You said it perfectly, airline pilots in the 60,70,80s were legit seen as Rockstars, it was considered an elite position and very upper class. The way the movie portrays people acting towards him because he's a pilot is very accurate.

“Do you concur?” Pops up in our house once or twice a year.

When I was a kid, Pilots were like rock stars. Kids admired them like they do athletes today. The time my brother and I took our first flight, the Pilot let us go in the cockpit and we were in awe of the instruments panel. They also used to give out toy pilot wings to the kids too. Those were the good old days.😊

Fun fact: The French cop that arrests Frank in the movie is the real Frank Abagnale. Also, this is such a quality movie. Its so much better than it makes it out to be. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks are phenomenal and Christopher Walken is always a win. Plus, another gem of music from John Williams.

Since this film was made, it's been discovered that basically everything Abagnale claimed about his life was made up. I honestly don't know why anyone was surprised.

Fun fact: Steven Spielberg turned down directing Pirates Of The Caribbean to make this movie and would direct the Sci Fi Action Adventure Minority Report. Carl Hanratty is actually a compilation of several FBI and Secret Service agents that were on Frank Abagnale's trail for a few months.

Pilots were Rockstars, Stewardesses were glamorous, and you would wear your best Sunday clothes to travel on a plane. It was such a big deal to be able to travel by air during this time. People have no respect for any of it now. It's commonplace and many people think it's a place to act foolish and entitled, sadly.

Frank was actually one of four children, growing up with two brothers and a sister. On a similar note, Abagnale's mother never remarried and the Christmastime window scene where he discovers her with a new daughter never actually happened.

The film ends with Abagnale working directly with the FBI, but this isn't exactly how things shook out. When the film was released, an FBI spokesperson (via NewsDay) acknowledged that Abagnale had given lectures at the Academy "from time to time," but denied other grandiose claims about the agency employing Abagnale.

Leo in What's Eating Gilbert Grape is good too. Depp is in it as well.

Leo played a better Flash than Ezrer Diddy Miller 💀

Frank also escaped prison in Atlanta posing as a guard or something and they let him walk right out the front door

Love how he calls himself "Barry Allen", when that was literally the Silver Age comic book name of The Flash lol. Absolutely classic.

It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is a longer film, but you would love it. And the best comedy for you to react to is Porky’s.

Normally, I would add this to my Christmas watch list, since it revolves around Christmas so much, but you guys are just too much fun to watch that I can't miss out on your reactions to this one.

60-80's Pilot's were like rockstars.

In real life, Frank's father was the first scam victim. After his mother moved out following the divorce, Frank stayed with his father, and around that time, committed his very first scam. Using his father's credit cards, he began charging thousands of dollars - but when the first bill arrived, his father caught on. After a brief stint at a school for wayward boys, Frank moved out on his own at just 16 years old. And unlike in the movie, Frank never saw his father again. He's said that while he was in prison, his father was in a freak slip-and-fall accident and died after falling down the steps of a New York subway station.

Abagnale's claims were made before fact-checking involved Google searches. But it also helps that when Abagnale began telling his story in the '70s, there wasn't much research digging into his claims. He began making these claims at small events and eventually found himself on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." By that point, people assumed the questions had already been asked.

The best knock knock joke of all time. Hahahaha!!!

Regarding the lawyer con: The fifth floor of the building Frank claims to have worked in never housed his agency's offices. For his part, Abagnale has always had a response to these claims - arguing that the people he scammed simply don't want to admit that they were fooled.

One of the best movies ever made imo. Everything about it was perfect.

Leo DiCaprio is such an amazing actor He’s so into the character it makes him truly believable He out acted Hanks in every scene But I do think Hanks was being submissive acting wise to let him shine more and for the character to truly be the focus

16:20 FBI Well, you aren't showing it to her now are you, but the audience can see xD

Well, Christmas has come early. Catch Me If You Can is one of the best films in Spielberg's filmography. Great reaction bros! 👍🏿

We staying with Pops _Moms for the streets_ 😂😂😂😂

To be honest, pilots do not get the respect they deserve; They should receive the same praise as our first responders.

Another great film "based" on a "true story" is Patch Addams. You guys will love it.

I'm not proud to admit it, but I've done some document forging in my day. But I did it in the era of computers and photoshop and graphic design software. This dude did it with a typewriter, ketchup labels and toy airplanes. Hero worship.

I took a forensics class in high school and we watched this movie as part of it. I loved it!

