STEEL MAGNOLIAS Filming Locations THEN & NOW | Natchitoches 

My wife and I bought Shelby and Jackson’s house, the cypress home with the blue shutters, in 2016. We absolutely love it and love living in Natchitoches……it’s a true gem of a city with simply great people. Thank you for posting this video!

I was one of Shelby’s cousin bridesmaids and did a bit of stand in work for Shirley McLaine. Second on the right up at the alter…lol… This brought back many fond memories. Seems like only yesterday. Thanks, Jordan!

The preacher who married Shelby and Jackson is the author of Steel Magnolias. The hospital, staff and even the room she passes away in are all the actual places and people that took care of Susan, the authors sister Shelby is based on, when she died.

I've had people give me a hard time because I'm a guy who loves this movie but I don't care. This was such a good movie and you couldn't ask for a better cast. You have given me another place I need to add to my bucket list. Your videos are always very informative and entertaining.

I watched this movie many times, it just never gets old. And you remembered every joke so it was like watching it all over again. Thanks so much for taking on this trip with you. I've really enjoyed it.

My husband and I stayed at the Steel Magnolia house this past December. It was awesome. We went to all the filming locations too!

Such a beautiful home!!!! ONE MOVIE EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE

Interesting that they filmed, not just the exterior shots, but also the interior scenes inside the houses too, rather than on a soundstage elsewhere.

This movie is an absolute classic. Drama. Humor. Dolly. Heartbreak. It touches all the feelings so well.

Shirley McClain aka Louisa she played her character so well in this movie. These locations are amazing Jordan love the movie and the storyline. Thanks for the giggles 😃 have a wonderful day everyone 💛 .

Oh my Steel Magnolias is one of my favorite movies, I have never laughed or cried so much about a movie. So many great quips. Thank you for sharing this.

THANKS FOR SHOWING USE THESE CLASSIC MOVIE LOCATIONS....Steele Magnolias is one of my all time favorites!!

My husband and I are big fans of the movie and stayed at The Steel Magnolia house for our anniversary last June. We were lucky enough to book Shelby’s room. They even have a copy of the movie so you can watch it in the room where they played cards before Shelby’s surgery. The owners and staff are very nice and great host! We visited all the filming locations and even acted out the groom’s cake scene with red velvet cake with grey icing in the garage.😂. The town is beautiful and everyone we encountered were very friendly.

I also love this movie. Fun fact. My brother got married in Louisiana in the early 1990’s and they had props from the movie as decorations. I guess you could rent them. I know there was a gazebo and other things from the wedding scene in the movie. It was something my sister in law was excited about. They no longer live in Louisiana. But it was really really amazing as I remember it. This would have been the very early 1990’s. Cheers and keep up the good work.

One the best ensembles ever in film! So funny and sad at the same time...The house is beautiful🌹🥀❤🤗Thanks Jordan!(now I have to watch it again, it's been a while!)

So cool how they left the house the same. It's disappointing when famous movie homes are not kept up or they get torn down. I really enjoyed that movie. Thanks Jordan for the tour I never knew this existed.

💋This vlog made me so happy! I love this movie!!! It touches my little southern heart. Watched it as a kid and appreciated it even more when I watched it as an adult. Fantastic cast and It has Dolly in it so that makes it worth the watch regardless! Thanks Jordan. ~Love&Light♥️Carli Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️🍀

This is one of my favorite movies, I can't tell you how many times i've seen it. This was awesome, thank you Jordan!

Really enjoyed the Steel Magnolias vlog. Makes me want to watch the movie again.

I had forgotten what a good movie this is. You brought it back to life for me. I will have to watch it again. Thank you Jordan. It's obvious you love what you are doing. Your uplifting spirit always adds to my day. You are a blessing for me. So sappy I know. Thanks.

