Finally watched “Mulholland Drive” last week and I agree with these critics 100%. I loved it!
Amazing movie, 10/10
👍😉
I saw it in 2002, and sort of liked it...then watched it again this year (2022) and loved it. TH-cam explanations helped me understand it so much more. It’s really good. I’ll probably love it even more with a third viewing.
Timeless classic
It makes no sense
Vanilla Sky is highly underrated
I agree. I've always like it. Great mindfuck of a movie.
Roper really spoils the ending when he compares it to The Matrix. That's information you don't find out until the final 20 minutes of a movie that's nearly two hours long. Weird that he would be so careless with a movie he regarded as one of the top ten movies of the year.
I wrote a paper on it for film theory. 2,000 words on the first 5 minutes. Great film. It was the first film that I saw what film can be.
Just for fun watch the original Spanish language version "Abre Los Ojos". Penelope Cruz plays the Cameron Diaz (crazy girl) part. Very basic with none of the s/fx of VS, but it's still a great story.
I thought it was good but could have, should have been better.
the original (abre los ojos) is much better
Memento would be my fav of that year, I remember seeing it in the theater and right after I couldn't wait to see it again, amd went the next weekend and did.
@E McSquare In keeping with the theme of the movie: maybe you saw it once or you saw it dozens of times! Also, did you notice mysterious clues in the form of tattoos you never had before? (Ha-ha!)
But yeah, of E&R's list, I would also pick it as the best that year, because even if you have it figured one way, it can also be determined in another! Truly great film!
I'm convinced that Roger's enthusiastic review of "Monster's Ball", and especially his praise of Halle Berry contributed greatly to her winning Best Actress.
I think that's true. Other critics loved her performance and the movie, but his prominent praise was probably the key motivating factor for Lions Gate to finance an award campaign. I wouldn't doubt his influence over the attention drawn to Charlize Theron or Hilary Swank (both times) either.
100% his strong love for the film definitely played a part in pushing her to win Best Actress (as his surviving wife, Chaz is a black woman)
Or he just praised the movie and halle won because she was the best that year. Had nothing to do with ebert. If that's the case, siskel would have had influence on silence of the lambs Oscar run since he hated it.
@@ericryanyawl9401 nah in a million yrs. Halle Berry gave one of the best performances of all time
"Mulholland Drive" happens to be my choice for the best movie of that decade.
That's a weird way to spell "Shallow Hal"
Same
I only watched it once, many years ago, close to the time it had theater run in US on hbo or something, and I liked it, couldn’t stop watching it, but didn’t really understand what I was watching. Really want to watch it again. I’ve seen the opening with the two men in the diner about 100 times on TH-cam , it’s so perfect and creepy, dreadful yet humorous. Need to give it a second chance.
my choice for best of the 21st century
So happy to see Ebert give Waking Life its just due.
It was great, sad there weren't much more similarly inventive films later.
Both that movie and Linklater's A Scanner Darkly made me feel like I was on a drug trip. i don't say that as if it were a bad thing.
Lynch and Linklater making Ebert’s Top 10! Man, if only that could happen again.
Memento still hurts my brain. Just brilliant
Best movie Nolan has ever made
Perfect use case for reverse chronological order scene play. Seinfeld employed this technique last season, wasn't as effective. I remember Seinfeld pushing this episode I believe on Larry King. The episode was panned. I suspect this went a long way in Jerry making the call to end the series.
For me it would be mulholland drive. So unique and creative. You only get such movies every once in a while.
I specifically remember watching Memento in the theater, halfway through the movie I thought to myself: Holy f*****g s**t!! This movie is like a phenomenal Hitchcock thriller combined with a classic Agatha Christie murder mystery. At that point I already knew the rest of the movie would be equally fantastic, and it was
👏👏👏👍
Back when Nolan used to make good films
Your lucky you saw it in a theatre i didnt see it until it appeared on t.v but i do love it
@@jothishprabu8 I dont think there was ever a time when Nolan made bad films
@@jothishprabu8He still makes great films
"Wit" gets my vote for saddest movie of all time.
2001 so close an so far away. A different world all together
I can see why Roper put Shallow Hal in his top 10 as it really hit home.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s so embarrassing for him.
I don't get it, you gotta break this one down for me lol.
Wit. Sounds like a real joyful film experience! Violent eye roll here.
It's the perfect film if you're looking for something to cry at. I doubt anyone is impervious to it.
They're right about Memento being around for a long time. I still watch it from time to time. I always get something more out of it.
A Beautiful Mind won best picture if anyone is wondering.
Setting aside my bias for animated movies, Memento would be my favorite movie of 2001. :)
I think my favourites from that year would be In The Bedroom and Ghost World.
@@langdonalger9219 I have yet to see those.
@@zacharysiple629 Ghost World is a great movie. Really underrated film
@@MisfitsFiendClub138 I'll look out for it, thanks! :)
The children burn unit scene was the epiphany moment of the movie
Everybody remember Monsters ball only for the sex scene but it was actually an amazing movie with phenomenal performances
Liked a lot Mulholland Drive, loved Memento, Ghost World and Waking Life, of course A Beautiful Mind and The Fellowship of the Ring, also The Majestic, I Am Sam, Kate & Leopold.
My two fav fills of the year didn’t make the list (A.I. and Donnie Darko) but A.I. did later make Ebert’s Great Films series
Im surprised that neither Richard nor Roger picked anniversary party as one of the best ten. It's was smart well written and directed and a very good story. Good casting all around and very good movie!!!!

