Lilies of the Field - Amen

[ChocolateCake207]

This movie is an old favorite of my family's! Thanks for posting this video!

[WestminsterATL]

great song!!!!!:-]

[okoskutya35]

Super Jo film

[mst3k4ever1]

@wrinklingwatches oh yes you can...he makes this so enjoyable to watch...amen

[Logarian]

This song takes me back to simpler times when my parents were alive.  I remember watching this.

[GodsCountryNetwork]

This movie was released on July 5th, 1963. It relayed the upswing of what American society portrayed and believed in as far as loving neighbor and the

importance of sharing faith. It was a genuine movie. JFK was assassinated 4 months later, and the entire country changed after that.

[smb08]

this was a great movie!!

[Rango4U]

You've just been Booned.

[ganjacreator]

GANJA CREATOR BUILT A CHAPEL WITH LOVE

[sarastarp99]

my parents were watch hing this movie. i wished i watched it with them bc i came in right before this part and watched it. they has to return it to the library so maybe ill see it another time. my mom loves this song... i do too.

[gunnerkobra]

im kind of lost...what is the deal with ed boon

[lucymydog1995]

@gunnerkobra ed boon posted this to his twitter account.

[TheDeman008]

can someone tell me why one day late is so bad? Stop bitching about kenshi not here and just play skarlet until he comes out, thats what i did.

[Criptomatic]

LOLOLOL Boon sent me here.

[rhribal08]

@Meathook49 i meant to say he's kidding, bro

[rhribal08]

@Meathook49 he's bro, u need to learn some respect...

[Meathook49]

Ed Boon can be kind of a douche sometimes. The way he criticized that person for their letter... Who cares about the grammar and spelling, the guy complimented Ed and NRS. That's a hell of a way to repay a compliment....

[lucymydog1995]

@Meathook49 he didn't criticize him.... he just said that his writing didn't look like he was old enough to play MK. and then later he said that they don't KNOW if it is actually a child.

[Meathook49]

@lucymydog1995 It's still ignorant. As for that "easy chief" comment he makes, I hope he doesn't say that to a Native American person, or he's gonna get sued, and I'm gonna lol.

[lucymydog1995]

@Meathook49 any native american who sues someone because they say easy chief is a moron who deserves to be slapped. same with any other race and racial slur. its just a word, get over it :)

[windstorm1000]

@lucymydog1995 Words can harm--you must not know a lot

[lucymydog1995]

@windstorm1000 trust me, i know words can hurt. i have red hair and pale white skin. do you know how often i get called names? yeah. im just not going to go around and bitch about it, or sue because someone tells me to put on some sunscreen or something stupid. "easy chief" (what the argument was about) is a universal term that doesn't really even refer to natives.

[thisone38]

Haaaaaa! I got kenshi. And this is kinda neat i want to see this film. Sony for life!

[GummyTumor]

@Shawnbob21 Lmao!! In what planet do you live that xbox gamers are their own race? People like you make me want to punch myself in the face.

[ThatClassifiedGuy]

To all of the fuckers complaining about MK DLC: It is neither Ed Boon's nor Netherealm's fault you don't have Kenshi. It was Microsoft's fuck up, so get your head out of your ass and deal with it.

[Shawnbob21]

Why did ed send us here, this has absolutely nothing to do with why their being racist towards xbox players by withholding kenshi from us!!!

[Ophericon]

Guys guys guys, must we bring the MK comments to this video just because Boon shared it with us? I think it's a wonderful scene and I don't know if I saw the movie yet or not but i'd sure love to

[KrazieThugNutz]

We pay like $300 for xbox, $60 for xbox live, $60 for mortal kombat and 1200 MSP for DLCs... how much must we pay befor shit starts to work??? this is why ppl are mad about this we have every right to be!

[auniversalstick]

I DONT WANT JAX I WANT KENSHI

[Crash0fficiaL]

You guys need to chill. Youre not gonna die for waiting a fucking day without kenshi... Its not like hes the only character in MK

[tjmack010]

Ok 1st we don't get a demo, 2nd we don't get an exclusive character and 3rd we get a DLC late?, what the hell!!!!