One of my favorite movies, Jordan! It came about the time I lost my Son, so I hadn't heard of it, and knew anything about it. I think it was 6 months, maybe a year later a friend invited some of us girl over to watch a movie. She took me aside & said I hear it's pretty sad, will you be ok? I was a never cry Infront of others, always alone. Let me tell you when they got to the scene with Sally Field in the cemetery...oh my gosh, my dam broke. It was a good thing, I had so many emotions I kept on pushing down, I needed a good cry!!! You did a terrific job, Jordan, I loved when you chuckle in all the right places!!! Thank you so much!!! 🌼

loved the movie, been awhile , but will see it again and again. love the face wreath on the front door of the house Shelby lived. it's disappointing a lot of the churches today are locked cause of vandalisum or other ( no repect ). I'd like to go to church and just sit in peacefulness. like the homes beautiful and they have character. it's amazing when this movie got made and the way things look now so differently. another great vlog Jordan. stay safe !!

Loved this one. It was great to see the houses haven’t changed or where they filmed. Nice work!

Hi Jordan - I love this movie. Chock full of so many killer lines! I played Shelby in a dinner theatre production of it. I would do it again a hundred times more. Every character is priceless. I would love to play every part. Whenever I see the color pink I think to myself "It's not pink, it's blush and bashful". So thrilled you got to video this. One of my favorite lines in the show is "Too twisted for color TV". Thank you sooo much Jordan. I really needed a pick me up today. I know what I'm going to watch tonight when I get home. Thank you, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

I LOVE this movie and still watch it over and over. Just about have the entire script memorized, lol

I dont know why I had NEVER seen this video on ur channel before, BUT... I truly thank you for making it!! This is one of my most favorite of all movies!! The writing in this movie was fantastic & the cast was absolutely amazing..... This movie is one of those movies that you can watch over and over again and NEVER get bored, and still laugh & cry at ALL the same parts in the movies!!! **But, This movie is one of the greatest movies ever made!!!💜

Such a Great Movie, I Still cry no matter How many times I've seen it. Probably a Million times 💜. Thank You Jordan for this Great Vlog.♥️. YOU. MAKE LIFE. SO MUCH BETTER.😁💜. You make me Laugh, Smile on and Just Happy when I watch you're vlogs because you're SO AWESOME 😁. Stay Safe Jordan and Jah.♥️💜

Rip Olympia Dukakis. ❤️ 👼

I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane! Thanks Jordan!

This is one of my favorite movies of all time! I can pretty much go word for word and line for line for the whole movie! Yeah, I have watched it many, many times, and probably more times to come! Love Sally Field.....all of the actors. Shirley, Daryl, Tom, Dolly, Julia, etc!

A truly wonderful movie, that takes viewers on a run of their emotions. From laughter to tugging on our hearts. Really enjoyed seeing the filming locations, the homes Church Cemetery. Great job on the Vlog!!

Wow ! Soo much in detail. Thank you 🙏 I have seen this movie 3-4 times, one of my favourites. Nostalgia 😊 Regards from India 🇮🇳

Absolutely love this movie! This is great footage, I am so fascinated that just about every place that was filmed is exactly the same after all these years. You did an excellent job capturing this, I really enjoyed it.❤

I’ve watched this movie countless times. Such a great cast. The end gets me every time though 😭

I wasn't aware that they used interiors of the houses. I remember the anticipation of this film being released that when a sneak preview was announced at a theater downtown I actually took a taxi to see it. I think that was the movie where I first Ugly Cried in public. I think I've watched it almost every Thanksgiving since. I was correcting your misquote's out loud by the way. Lol!. This is definitely one of my favorite Vlog's of yours. 👍👍

This is a great movie and you did a great job of reminding us of all the fabulous dialogue!

Steel Magnolia's one of my favorite movies with Sally Field, Dolly P., Shirley McLaine, Dukakis, the names just go on! A wonderful warm and sad movie. Nice area to shoot the scenes. Love the trees in the park area.

What a great movie!! Love how you are enthusiastic and explain everything so well! This is such a great road trip!! Thank you!

This is a very beautiful movie. Great locations and characters.

