helps me in so many ways. My mom is like his father, stuck in the past.

Even as a child, I loved Sidney as an actor. His acting is totally compelling

Still one of my favorite scenes

Fabulous acting from Sidney Poitier! Very fine writing too, of course. In the same year Poitier also starred in "To Sir, with Love" and "In the Heat of the Night". Tremendous roles, all of them nailed by Poitier. And he was not even nominated for that lousy statuette - whatever its was. Talk about overrated awards!

Farewell Mr. Poitier, Teacher, and a Thank you so much for teaching someone to think of themselves simply as a man.

And now another great one of this great era has passed away...😭

My parents would never comprehend this.

This really is a awesome scene by sidney poitier.

The Father, Roy Glenn NAILED this scene. 🎥

Wow I just love that scene.

RIP.

Damn i tear up a little when he turns to his father to still assure him, that he will always love him.

RIP Sidney....a light goes out in Hollywood and in Cinema.

R.I.Peace, Sidney Poitier 💔

Timeless. I'm sending it to my Mom now

One of my favorite scenes.. this one plus the scene where Kathrine fires Hilary..

RIP Sidney Poitier!

that was powerful..:)

Beautiful...