[ProR2D2]

KENSHI KENSHI Where is it in xbox live"" plz bring it

[yeah69mx]

Where is foockin Kenshin for Xbox Live ?????? We've paid for it already and the PSN has it and Xbox Live doesnt' !!!! Where the hell is Kenshin???

[LordYggdrasill]

ED BOON SENT ME HERE AND I STILL DON'T HAVE MY MOTHERFUCKING KENSHI!!!!!!!!

[ShootStyleZombie]

I FUCKING PAID FOR THE SEASON PASS AND I STILL DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING DLC, THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT

[Just4TheLOL]

@ShootStyleZombie they say its tomorrow for Xbox. PSN already have it =(

[ShootStyleZombie]

@Just4TheLOL I know, that's fucking bullshit that we have to wait when its suppose to come out today

[ThePK8]

@ShootStyleZombie It's Microsoft's fault. I'm sure they'll make an announcement of some sort explaining the delay.

[funkyduyman]

Why did Ed boon send me here -_- wow ps3 fan boy man c'mon you had to release it on the ps3 first than the xbox fuck..

[iiAFX]

@funkyduyman

don't blame ed for microsoft's problem

[kunfupanda1231]

Why did Ed Boon send me here! o_0

[ShinjiNaku]

Ed Boon sent me here

[ThePK8]

*inserts obligatory thumbs up comment about Ed Boon sending you here*

[MisterTownsend]

@ThePK8 Ed boon? what about mortal kombat? Fill me in im confused.

[TheMasterWE]

ed boon builds the chapel

[Hippiegeekful]

ed

[Z3R05150]

WTF Does Mortal Kombat have to Do with this?Unless they are talking about Raiden & the Elder Gods I Don't Get it Ed Boon...

[takeaimnfire]

@Z3R05150 It was a joke about saying "Amen" to people's sense of entitlement is frightning...

[numbah82]

Ed



[MKIceVsFire]

ed boon sent me

[starfan]

Boon...

[Mmccormick88]

Kind of weird how this scene indirectly led to tons of electronic music via the amen break.

[scbikerdude]

never gets old

[Moionfire]

Who are the 3 losers who gave the thumbs down for this video??

[martind41yamamoto]

I love this sinema and this song. I love "Amen" forver ,Thank you so much!!!

[wokeupthismorning100]

Heaven, more like working your ass off for jack shit-the characteristics of HELL! :P

[kevinyankee2]

If only people would be interested in God more instead of themselves...

[scottfrenz]

I was amazed to learn this movie was made in only two weeks. I wonder how they built the chapel (and the construction scenes) in only two weeks. Must have had a lot of people working on it...either that or I don't know much about construction LOL.

[SPALSUM]

Welcome to Heaven

[Twoosy]

This is so chilling at the end when the bell sounds. God bless you so much for posting this entire movie.

[SupaHead1977]

for those who don't know who Jester Hairston is, he play Rarley(the old man) on the tv sitcom Amen....

[Logarian]

OH MY this takes me back to my childhood. Thank you soo much for posting this!

[matthewakian2]

Great song.

Now how do I get it on my Ipod.

[mikes230]

When was this movie made? I would like to get a copy of it.

[TheLizzie12]

I love this movie, and Mr Poitier is a GIANT! However, for this sequence, we MUST acknowledge JESTER HAIRSTON who 'ghosted' (sung) "Amen" for Mr P because the star was tone deaf (Mr P was also 'ghosted' in other films including Band of Angels and Porgy & Bess). Sorry to blow Mr P's cover, but I am also a big fan of Marni Nixon (Hollywood's most famous "ghost" singer) and justice has to be done (smile).

[bonyos16]

@TheLizzie12 that is very intuitive remarks amd how do you rmember these facts?

