Siskel loveees Strangelove hahaha

As long as the libtard woke quota studios politicize and interfere with the creative process instead of film distribution and production, we will not experience this cinema experience again.

Speaking from the standpoint of a Born Again Christian, the words, "It's all right, it doesn't matter" would never be spoken by God. He didn't send His Son to die because "it doesn't matter". This was the devil.

Game recognize game.

We played this song at LewisFest ‘08! Pete Best joined us onstage! xoxo The Clarences

I’ve always disliked Smith, but I appreciate his honesty here. The most overrated crap movie in history is Clerks. What a dumpster fire.

My mother gave birth to an Alien, we called it Greg but I fought it fought for 20 years before it finally spilled over and became a human worthy of love. It joined the Marines and eats crayons now.

It's a great song. The Clarences played this song at LewisFest '08 in San Francisco. I was there. Landis is dumb.

Tarantino's executive producer was sexual predator Harvey Weinstein, and it would be easy to imagine that his transgressive, violent and inhumane films are a good match for Weinstein's psychopathic character.

Aronofsky is a talented, yet falls short of greatness as his films lack humour and take themselves too seriously. Not to be misunderstood, I enjoy most of the films he has made within the genre he works in. At the same time, I find his style highly cerebral and, for lack f a better way to put it, “throw out the baby out the baby with the bath water.” I would not put him in the canon with the great directors as there is a humanity that is missing. His characters seems to be there for some final bonfire and self destruction in order to lend his films some gravitas. With Fellini, one can take in tragedy and yet there is an element of joy and humor. The closest he comes to this is irony: his characters want to strive for more and in the end cause themselves to self-destruct as we see in The Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, Pi and The Wrestler. He is very good indeed, but falls short in excellence.

i dont like movies that give no explanation at the end. mostly

The Thriller video was overrated. i agree

i never cared for trading places.

it really is funny. animal house.

i love the ending of Ap now. sorry gene

I’ll always have Planes and Trains as my fav Hughes film, Pretty In Pink coming in second, but I wanna say a couple things about his underrated titles, Curly Sue and Dutch. Now, they are both very predictable and formulaic, but I really liked those two flicks. Curly Sue had great chemistry between the two main characters and Curly Sue herself, stealing every scene she’s in. Also the movie theater scene still makes me laugh out loud to this day, along with the maid and her gambling with the two on the clock 😅. Now Dutch was both panned by S&E and pretty much the rest of America, and I can understand why. And maybe it’s because I grew up with these movies starting at a young age and my nostalgia goggles for them turned into laser eye surgery but Ed O Neal, I thought, was very likable, not overly abrasive, and had great chemistry with the kid. To this day there are 3 scenes that still make me crack up loudly and I admit I still have a goofy smile throughout the rest of the flick. Are these two movies great? No. Are they objectively bad? Probably. But I like Curly Sue and Dutch darn it, and I think they still have a couple of very good redeeming qualities.

Gene forgets that the purpose of being a teen is to make knuckle-headed decisions that defy good judgement.

6:06 that sounds like it was on the set of the live action bits of Osmosis Jones.

Na.. The movie still sucks. Pretentious nonsense. Just watch Boogie Nights instead. I can't stand people who go on about Magnolia .. calling it a 'Cinematic Operatic Masterpiece'. 😂give me a break. It's crap.

Big trouble is the best movie ever

That interview at the end is everything! My favorite is “He Got Game” but I enjoy most of his films. No director,(outside of Kubrick), bats 1,000 the point is to take risks.

BC, WS, FBDO, PT&A, UB - my top 5 Hughes picks.

A compilation of Siskel & Ebert (And Michaela Pereira for one) reviewing the films of Ron Shelton I included some of his writing credits, too, though I stopped before Bad Boys II for a couple reasons: I couldn't find both movies he directed right before it, so it made for a good stopping point, and also Shelton only wrote a draft of Bad Boys II, so it barely counts. I'll save it for the Michael Bay episode. So here we have the run from the Shelton penned The Best of Times (1986) to Play it to the Bone (1999) Primarily for educational purposes, but enjoy however you see fit!

Thx for this 🍻🍻🍻

Thank you so much for this colossal amount of work you put in your videos, i adore these two (even if i do not always agree with their opinions) and their thoughtful rich discussions, which make you want to revisit all these movies again and appreciate them even more! Thats why your compilations are just a gem for movie-lovers!!! Please continue making them ❤

I always get Peter Weir & Peter Hyams confused. Also I get Dermot Mulroney and Dillon McDermott confused.

I can't think of a bad Harrison Ford Movie. If it exists, I like a link to it

9:30 despite all the Hitchcock hype its Repulsion that is De Palma's main influence--Tarantino knows one or two things about movies... fax!!!

where is the full conversation please?

I saw it in theaters as an 11 year old, WOW did it get to me. That queen reveal was the coolest thing ide ever seen

one of my favourite tarantino films...the cast was just perfect fit

My childhood perception of the Indian and the Cupboard was far closer to Ebert’s guess than Siskel’s

5:10…. You also have to remember that this is the same guy that told Lucy liu straight up that she was a horrible actress and the movie will suck simply because of her.

Action horror is a lost film genre

Personally I love both Mean Streets and the Exorcist.

I like the video opening. Good work. And thank you.

I wish I could find the name of the artist who did the poster for Secret Honor.

Tarantino's best movie.

This is a truly weird setup, but Tarantino's passion for film in general and his films specifically is what carries this whole segment. The best part of films is how we all differ in our opinions and interpretations of it, and Tarantino gets that

i found gangs of new york boring as f except for DDL

i have only seen the departed once because its way overacted especially by Jack N. also its totally absurd that the pschiatrist would be screwing her 2 most flawed patients. contrived poppycock.

when i first saw the aviator i thought Leo was miscast, thinking he was too young for the part, but now think its oscar material for him. The only miscast was Kate Beck-she almost ruins the experience for me

bringing out the dead sucked. but otherwise great opinions 1:37:50 by ebert

I like blow out but the hooker character is annoyingly dumb.

Those five movies he mentions around the minute mark really are triumphs. Im always watching one of them over the course of a couple days as i use my television as sort of a fireplace. I add mighty Aphrodite and Deconstructing Harry to my go-to's as well.

Ashame no 3 Women. And Ebert really liked it, from his written review. At least we got a Brewster McCloud mention, and lots of Short Cuts!

Movie quality has gone so far down over the years. NOw we're in the pits.

This movie hit me differently when it was released. It was excessively violent like all his movies. Paul Schraders script was the main reason of its ultimate sucess.

Siskel is so clueless and does not appreciate Hughes. Pretty sad to see. A critic with only high-brow taste. As so many of Hughes movies are now classics we can see who got it and who didn't.

Michael Keaton, who was in Jackie Brown, summed up being a critic perfectly in Birdman.
