“There go the g*dd*mn brownies!” So excited for this. This is my favourite childhood movie. Cult classic.

Thadman

"This is no ordinary furnace." 🤣️

Christian Rennie

This is one of my Spooky season yearly rotation movies. Same with House II: The Second Story. Even more camp in that one🤣

Shawn C

One of my all-time favorites! So excited to see it again! 💀☠️ “God, I love this street.”❤️

Mauro Lepe

The dog squinting always gets me 😂

Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

Funny thing about the close ups scene...that wasnt Jerry Goldsmith scoring it, it was actually Ennio Morricone, taken from the score of the movie "My Name is Nobody". I listened to the commentary track for the movie a while ago and apparently Jerry Goldsmith did score the scene, but the Joe Dante wanted a specific sound motif and Universal had to pay for the rights to use the piece 😆🤓 TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL! 😆😆

Rob Nichols

Art was played by comedian Rick Ducommun, he had a small part in The Hunt for Red October as the guy on the transport plane talking about "that chunky industrial waste puke."

Harvey Lee

Another early Halloween treat Awesome , I don't believe I've ever seen this all the way through , when I did I was probably a little "elevated "😆 So watching this again with Jen as no doubt it will be an awesome horror comedy romp .

Bryan Tuck

You've definitely seen some other Joe Dante movies. He directed INNERSPACE, EXPLORERS, and GREMLINS. His movies often mix horror and/or sci-fi elements with a heavy dose of tongue-in-cheek humor. :) A couple others you might enjoy are GREMLINS 2 (which is funnier and not as scary as the first one), and MATINEE (another one that's sort-of "horror adjacent," but not even as scary as THE BURBS). Dante also currently co-hosts a podcast called "The Movies That Made Me," where different filmmakers, actors, and musicians talk about the movies that inspired them. Some interesting conversations there. :)

Rhom

The chainsaw movie is, fittingly, Texas Chainsaw Massacre

JPHintz

Some other good horror/comedies are: The Raven (1963) starring Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and a young Jack Nicholson, The Comedy of Terrors (1963) again with Price, Karloff and Lorre, The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), Theater of Blood (1973) all with Vincent Price, and House of the Long Shadows (1982) with Vincent Price, John Carradine, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee.

Andrew

The neighborhood in the movie is on the Universal Studios backlot in California. It's known as the Colonial Street backlot and many television shows have been shot there including Desperate Housewives.

Gary Cameron

I like seeing this particular grouping of actors together. Of course, Tom Hanks is known today for serious movies but started out as a comedic actor. Bruce Dern was also in a lot of serious dramas but was very funny in this. The actor playing Walter (the elderly neighbor) was on The Lucy Show with Lucille Ball in the 60s. Just a very fun movie that I'm mystified didn't do as well as it deserved. I also realized (but had to look it up to be sure): one of the garbage men is Robert Picardo - the holographic doctor from Star Trek Voyager!

Guy Gordon

The little thematic bit for Bruce Dern's Rumsfield character with the brass echo is a humorous music reference to Jerry Goldsmith's legendary score to Patton. Goldsmith scored most of Joe Dante's work. They were a truly wonderful director/composer team. The 'Burbs is a close second to my favorite theirs, Gemlins II (one of the all-time most underappreciated sequels).

Aaron

speaking of meatballs, you should put that movie (Meatballs, with Bill Murray) on your list if you haven't seen it yet.

Nathan Cline

2 FUN SMALL PARTS IN THIS. THE 2 GARBAGEMEN . 1 PLAYS MISTER FUTTERMAN IN THE GREMLINS MOVIES, AND WAS A SECURITY GUARD IN THE DS9 TIME TRAVEL 2 PARTER. PAST TENSE. THE OTHER IS PLAYED BY THE HOLOGRAPHIC DOCTOR FROM STAR TREK VOYAGER. HE ALSO IS IN GREMLINS 2.

Chad K

Garbage man was Robert Picardo (Innerspace cowboy!)

Rob Nichols

All good ones but I love The Comedy of Terrors, I added it to the request site last year.

Julian San

Walter was played by Gale Gordon, longtime co-star of Lucille Ball on many of her tv shows. You can actually see their pictures on top the TV when they’re inside his house.

Adam Harris

He also directed episodes of Police Squad, the 1980s colour revival of Twilight Zone, and Eerie, Indiana.

Darryl Low

He should have slipped on the dog poop! You should have written this movie Jen. That would have been the perfect call back 😊 You've now watched 4 of the 9 Joe Dante / Jerry feature film collabs on your channel. This is such a fun one. Spooky and very wacky, with a lot of great physical humour. I love when the cookie plate gets smashed by the door as well. It's so perfectly timed 😂 Tom Hanks hadn't really hit the big time when they were making this. He had just done Big and that was released during filming and was a huge hit, so The' burbs rode the shirt tails of Big when it was released and went straight to no.1 that weekend. The 'burbs was filmed on the Universal backlot, and the Klopeks house is the same house that The Munsters lived in, with a few additional renovations. Casper would be good spooky comedy as well. It's another enjoyable movie with a great cast and awesome score. Thanks for your reaction today Jen. Had a blast 😊

Darryl Low

He also directed a couple of Police Squad episodes as well 😊

Darryl Low

He also in Die Hard as the power guy who is asked to cut the power to Nakatomi Plaza by the FBI. I guess he never learned anything about electricity for this movie 😂

Robert Durant

SPOILERS!!! Ok so this movie is loose remake of an old Twilight Zone episode called “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street”. In that episode the people of a suburban neighborhood become paranoid when they start to believe aliens are living among them, things spiral out of control and every one goes nuts. The twist is there really were aliens who were purposely influencing the paranoia themselves as part of their plans. The director of this movie Joe Dante directed one of the segments of the Twilight Zone movie in 1983.

Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

Too bad you dislike chainsaws because Ray watched a few seconds of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 while channel surfing, it is a lot of fun!! 😆

Rob Nichols

Since you're wanting to see more comedy horrors I'll suggest again Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. It's a perfect Halloween spooky comedy, it's Bud and Lou's best film and the best Frankenstein spoof.

Jeff McClellan

I would suggest that you might want to check out the series of the same name now available (8 eps) on Peacock -- not directly relatled but very much inspired by the movie.

MattN

omg im so excited for this!! This movie was made SPECIFICALLY for Jen!! The music, the 80s/90s feel, the mystery, the dogs, everything... I am SO excited

BND

I don't understand how Streamable works. Some videos work on iOS, like this one, but others don't. Why is that?

Joe Concepts

He was one of the guards from Spaceballs who got his uniform stolen. "They beat the shit out of us, too!"

Joe Concepts

I saw this in the theater, and see it as kind of a "cult classic." It's a sometimes overlooked Tom Hanks movie, from that era where the studios seemed to see him as mostly a comedic actor. This was a year after "Big."

Joe Concepts

Star Trek, Seinfeld and now loving The 'Burbs! Jen's a girl after my own heart!

Bryan Tuck

Something else you might appreciate about the score for this movie: That echoing trumpet motif for Rumsfield is Jerry Goldsmith spoofing his own score from PATTON, where the same motif was used in a more serious manner. :)

Andrew Roach

He was also in Groundhog Day with his pal in the diner and later in the car playing chicken with that train.

Andrew Roach

As others have mentioned one of the garbage man will later be the holographic doctor in Voyager, one of the most beloved characters on that show. You of course would not recognize him from that but he was also in the DS9 episode playing the creator of the holographic doctor in the episode where Dr. Bashir's secret of being genetically enhanced was revealed.