[Holly24tm]

I always watch this movie around Easter time. I absolutely love this song! One of my all time favorites! How can one not feel uplifted and full of joy after listening to this? AMEN!

[sevenlillies]

I came across this on TCM about a month ago and it blew me away. Stellar perfomances and a fantastic story. Amen!

[reving19]

Using the word "Amen" instead of "The End" to end this movie was an excellent decision. I do not think Hollywood would make a movie like this today. However, I'm glad it was made and am happy Sidney Poitier won an Oscar, even if he did win over Paul Newman in "Hud."

[erzbet07]

What REAL movie making and entertainment is about! A film for the ages! Thanks for sharing.

[Jackieis60]

A good-hearted movie that makes you a better person for having watched it. It makes me cry every time.

[SinyaaPyll]

Очень хороший и добрый фильм

[starrfan]

Never, ever to be duplicated!

[muzikkraz]

@starrfan

I concur. No one could light up a room (or scene) like Sidney Poitier.

[2007tuber]

To Sir with Love (#1) and this movie tie in my top ten.  Thanks for posting this amazing scene!

(Wish "they" could write like this, make movies like this.)

[polarkreis201]

after he sing "see the baby" and then this body language and the look in the camera is just lovely, love this movie i think it's my all time favorite blackwhite movie.

[honeybee33real]

i love this song... ths movie is the best

[zivoderac]

Aaaaa - meeeen ! Allelluiah !!

Тако се то ради ..!

[SRAneedsausername]

God I loved seeing this movie as a child

[MsJollycholly]

@SRAneedsausername - Me Too! Those NUNs, and Sidney P - priceless pair!

[scrapbookingangel57]

I love the movie and Sidney Poitier! This scene is so uplifting!

[bluesboy25000]

Great song. Used to sing it in Choir.

[TheSchmatto]

great movie, great actor; anyone know how he's going these days?

[AHighPwner]

my mom watched this the other day and she was crying. i dont know why and when i asked her she said i had to live during the time to understand why

[2007tuber]

@AHighPwner - well may I suggest you watch this amazing movie then! America was very different once. You could watch it together and talk after it's over...

[Goji938]

I love this song.. Love the movie..

[jimmyV1919]

this was his best movie, I have fond memories of watching this with my family

[winterweib]

As old as me and part of my life since the day I was born. Thank you, Mr. Poitier, for everything <3

[kentucky9000]

My favorite movie of all time...!

[blackcougar48]

I love this scene!!!

[ernesto7012]

Thank you for uploading this video, one of my favorite movies ever AMEN!

[3iv3rson]

I watched this movie about 20 years ago (I was 8 or 9) on TV...All I remember was that I was crying like a baby during this song, I remembered: Amen-Amen-Amen, black man and that he was walking in this scene..nothing else;) Since that time I was trying to found it. This song crossed my mind several time...and today I found it and it's one of the most exciting moment of my life... powerfull internet !!!

[Fatou28]

@3iv3rson : Wow, i'm touched by your story: this is a very nice happy ending for you. It's true that Internet makes miracles sometimes! AMEN (lol)

[Telly830]

I'm 17 and I love this man! <3 My grandma and I watch his movies all the time! (:

[MikeKrysta1]

The voice singing is Jester Hairston who wrote the song, he later played Rolly on the t.v series Amen

[uVueD2b]

@MikeKrysta1 His name rung a bell but I couldn't but my finger on it...thanks for putting two & two together!

Rollie was cool on that show...

[spidermonkey54321]

i remember watching this at my grandmas when i was little and i kept on thinking of this song and i could never find it, and here it is!

[Setebos]

Schmidt!!!!



[timberwolf520]

very good souvenirs of that super movie

[evandle5]

do anyone knwo how to play Amen on guitar song by sydney Poter

[atexasa]

Thankyou for having the clip here !!!!!!!!!

i cry everytime i see it and hear the song .... the clip is ageless .. life changing... everone in the world should see it !!!! AAAAAAA MEN !!!

[ureallysuckglobes]

This scene makes me tear up. I love this movie and I'm usually not big on old black and white movies.