Thank you so much for making this video. This was one of my mother's favorite films before she passed away. I have so many fond memories of this film. Blessed Be :)

Love this movie! Even after all these years the movie makes me cry then laugh within the same scene. Thank you for another great video. :)

I would love to cook in that kitchen. That house feels so warm and wholesome. I love this movie.

Very interesting visit, thank you for taking us all a long with you. Love this movie!♥️👏👏👏👏

I’ve realized often that many of the places that Jordan Vlogs are of Great interest BUT most likely I’d never go out of my way to see yet end up completely enjoying through his eyes. Always educational as well. Does his homework to better paint us the picture. This channel is very enjoyable and much appreciated.

THANK YOU!!! I watch this film once a month, I love you doing this and this is on my bucket list to see, again thank you!!!

My 2nd favorite movie of all time . Thanks for a fun video Jordan! Omg you are killing with the play by play from the movie. Love it and you!

This is one of my favorite movies. And my favorite scene was the one with Weezer and Clarice sitting on that bench. The line that Clarice says is you know Weezer I love you more then my luggage

I love this movie! Thank you kindly for doing this, buddy!

Some real powerful moments in this film, with great actors. Sally, Dolly so much respect.

This was so enjoyable. Loved your excitement throughout. Gotta watch this again. Thank you Jordan. Safe travels.

I've directed Steel Magnolias four times for the stage. The film is awesome. Thank you for this Jordan!😍

This is one of those movies that is magical enough to make you feel every emotion right along with the characters. I laughed, cried, worried and as a mother who's experienced the loss of a child, felt EVERY word of Malins breakdown at the cemetery. This movie is timeless. Thank you Jordan for doing this one! It touched my feel goods ❤

I've watched Steel Magnolia's a few times ITS an amazing movie with Awesome Cast! I sincerely appreciate Your Total recall of the lines from the movie and All the real places that were used It was nice to learn the Houses and places ARE There and not in a sound stage. Thanks so much for Giving Us All the information. Great Work! Stay Safe God Bless I hope your Family is Doing Well. from Tammy in PA

This was one of my favorite vlogs! Thank you Jordan!

Greatest video ever thank you so so much! I have seen that move so meany times,but you had that script down pat! Thank you very much

I watched this several times Jordan. It's time to watch again. Thank you.......Love ya Jah. :)

I love this movie it’s one of those movies you can watch again and again

Awesome video Jordan! Couldn't hit like fast enough! Thank you for doing this one!

Just saw this & oh what fun. Loved the movie, was thrilled to see the actual places that where in the movie. Thank you for this vedio.

I’ve watched your vlogs for several years, and now this will always be my favorite one. ❤️ I’ve been visiting Natchitoches since the late 70’s. I have family near there. My aunt and some cousins work just over the bridge you see at the end of the movie. That’s probably one of the reasons this movie is my favorite. I remember things like my aunt telling me that Jackson’s dad, in the movie, was the town sheriff. Other movies have also been filmed in or around Natchitoches. One time, while visiting, my uncle came home and said he’d been held up at a road block, due to the fact they were filming a scene for a movie. Turned out it was The Man In The Moon, with Reece Witherspoon. I believe some scenes for a John Wayne movie were filmed near there sometime in the 50’s. I always recommend people to visit Natchitoches. It’s an awesome town, which totally comes through in Steel Magnolia’s. For me, it has relatable characters and the best lines. Sally Field’s cemetery scene, is one of best in cinematic history, in my opinion. I love your enthusiasm in this vlog. It’s great to hear a males perspective. This film embodies family and friends, and comes full circle with all the seasons. When you get my age, the special occasions, shared with loved ones, is what we love most. My son is getting married in two weeks, and although they are having a pie bar, instead of a wedding cake, I guarantee you, before the night is over, I will quoting, there’s “nothing like a good piece of a$$.” To my husband, of course. 😁 Thanks Jordan. You made this southern woman’s day.

