  • Watch the movie and then come on down to New Orleans to enjoy the finest Cajun and creole. L'cest les bon temps rollett when you listen to fantastic jazz and zydeco music. We're still alive in New Orleans and no hurricane will get us down.

  • Kiss your hand 10 times

    then say your crushes name 15 times

    then post this to a video

    and then look at your hand

  • such a great movie-sizzling chemistry between Remy and Ellen Barkin's character-when she says'I never had that much luck with men'and he says'your luck is about to change char-hot-melts the screen and the look of betrayal he feels when he finds out the truth about the people he respected-blind loyalty-

  • One of my favorite movies, too... Dennis Quaid rocks!!

  • I REALLY wish I could get a cut of this song by Dewey Balfa! This is the song that turned me on to Cajun Music!!!!!!!  LOVE this !

  • This is one of the sexiest films ever made... I so wanted to be her when first saw it... Dennis Quaid is the epitome of seduction.

  • I've been to this house on one of my many visits to New Orleans.It's in Metarie, I think. It's close to the lake.It was empty when I was there.

  • I am so glad , that he is still one of the "good guys" today.

  • Where can i get this Song? The Band must be Beausoleil?Please help!

  • @irland1961 That's Dewey Balfa playing the fiddle, and the name of the song is, "You Use To Call Me" by Clifton Chenier. I'm not sure if Chenier composed it, but he's well known for it.

  • It is scenes like this that aren't part of the main story that add so much richness to a great movie.

  • Anyone know the title of this song? It is a Cajun song and want to know the title.

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone know the title of this song?

  • This movie blew me away.

    It's cheeky, funny and sexy all at the same time, and whilst I'm not familliar with proper dialect, it still curled my toes 0-o

  • It seems to me great movies have these special scenes, that may not be necessary to the plot, but add a wonderful richness to movie and are often what I remember most. Another example is the conversation in the evening on the boat when jaws is being hunted.

  • Why be so critical? It was a good movie and the music was great!

  • Thats some terrible stuff.......thats supposed to be New orleans, not georgia(Dennis is using what sounds alot like a georgia accent....pluss, NO is a little too far east and north for that kinda music, as New Orleans IS NOT in acadiana...The Big Easy was a poorly done movie........at least as faras cultural accuacy is concerned

  • i need the enbeddment code dam it

  • one of my favorite movies....i never get tired of watching it

  • BIG EASY one of the great underated movies of all time

  • @stern12 | no it isn't.. don't be silly.. CONAN THE BARBARIAN!!!!! NOW THAT'S A GREAT UNDER-RATED MOVIE!!!!!

  • who cares, the big easy was the best moveie and dennis sings it the best, bar, none, i should know, i been wathing that move since 89

  • my most favorite movie of all time,i,ve watched it, 2 or 3 hundred times,dennis quaid is to awesome

  • this is my favourite film

  • makes you wann go home(the Big Easy)...

  • 1:57-2:04...ROFLMAO...thanks for posting, I needed that laugh.

  • excellent way for the character to use music to get the girl and her refusal was classic. this film is a gem and so overlooked. glad I bought the soundtrack, its great.

  • I was so in love with Dennis Quaid when this came out ...

  • excellent clip, thanks for posting :)

  • where can i find the song from the opening credits of this movie, its brilliant..

  • is that dewey balfa on fiddle????

  • Dewey Balfa!!!!??? That man is a freakin legend! Where is he?

  • i dont know about the dancing ,,it ok by me ,,,,this is a great movie ,,,,but i love this scene,,,,

  • Ha ha ha The dancing is terrible. Totally non-Cajun. Christine Balfa taught me to Cajun dance and it wasn't anything like that. This must have humiliated her father. I love Robert Jardell putting his hand on her shoulder as reassurance. Bless you and Dirk and your family, Christine. Balfa Toujours!

  • sorry, but why humiliated? btw, this is an honest question, so please no flaming or cursing etc. as one sometimes runs into here on the internet?

  • When Dewyey Balfa was in charge of Cajun Creole Week at Augusta Heritage, I hear he insisted that everyone be taught to dance. Christine says he was a stickler for accuracy, and she used to get "looks" shot her way by Dad when her playing was even slightly off.

  • Pretty sure the lead singer is Dewey Balfa.

  • saw this back in '87 at the theater when i was 15...this was one of the best movies of the year, it was too entertaining...both siskel and ebert loved it , too...i even put it at number 2 on my own list....

  • Great flick. Sure had the spirit of Nawlins.

  • Gambit?

  • Funny this movie was made before his first appearance.....

  • Thank you so much for posting this...I was looking for it for a long time.

    It's classic!!

  • Thanks for posting!!! Seriously, anybody...where can I download this song???!!!

  • Excellent clip! we need the whole song!!

  • i so agree. i need to learn to play this its such a legendary tune!

  • n1 scene^^ <3

  • They are right. Best scene and song in 1987. What is the title of the song? Was it ever recorded? Thx.

  • The song is called "You Used To Call Me" by Clifton Chenier. His version is a bit different than this one, slower tempo. The only one on ITunes I found similar was Kyle Huval and the Dixie Club Ramblers.

  • Thank you very much. I should have thanked you earlier.

  • do you know where i can get the lyrics for this song? i haven't been able to find it online

  • This was a great movie for Quaid. Sadly, I haven't seen him in any other really good movies.

  • She was hot then and still is

  • This is the scene I've been looking for. Thanks so much for posting it.

  • wow, ty you so much, alula56 - i saw Big Easy when first released, and was so disappointed, that this song wasn't on soundtrack - was trawling for it today, but w/o much hope, when your clip turned up - this was one of my fav scenes too