Frank was in jail serving time in the Great Meadow Correctional Institute in Comstock, New York, and wasn't paroled until 1967, which is well after the period he was allegedly posing as a pediatrician

The two mouse story is actually a great story for the time. Took me multiple times hearing it to understand what it meant 25:07 and the first time he's truthful is when it worked out for him but the lies catch up

Back then pilot considered as one of the famous profession, ppl idolized them. I remember when I was a kid I was always amazed seeing them. Even until now pilot still one of the “high class” job

“Moms for the streets” great line

I was surprised how good this movie was when I watched it for the first time. I remember when it came out in the theaters, I didn't watch it because, frankly, it didn't sound interesting at all. I mean, "an FBI agent hunts for a check forger." That definitely sounds like a movie you'd fall asleep while watching. But oh how I was mistaken. This is truly a fantastic film.

The goats of KZfaq

Oh yeah this is one of my favorites

I loved when Frank was a guest on Johnny Carson telling these stories. The actual episode of To Tell The Truth is in KZfaq.

Ah yes My favourite take on the Flash

This is such a classic movie, so well done

The title sequence is reminiscent of Saul Bass. He was a graphic designer in the 50s and 60s. He did many title sequences for Hitchcock, including Psycho and North by Northwest.

Pilots, especially for Pan Am, were highly respected and seen as glamorous as well. They were a kind of superstar in the day.

The scene where he is apprehended (supposed to be a village square in France) is actually in Quebec City, Canada. If you ever want a piece of Europe at a fraction of the cost and time, go there!

saw this movie back when it first came out still one of my favorites to this day.

seriously one of my favorite movies ever made I used to watch this all the time as a kid

I didn't know what to expect from this movie. I was blown away by the story and the acting. The pacing is some of the best I've seen from a Spielberg movie.

man moves from The Flash to James Bond then to Spider-man with Doctor Kurt Conners.

I wasn't a huge Leonardo DiCaprio fan and then I saw this movie and it really surprised me. He's pretty good

Parks, the inspiration for Brenda, claims their relationship in the film is not only heavily exaggerated, but blithely mischaracterized. In reality, Parks was a stewardess who met Abagnale while he was posing as a pilot. Though they struck up a friendship, it was quickly derailed when he discovered her work schedule (through deceptive means) and followed her all over the Eastern Seabord. Parks didn't know what to do with him. She tried to tell him that she wasn't interested, but he was persistent. After essentially stalking her through work, Abagnale showed up at her apartment in New Orleans where she told him that she was leaving to go visit her parents in Baton Rouge. He decided to tag along. After he met her parents, the duo parted ways and that seemed to be the end of it ... until Abagnale returned. He ended up staying with the family for quite a while. Having successful wined and dined Parks' parents, they came to trust him - even though Parks herself didn't. While he was staying in her family home and sleeping in her old bedroom, she was very reasonably mortified. Her parents were cooking meals for him and introducing him to people in Baton Rouge. Although he took them out to dinners as a thank you, it was later revealed that he was doing this with checks he was stealing from them. Abagnale allegrdly stole about $1,200 from the Parks family, and even more from local businesses in Baton Rouge.

There's millions in helping companies keep from losing their millions.

So glad you guys finally watched this. Definitely worth every min.

MOVIE SUGGESTIONS!!!!!! Horror/Suspense: Cry Wolf, Along Came A Spider or Murder By Numbers Comedy: The New Guy, Guess Who or Hear No Evil See No Evil Tearjerker: Midnight Sun, John Q or Charlie St Cloud Feel-Good(ish): We Bought A Zoo, Patch Adams or Serendipity Action: Negotiator, Enough or 88 Minutes

LOVE this movie! Throwing out the criminally underrated movie The Talented Mr. Ripley (Oscar nominated, suspense, Matt Damon/Jude Law/ Philip Seymour Hoffman, gorgeous movie & soundtrack…). Also criminally ‘under-known’ About Schmidt (Jack Nicholson/ Kathy Bates, really funny but also great drama…)

In the 60s air travel was still pretty new so being a pilot was a big deal.

He kept that Medal of Honor in the only place he could.. his ass.. wait a MINUTE.. wrong movie.😂

When you get the chance, tell the people you love, you love them. Tomorrow’s not promised.

In the 60's, flying was glamorous. It was expensive, and people dressed up. The seats were spacious and real food was served. Flight attendants had strict beauty and dress requirements and had to be young and single. Pilots were very respected and were basically treated like rock stars.

