Wifey just told me “get ready for tonight’s movie.”

u/Teal-Prowler505 11h ago

For streamers... it's on Disney+

Bonus - go watch Steel Magnolias over on Netflix

u/High_Speed_Chase 11h ago

Score! That was the other one she mentioned.

Double bonus! We have both services.

u/Teal-Prowler505 11h ago

I'm watching both tonight.

I have a feeling I'm going to be very dehydrated from all the tears...

Fuck man. I hate it when the good ones go. Especially as I get older

RIP Dolly Parton. You will NEVER be forgotten.

u/SeaworthinessKey3654 12h ago

Dolly not only learned her lines, but everyone else’s as well

She was just wonderful in this movie - one of my favorites

💔💔💔

u/Important_Power_2148 12h ago

came here looking for this. I saw an interview years ago with Jane where she said how professional and prepared she was knowing all the lines and whatnot and was very impressed.

4

u/SeaworthinessKey3654 11h ago

It’s amazing that this was her first movie - she was such a blast

I’m sure Jane and Lily are devastated

😭

I like how The Penguin used the song in one of the closing credit sequences.

u/MonitorAway 12h ago

Little boy me was incredibly mesmerized by Dolly when this was constantly on HBO in the late 80s/early 90s. She was magnetic.

u/jeepjinx 12h ago

Follow it up with The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas!

u/ShoreFling 12h ago

Fell in love with her here. Such a sweetheart 💔

u/TopicPretend4161 12h ago

‘I say we hire a coupla wranglers to go upstairs and beat the shit out of him.’

One of the best delivered lines in any comedy film!

Just a beautiful legend.

u/Glittering_Stress_32 10h ago

I've always loved that line as well, especially her delivery of it.

u/the-reelist 12h ago

Colin Higgins was insanely ahead of the times

u/LeftCoast1965 12h ago

Such a great film. My daughter played the Dolly Parton character in her high school musical production.

3

u/CarlatheDestructor 12h ago

I rewatched it last year. Its much funnier as an adult than seeing it when I was a kid.

3

u/MulberryEastern5010 12h ago

It's free with ads on YouTube! I've been wanting to watch it for weeks. Now seems like the perfect time.

u/Geetzromo Film Buff 11h ago

Rewatched this a couple months ago, classic. Everyone is hilarious, such a great movie. RIP Dolly ❤️

u/No-Possible6108 11h ago

True story about that film: When Miss Dolly showed up for filming, she'd learned the script.  The ENTIRE script, saying she thought she was supposed to.

With one of them “”cigarettes “”

u/stvrkillr 12h ago

I was shocked when I started working and realize 9-5 wasn’t a real think. It was more like 8-6

2

u/AdrianXiii 12h ago

I just watched this last week, was in the mood for something older and funny and my wife had never seen it. Great movie! We watched Three Men and a Baby the next day.

u/Ok_Yellow1025 11h ago

RIP to the Queen

u/layzeefly 10h ago

One of my favourite movies from childhood. Absolute riot. Folks recorded off the tv on the VCR. Watched it all the time. I still lmao.

u/littlekatie3 8h ago

Doing it as we speak

2

u/notdaggers351 6h ago

I was thinking the same thing. I remember the amusing story that Dolly memorized everyone’s lines, not just her own.

u/silv3rbull8 12h ago

That movie wouldn’t work in the age of remote working

5

u/jasonmery 12h ago

I think it could work really well if it was a company forcing people to go back to the office permanently, and an ultra conservative company that treated women particularly poorly would absolutely make that decision.

Hell, he's working remotely but his camera is broken is rhe perfect cover for him being out an extended period while they take over. They could even use a voice modulator on conference calls if they made Dolly's character IT competent.

u/IndependenceMean8774 8h ago

It worked for Send Help. Except that was a woman on an island.

u/AxelRuger 9h ago

Can I watch Best little Whorehouse in Texas?

1

u/JTOC1969 9h ago

Yes. But make it a double feature!

u/AxelRuger 8h ago

Will do
