You think I’d have an N word run the company!” Showing that in the end he is still a racist. The scene doesn’t work as well now that you cannot say that word,no matter what context you use it in,not even in an anti racism movie. Same thing with Aykroyd in black face on the train

The scene in this film that gets me is when they were explaining the commodities market to Eddie Murphys character and one of them mentioned Pork bellies. Pork bellies which make bacon and you might find in a bacon and lettuce tomato sandwich.

I love Denholm Elliot in this film. When I first saw it as a quite young man, naturally Jamie Lee caught my adolescent attention and held it for some time. She still does, of course! But on many, many re-watchings, my appreciation for the work that Denholm Elliott did as Coleman the butler rises every time. He is so mellow, so under-stated, yet his micro-expressions are on point every single time. Two of my favorites: When he is pretending not to know his old boss Winthorpe and is about to close the door on him. He is very stern, and plays his role (I refer to Coleman playing the role of someone who doesn't know Winthorpe) so convincingly: "Coleman? There's no Coleman here. You've made a mistake." But just before he closes the door, there is a flash of pity on his face, of self-disgust, of "my old boss Winthorpe may be an asshole, but my real bosses the Duke brothers are major total assholes; I hate myself for doing this terrible thing to Winthorpe, who may be a snob, but doesn't deserve this." All said with a single expression in a fraction of a second before he closes the door. It is all written on his face, and you can tell. Brilliant acting! Then near the end of the film, as they are hatching the plot to get back at the Dukes. Two words: "Egg nog?" Decades of resentment, class warfare, pent-up frustration boiled into two seemingly innocuous words, delivered with more vitriol than they have ever held before. Denholm is a genius.

Trading Places. One excellent comic film of all time. Great story lines and just the perfect cast. 10/10

I feel like it's not Christmas unless TV is showing Trading Places. One of the best all time.

Well, true measure of a successful classic is on full display in the the comments by the type of comments. A good movie gets the usual praise and adulations from the fans, comments like, “Great Movie”, “One of the best”, “great cast” and on and on and so forth…BUT the true measure of greatness as shown by the above comments are the types of praise, in which commenting strangers all come together with the unintentional result of, in a way acting like like friends and acquaintances sharing their favorite moments and lines, reliving the movie scene by scene with each other as though we had all literally just stepped out of the theater on the original night of its release repeating our favorite lines and moments with the same level of heartfelt joy we experienced so long ago. Now that is the true measure of a great film. To feel nearly the same emotions and the joy of sharing them with others after so many years have past. True thanks to ALL involved with this film and the joy, entertainment and memories it created and brought to so many.

One of my absolute favorite movies. Always watch it when I see it on.

they simply were/are perfect!

Sir John Gielgud in “Arthur” and Denholm Elliot in “Trading Places” proves that English actors are perfect for Butler roles for the Nouveau Riche of America in films.

Indeed. They approach the roles of a butler with the haughtiness and perspective that regardless of their status as working-class 'servants', they hold an air snobbish disdain for their employers (Arthur, Todd) and their boorishness. Denholm had barely hidden loathe for Todd / Akroyd and some paternal concern for Billy Ray Valentine / Eddie Murphy, trying to help Billy navigate this new environment without becoming the a-hole Todd was.

Eddie at his funniest. One of his best movies. Jamie and dan are just as good. Great movie with an even better cast. Thanks for sharing. Made me wanna watch the film again now 😂

This movie is a classic, I loved every character in this movie.

Dan should be proud. He gave an Academy Award level performance as Winthorpe. I don't know who won that year, but he better have been great.

among my all-time FAVORITE movies. One of the best comedies ever made. Trading Places will live on forever.

A true and genuine comedy classic.

One of the funniest most brilliant movies ever made. So perfectly cast

Oh, Coleman! I had the most absurd nightmare. I was poor and no one liked me.

In arguably one of the greatest comedies ever made. Everything just comes together perfectly. It’s hilarious, but it also has plenty of heart without being too mushy about it. Every performance is literally spot on. The movie feels timeless. I’ve watched it over and over the decades and it holds its weight brilliantly. No doubt generations will appreciate love and laugh this masterpiece.

Love love love this movie! One thing I love is that they bring Mortimer and Randolph to Coming to America, giving them a second chance. Totally awesome move.

I had this film on VCR. Watched it a few times & it never gets old to me. Legend actors and actresses & John Landis is a fantastic Director 👍🏻

To this day trading places is one of my favorite movies. And one of the few where I can recite every line.

This was just a joy to revisit. So glad everyone had a great time making the movie because my entire family loved this movie and still does. ♥️😂♥️

The line that stuck with me is when Jamie says "Please to help me with my Rucksack" lol

Been in trains in Britain, Germany, Greece, Australia and New Zealand and never been asked that, pity!

I was 12 years old when Trading Places came out. We didn't have HBO to watch it so, I called and had it installed while my mom was at work. Eventually, my mom found out what I did, cancelled our HBO channel, and beat my ass with a belt. Hard!! I didn't care, I wanted to see Eddie Murphy! 😂

This movie is a legend. Until now I keep watching this movie over & over!

3 comic talents. 3 great stars! John Landis always had the talent to understand big mega hits

One of the classics. A true masterpiece that I have seen over and over again since it’s release. Will never get bored of it. If it’s on tv I always have to watch it.

By far one of the funniest films ever made ... The casting was pitch perfect

I was 19 when this movie came out. Laughed my head off😊

I’ve been watching this movie on a loop lately. Best comedy of the 80’s in my opinion

There's some other great ones, but this is definitely one of them. Completely holds up. I each it every Christmas.

Cool story about Don not wanting to say the f word. For me that line & how he delivered it is one of the best bits in the film. All in one single take, doff my cap to you Sir. Complete pro.

It was a bit weird that he seems to have been fine saying “the N-word”, in the bathroom scene, but considered turning down the role and then briefly stopped production for “the F-word”.

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen , and it never gets old! The casting and acting were over the top…I know I've watched it well over a dozen times and will continue to watch it over and over again…now that it’s near forty years old…it is truly a Classic. Cheers Billy Ray and Winthrop.

This movie is such a classic that I first saw when I was seven and it has been an honor to be a fan of the whole cast over the last 40 years, thank you!

complete classic, never gets old

My favourite film of all time.... I always encouraged everyone to watch it...... Soooo funny even till this day 😅🇬🇧😅🇬🇧

Can not believe it took me so long to watch this movie. Glad I finally did see it. It awesome!

One of my favorite Christmas movies. When I moved to Philadelphia 30+ years later I was surprised how many of the locations still look the same.

Where Jamie Lee Curtis's apartment was located has changed a lot. Every time I see the movie I re-live how run down South St. west of 7th St was. I like to watch Blow Out, another great Philly film from that era, to see how grimy Center City was back then. I've lived here since 1970, so I've seen plenty of positive change.

I just watched the movie and laughed my ass off the entire length of it. Great improvs, Ralph Bellamy, Don Amichi, and of course Jamie Leigh Curtis…….thank you Jamie 👀😁