My sisters and I absolutely loved this movie. Any time we got together, a quote (or two) from the movie would be brought up in fun. Between the four of us, we had every line in the movie memorized. It was a great movie with really funny lines. Every time we were together, we watched it. Each of us had a copy of the movie. We must have watched it at least 50 times. Then, my seven year old daughter developed type-one diabetes and I never watched the movie again. That was thirty years ago. And I can still remember most of the lines from the movie and who said what. It just isn't that funny to me anymore.

Mr JORDAN , congrats for your very great work .

I’ve been dying for this video as I adore this film. Weeper has some if the best lines ever in this move. What an All Star cast, too.

Thank you so much, Jordan, for visiting this area and showing us the locations used in 'Steel Magnolias.' It's one of my all-time favourite movies. I remember seeing it at least a dozen times when if was still in the cinemas and then I went to see it again when the independent cinema in my city replayed it in Fall 2019 for its 30th anniversary. One of the reasons I liked it so much was because of could identify with the Ouiser character played by Shirley MacLaine. And I'm also a huge Dolly Parton fan and loved Olympia Dukakis and Julia Roberts and Ann Wedgeworth (who played Aunt Vern and also Lana, who was after Jack for a few episodes of 'Three’s Company' in Season 5. Lke you, I know a lot of the script by heart. So, again, thank you for visiting Louisiana. This just may be my favourite of your hundreds of vlogs! Keep up the great work!!

This was so fun to see being from England I’d never get to visit the locations. Your narration was on point too! This is one of mine and my Mums favourite films. We always watch it at Easter. I think we always view it as an Easter movie, because Easter bookends the film. Thanks so much for sharing

Oh my gosh.....!! I love that movie. It will always be one of my favorites. 🥰 I'm so glad you did a filming location on this Jordan. I don't think I've ever laughed and cried so much in any other movie like this one. I missed your video the other day. I was in the hospital. I had a heart attack last Tuesday night.

Love this movie. Thank you for this.

Found this classic movie TODAY. in tears still. Was so moving & found this moments after. Have ENJOYED this & your commentary soooooo much. Made the heart smile. Literally 🙋🏻‍♀️🤍

Love it!!!! Thank you for doing one of my favorite movies ❤️

One of my fave movies of all time . Sadly we lost olympia dukakis .

I've always found it odd that the people in the pews at the church (wedding scene) DON'T stand up when the bride is coming down the aisle. The audience standing for the bride is something that I've seen literally every single time at a wedding, in person, movies, TV, you name it... I've never understood why they don't stand in "Steel Magnolias".

For an obscure bit of trivia, the actor who played Owen Jenkins, was Bill McCutcheon who appeared as Dropo in the cult classic film Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

Dude! You did an excellent job! I really enjoyed the commentary.

That’s awesome Jordan!! 🤩 Even tho you weren’t able to get into the house, this was a great video… thanks for doing what you do. Stay safe bro 😎🙏🏼 -Paul

“Steel Magnolia” is a great descriptive of a strong yet lovely flower that a woman can be. This movie was, and is a great tribute to Women, -the endless nuances of our sex,,,varieties, hang-ups, and strengths. I think it’s one of the best ensemble casts ever put together! 🌺 🌸 That town was a most lovely setting when all green and in bloom. I love a river town, too.

Omg! Jordan this is one of my most favorite movie's! It was almost like watching the movie again. I went to the movie's when it came out. You did a great job on all the locations. I have seen this many times and l want to watch it again now! Ty so much for doing this! Take care❤

My all time favorite movie! The houses and properties still look fairly well ❤️😁 and I love your excitement and enthusiasm over this blog it’s great 😁 👍 Great Vlog 👏🏻🎉 Thank you for sharing!!

I think i be watching this movie it's been awhile since i seen it and thank you Jordan for all you do.

This is so awesome! I love that is guy knows the lines of the movie. I was laughing with him! A few years ago, Irode through this town with a friend who grew up in a nearby town. Amazingly she had never seen the movie and found it strange that I was squealing with delight as I recognized some of the houses from the movie.😂

What an Awesome Vlog Jordan!! Loved that movie & thanks for the trip to see where it all happened!! 🙌👍❤️