[ASonOfLiberty1776]

Great film, great story, great actor, great song, great scene.

[tiffanywlls]

Jester Hairston wrote this song.He is also dubbing it for Mr.Poitier.Jester Hairston is "Rolly" on the show "Amen".

[JamesTKirkCobain]

That was a real chapel they built for the movie by the way, and right after fiming wrapped they had to tear it down because it was filmed on private land and they promised the owner it would be gone. What a fool, that thing could have still been standing and meant a lot to people.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

I`m an old fart and they use to play this movie to us kids in the gymnasium when I was in the 1st and 2nd grades in the 1960`s and I remember distinctly not once ever thinking it was a black guy around white nuns but thinking how nice he was as a man to do all those things for those nuns. It taught me later on that only adults judge people by race because of fear which is the true opposite of love, not hate, and that the true richness in life is gained by what we do for others.

[lapiz2b]

@JamesTKirkCobain Nice comment :D

[scottfrenz]

@JamesTKirkCobain Very nice.

[JamesEStephenson]

I was only 5 or 6 but I remember this movie because of the music and the fact that a black man was the lead actor. Danzel Washington credits Poirtier for opening up the lead roles to Blacks and getting Hollywood to open their minds. I loved the movie To Serve With Love as well. Poirtier is truley a great Actor!

[LilBlitz116]

@JamesEStephenson to sir with love

[JamesEStephenson]

@LilBlitz116 Thank you for the correction. Here is the link for you. Also my English brother-in-law lived in the East End of London in 1991 and I was able to visit it several times.

[JamesEStephenson]

@LilBlitz116 I had to take the Youtube Lulu link out of the message. Search Youtube for To Sir with Love to hear it.

[ABThatsMe91]

Makes me cry

[JamesEStephenson]

I just saw this movie a month ago and it was even better than I remembered it in the 1960's.

[quefirefly]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! This Movie...and This Scene...

[zuckermauseli]

Was wurden früher für wunderbare Filme gemacht. Dieser Film hat mich durch etliche Zeiten des Leben`s getragen. Segen, Humor, Gnade, Halleluja, Amen

[evergreenstater]

@zuckermauseli Amen. Sehr wahr

[ColinMeloy91]

[decw6144]

Will be leading my church choir for the 1st time ever this Easter Sunday,and Ipicked this song to sing.Thank you Jesus and thank God for you Sidney! HALLELUJAH!

[ChiefEaglefeather]

What a beautiful movie to be made in those days and that time. I was 3 when I saw that and still love it today. We sing this at our worship service. Its very powerful. Jesus is awesome. And I thank Sidney and all those involved with making that movie and music. God bless.

[Hippieshake1]

Love this song...The movie was great... Sydney a great actor...

[xanadukat]

I love this. When I die, I want it at my funeral. You are all my witnesses! lol

[HappyGirl01234567890]

Great movie. They just don't make them like that anymore. Such a sad, perfect, heart-wrenching ending.

[19ufo47]

Man, was this a great movie. 1963. Sydney Poitier was the first black to win an Oscar that year.

[milkypirate99]

Actually, it ws Hattie McDaniels for her performance in Gone With The Wind in 1939. Sidney Poitier was the first black person to win Best Actor.

[Jerseysson27]

I love this song, it is my song for the day that all people are free and more!

[sportsbra]

@Jerseysson27 if tou get the chance CHECK OUT THE MOVIE !IT'S COOL !

[Jerseysson27]

@sportsbra I shall. This will be my song for the day that all people be free and recognized as members of the human family. So, we can sing with glory, amen!

[warblerab]

@milkypirate99 "Actually, it ws Hattie McDaniels" yes, if you ask me she never gets the credit she deserves for winning that first oscar.

[SadlifeProduction]

@milkypirate99

Crazy how Hattie McDaniels wasn't even allowed to go to the premier.

[nagib1967]

amen, we are missing such movie now. sidney is simply the best.