The way you guys introduce yourselves always makes me laugh, kind of wish I had some friends like you

I love this movie !! / Heeey, just wanna make sure that u guys know that Brazil is here 🇧🇷 (THANKS EDUARDO ❤❤❤ LOL)

All the French scenes of this movie were done in Canada by French Canadian actors imitating a French from France accent. I recognized a lot of the French Canadian actors.

You guys should do That Thing you Do next. Another great one written, directed by and starring Tom Hanks.

Frank Abagnale is an amazing guy! You should listen to one of his speeches if you ever get the chance! He even signed a couple of autographs for me!

Pilots were the original astronauts. They were very much rockstars up until the moon landing.

Love this movie! Glad yall had fun.

He was on the Johnny Carson show one night. Told some other stories which were fascinating

Good movie love the video octokrool stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way

I love this movie! Watching it with you guys makes it even better!!!🎉🎉🎉

Absolute brilliant movie ,never get tired of watching it

Pilots were treated like celebrities back then

Back in the day pilots were basically celebrities and being an astronaut made you a demigod. Sadly, those times have past.

Whooo, I'm first! Awesome movie! Love your reactions, back to the vid. XD

Yep..at that time, airline pilots were like celebrities - handsome men in uniform ;). AND, if you were a woman who was lucky enough to be a stewardess for PanAm, every man wanted you and every other girl wanted to BE you. The flight attendants back then (they were all female) were called “stewardesses” or “Stews” for short. They were stunningly beautiful, wore THE sharpest uniforms and they, too - were like celebrities. Air travel was a lot more glamorous back in the day (50’s/60’s) - even the insides of the airplanes were beautiful and the meals they served were incredible. Even the passengers got dressed up to travel - very classy.

I havent seen this movie in such a long time might have to put it on tonight and watch with my son

He’s a trip!! 😂😂😂

One of my favorite movies

Can you guys please react to Jurassic Park?

You guys should watch The Aviator with Leo.. he was robbed of an Oscar for that movie.

Excellent

one of Leo's best performances awesome movie

Principal should've been like, "Oh, there's not a problem. Not really. Most kids going through hard times aren't nearly as productive with their angst. Hell, we'd like him to come back as an employee!"

Back then Airline Pilots were darn near Astronauts, and we used to dress to fly (men often wore suit and tie) - None of that grown men looking like Kindergarteners going to the beach on airliners! By the mid-seventies things really started to change. I worked for a company that when travelling on their dime we were required to wear suit and tie up thru the nineties - then the minimum requirement relaxed after 2000 to sport jacket and slacks.

Definitely Steven Spielberg’s most underrated film

As good as this movie is, the book dives deeper and makes the story better.

Knock Knock🤣

At 13:02 it’s just so subtly brilliant… He’s not just flirting, he’s also distracting her while she’s in the process of looking closely at that airline check… JUST in case she would notice anything off about it 😏

Divorce, dysfunctional family, father and son relationship, etc. is at the core of many Spielberg's films, 'cause he has experienced it himself as a kid and suffered from it. Thus it's all over his career. You see it in "Close Encounters", "E.T.", "Last Crusade", "Catch me if you can", "War of the Worlds" and so on, up until recently with "The Fabelmans" of course, as it is some kind of an autobiography film.

Catch me if you can with David Arquette from 1998 is also a great movie ❤

According to the biography, he was also a college professor for a summer.

My third fav Leo movie. Such a classic

Awesome reaction of my favorite DreamWorks movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

Do you know who could catch you? The people on the patron and the subscribers. None subs are too fat to run.

pilots were rock stars back in the 60s.

Great film

If you find this unbelievable in some parts, like it was exaggerated in the movie, just know that the real story is even wilder. Frank Abagnale is a genius. The saddest part of the story is that his original reason for committing all of these non-violent crimes is just to get his family back. It's also interesting to me that if you're rich or a corporation and you commit a crime against a poor person, you get a slap on the wrist, if that. If you're poor and you rob from the rich, you're going to prison. That was Frank's crime - stealing from rich people.

Another good video. You will enjoy watching the american pie presents series especially naked mile and beta house

Absolute cinema

Excellent film

Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing

Sorry for stating this if it been addressed but I like how the camera has been pulled out more also this was my first time commenting on it because of what going on

Frank Abagnale is currently the one in the hyper realistic mask portraying Pretendident “Joe Biden”. The guy’s amazing.

When he tore the label of the bottle he achieved something. He got himself a 'lay' ticket. Never heard of a 'lay' ticket? You need to get to more keggers. 🙂
