City Slickers (2/11) Movie CLIP - It's All Downhill From Here (1991) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mitch (Billy Crystal) tells his son's (Jake Gyllenhaal) class to enjoy their childhood because it's all downhill from here.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
City Slickers blends sight gags, one-liners, and sincerity, with both humor and drama arising from the characters and their situations. Mitch (Billy Crystal) is a radio station sales executive who finds himself in the throes of a mid-life crisis; accompanied by two friends, Phil (Daniel Stern) and Ed (Bruno Kirby) in the grip of similar problems, he heads to New Mexico for his birthday to participate in a two-week "vacation" cattle drive to Colorado. The three friends and the rest of their group, including an attractive, newly single young woman and two African-American dentists, are all urbanites lost when it comes to herding cattle and surviving on the prairie; it's up to authentic, almost mythic cowboy Curly (Jack Palance, who won an Oscar for the role), to whip them into shape. As various adventures occur along the way, including run-ins with outlaw cattlehands, treacherous natural mishaps, and Mitch's delivery of a newborn calf, the three "city slickers" open up to each other, learn to appreciate Curly's Old West values, and begin to resolve their midlife dilemmas. When Curly dies, it's left to Mitch, Phil, and Ed to bring in the herd.

HIT US UP:

[KidFresh]

Found this scene hilarious when first watching in my early 20's. Now, at 50, this stuff hits way too close to home. Wow, Billy Crystal is amazing.

[AHouseDivided]

I was 20 when this movie came out. Thought this scene was hysterical. Now that I’m 51, it’s still funny, mostly because it’s sad but true. I’ve already moved to Fort Lauderdale. 😂

[mkfd]

I have watched this 100 times and I still laugh my butt off... "you end up babbling to a Jamaican nurse who your wife can't stand but who you call mama...any questions?"

[michaelkearney]

The scene is depressing, but Billy Crystal is brilliant playing the part.

[angusmcnab]

I saw this as a teenager in the 90s and hits home more and more the older I get 🤣

[erinwalker]

My favorite scene in the entire movie!

[Mylin]

I first watched this scene when I was a kid. I was only laughing that the faces that the kids and the teacher made. Now I'm laughing at Billy Crystal because it's all still true

[RETROGEMS]

Poignant and f--ing BRUTAL. I remember watching this as a kid with my dad like it was last week. Where'd the 90s go, man?

[Bingo_the_Pug]

I remember when I was 17 & thinking “in 3 years I’m going to be a grown adult oh my god” nobody tells you that you’re still a kid in your twenties then when I was 27 & was thinking “in 3 years I’m going to be so old” I’m 37 now & I still feel like I’m in my twenties

[mvol]

When you totally understand what he’s saying....

[racheldrum]

"Any questions?" No thanks, everybody in the theater is laughing hysterically at the teacher's face ...

[TDKiller]

Jake Gyllenhaal:

Sweet in City Slickers
Tragic in Brokeback Mountain
Psychotic in Spider-Man: Far From Home

This guy REALLY needs an Academy Award.

[The_One-Eyed_Undertaker]

First saw this in 1991 when I was 21.

All I can say is... spot on!

[anglophils]

I'm 67, and have already had several "procedures". I'm trying to stave off the major surgery for as long as possible, as well as the move to Florida, and the Jamaican nurse!

[suttercane]

I thought this was funny when I first saw it. Now that I'm in my 40s, I know it's true.

[ShellyMelody]

At 35, I can confirm that I spend the majority of my time wondering, “What happened to my 20’s?” Lol

[Angela-otes]

"In your 50s you'll have minor surgery...you'll call it a 'procedure' but it's still surgery."

[Circuitssmith]

Mysterio: “Value this time in your life, Peter, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices. My dad told me that a long time ago.”

[Hbbt]

Good Lord even as a kid Jake Gyllenhaal's face was a major source of homicidal rage.

[manpowerify]

I turned 30 this year and I still feel great!