[winterweib]

@nagib1967 My mother went with us children two hours by bus to the Kurfürstendamm in 1969 to show us the film in original version because we all loved it and Sidney Poitier so much. Those were the days...

[nintendaholic]

amen.

[stylelix]

This is the single greatest movie ending of all time. I haven't seen the movie but I already love it.

[EliDawn]

My mom used to sing this song to me when I was a kid, at least what she could remember of it. Thank you for putting it on youtube. It's a great memory.

[MartinRaetzJr]

Thanks for sharing. I saw this movie as I was a child and I never did forget this song.

[19babyjack55]

JESTER HAIRSTON?  I am always dazzled by the fact that somehow that amazing man was THE COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER at my very humble (St. Monica's) high school graduation! Picture Santa Monica, Califronia, late May (or perhaps early June?) 1973, and we're inside the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, site of some very memorable Oscar events in years past.

A grand piano was on hand, and Mr. Hairston played "Amen" and probably several others during his address.

[shotcalla134]

dude was cool

[evfich]

merry christmas.

[weathered79]

i love this movie this scene chokes me up sometimes

[MmeCherie]

We sing this song in our school choir, it's just great! ;)

[MikeKrysta1]

The great Jester Hairston is singing this. He wrote this song. I love hearing his voice!

[CJThaSavage]

Arguably the greatest actor ever and the greatest movie ever.

[jcatti01]

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Jester Hairston singing this? Preferably this particular version or similar? I've heard some of the remakes and I'm not quite as fond.

[bratrat]

Now, if I could just stop bouncing in my seat...lol!

Sweet clip!

[HidekiRevan]

I just saw this movie last night on TV :) awesome

[Juliaflo]

Anyone know who could play this part today?

[BigRoma1]

Samuel Jackson, Danny Glover, Morgan Freeman

[Juliaflo]

I pick Don Cheadle or Forrest Whitaker (he does sing).

[trppey66]

Very NICE!

[deeanna50]

Yea, these southern people have not clue.

[tvjeff53]

This is a great movie and Sidney Poitier does a great job in this movie this is a classic.

[PhillyGirl1]

love Sidney Poitier, liked the movie, love this song. 5stars

[sanchizmo77]

I like when he swings his arms. lol

[Gsharp10]

Sidney Poitier is an awesome actor. I think he won an academy award for this film (Lilies of the Field). This song is really wonderful, and a true "testament" to his fine acting skill.

[Xxmilkshake202xX]

he did win an oscar for it....he was actually the first black person to do so

[milkypirate99]

No, Hattie McDaniels was the first black person to win an Oscar for her performance in Gone With The Wind in 1939. Sidney Poitier was the first black person to win Best Actor.

[PtolemyJones]

@milkypirate99 He was the first black person to win an Oscar for 'it', as that would refer to this movie, specifically. Hehehe... I get you're point though.

[MZOFW]

@Xxmilkshake202xX  HATTIE MCDANIELS WAS THE FIRST BLACK PERON TO WIN AN OSCAR..

[Lala12dancer10]

o thats a cute chrismasy song!

[bershoboy55]

Best movie song of all time

[Edhallick]

This is one of those few films that you can literally call a work of art. Not many out there. It has absolutely no pretention about it, just a story in the most direct form like a Hemmingway novel.

[Arbitrage31]

This is one the greatest ever...I doubt if the angels can do a better job of AMEN!

[lavendardust]

milkypirate99 i love this song.  i never knew it to be a movie. thanks for posting. it's thrilling to hear the song. wish they'd make more movies like this.

[jodrum66]

ON WORD!!!.... AMEN!!!

[PeaceAndJustice357]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­VE This SONG with a Passion.

[alexalex3131]

When this film was released in 1963 it was truly a Godsend.

[alex01M9L1]

Lol..`i build a chapel..you build a chapel`..awesome movie..awesome actor :)

[Juliaflo]

I saw this movie in the theaters back in the 1960's, and I say...AMEN.

[mizikal]

I love this movie
