The Addams Family (3/10) Movie CLIP - Dinner Conversation (1991) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The impostor Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) is distressed by dinner with the Addams family.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Inspired more by the 1960s TV series than by the original Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons, The Addams Family proved to be one of the more successful of the TV shows-turned-movies of the 1990s. The film opens on a recreation of the magazine cartoon wherein the ghoulish Addamses prepare to pour hot oil upon a group of merry Christmas carolers. After a series of vignettes which establish the characters of Gomez (Raul Julia), Morticia (Anjelica Huston), Wednesday (Christina Ricci), Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) and family servants Lurch (Carel Struycken) and Thing (Christopher Hart), the plot proper gets under way. A stranger, played by Christopher Lloyd, shows up on the Addams doorstep, claiming to be long-lost Uncle Fester. It appears, however, that Lloyd is a ringer, in cahoots with attorney Tully Alford (Dan Hedaya) to strip the Addamses of their fortune. In their usual against-the-grain fashion, the Addams Family seems to delight in the possibility that they're being hoodwinked-indeed, not even kidnapping or death threats dampen the Addams clan's joy of living (or should we say dying?). The Addams Family served as the directorial debut of cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld.

The casting was A+ - one of my favorite childhood film series.

"Mamma's Spécialité de la Maison..." Very impressive french accent! Just perfect.

[zaknafein_aconite]

As morbid as they appear, they're still far more functional than most families, these days.

[rubens]

I like how Gomez calmly loses it when she speaks French

[KittyxGrimm]

“May I have the salt?”

“What do we say?”

“NOW!”

Classic. XD

[TeamBreezyWilliams]

Morticia: "What do we say?"
Wednesday: "NOW."
Sounds like something I would say lmao

[artisticalex]

Christina Ricci was the perfect Wednesday and she makes me laugh so much. 😂😂

[ToonJoey]

I tell ya, Christopher Lloyd has the face of a total character! He was perfect to play Fester!

[roseandstem]

I love the way Morticia Nibbles at her food while studying fester.

[deadpool]

This is what Tim Burton's 'Dark Shadows' re-make tried to be like, but it didn't even come close.

[Chattercharlie]

I just realised that uncle fester is doc brown from back to the future!!

[fuIfiIIed]

Wednesday: Can you pass me the salt?
Uncle Fester: (Passes slowly)
Morticia: What do we say?
Wednesday: Now.
Uncle Fester: (Passes quickly)

[gracewang]

as for her age, ricci's acting is brilliant!

[CaioH.]

*1:27** That face, that laugh... The best Uncle Fester I've ever seen. Very funny 🤣😂.*

[Fireluv]

christopher lloyd is a genius! First as 'Doc' from BTTF(Back To The Future) and then as Uncle Fester. These characters are masterpieces if you ask me.

[JordanScanlon]

Uncle Fester made me laugh the whole time. 🤣

[WolfieMcMuffin]

See! In the movies, everyone thinks the Addams family are weird monsters! But everyone who watches them thinks they are amazing! If everyone started to follow the Addams' family habits, their way of life would become the norm!

[Christknight]

Fester: remember camp custard?

Gomez: for preteen offenders

[Lieutenant_Dude]

I always loved this pugsley. Quiet, nonplussed, yet subtlety effective.

[rickyhurtado]

This is the Addams’ family of my childhood. Nothing else compares.