I implore firstmagnitude or whomever at siskelebert.org to snag this for their site. I had this posted 2014-2016 on my old account before it was zapped for copyright problems (although I don't think the Ebert & Roeper videos had anything to do with that).

6. Monster’s Ball
7. Gosford Park

NOTE: Memento isn’t here because it’s on my best of 2000 list. Strange how depending on the source release dates are different.
I think you're making the mistake of relying on IMDb title markers for release years. It's best not to do that, as it'll mess you up. "Memento" didn't receive a theatrical release in North America until the Spring of 2001. Prior to that, only film festival audiences had seen it, and public audiences in some European and Asian countries. IMDb will mark a film according to the year it first played anywhere (in this case, the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals) but that's often misleading. Everyone in the movie business relies on theatrical release dates in their own country for compiling annual lists because it's a critic's job to review what plays in their local theatres and that's also the first time anyone in their locale got to see the movie! That's why "Memento" was nominated at the 74th Academy Awards for movies released in 2001.
The same concept applies to "Spirited Away". Only Japanese and other Asian audiences were able to see it in 2001. The North American release was in 2002, and it was nominated at the 75th Academy Awards for that year. If you lived in, say, Portugal it would count as a 2003 film!
@@flaccidusminimus2170 I guess but I consider films released on their original release dates like I consider Saludos Amigos to be released in 1942 for example not 1943.
@@AnimationNation2004 You can do that, but it's worth bearing in mind that you wouldn't have been able to see it in 1942 unless you lived in South America or New Zealand.
It also leaves you with the problem of how to count movies that originally played somewhere like the Cannes Film Festival, which is an invite-only event for film industry professionals and the press, not open to the public. But IMDb won't make any distinction between a screening and an actual distributed release.
5 Shrek
4 In the Bedroom
3 Beautiful Mind
2 Memento
1 Black Hawk Down
@@AnimationNation2004 He's saying (correctly) it was not available to watch in any regard until 2001 so it's silly to put it in a personal 2000 list to the point it's meaningless. That's like saying Zack Snyder's Justice League is a 2017 film just because the raw footage existed and Zack showed it one time to the cast then.
I really love memento too
This makes me realize how much better American films were in the late nineties early 2000’s. Scorsese is right. Enough sequels, enough unoriginality.
His new movie is going to be a treat in today's society.
The government should step in and ban superheroes
I did think there was a pretty big decline starting '05 or '06 and then more so '07, loved the era of 1998-2004 (or 1993-2004).
@@suarezguyThere have been great movies post 2007
@@danerook Not that many.
Put the Ebert and roper videos on the wayback machine
Little mystified by some of the omissions here. My top ten:
1) Sexy Beast
2) The Pledge
3) Ghost World
4) Mulholland Drive
5) Memento (not really a 2001 film)
6) The Royal Tenenbaums
7) Wit
8) Amores Perros
9) Black Hawk Down
10) Dogtown And Z-boys
Why be arbitrary? Sexy Beast and Amores Perros would also count as "not really 2001 films" if you're gonna play post-hoc with the rules and ignore local availability + theatrical release dates.

I worked in a cinema in 2001 and don't remember any of these from that year - Only Vanilla Sky but in 2002- In the U.K momento was released in 2000? Black Hawk Down in 2002?
Not even A Beautiful Mind or Shallow Hal? You must have worked in a small theatre, because those were major multiplex movies. Black Hawk Down didn't come out until after Christmas, and the others were relatively off the beaten track. You'd need an indie theatre in your town to see them, although a few of them like Monster's Ball and Gosford Park could be found in large megaplexes that had space for less popular movies.
How is it possible each one's top movie wasn't even on the other's list. That's crazy.
It also happened to Siskel & Ebert in 1978, 1988, and 1997.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 wow you follow those details that closely? What other interesting trivia do you got?
@@OrangeflavaI know as much about Siskel & Ebert as it is possible for an outsider to know. I know where Siskel's 3 kids are today and the career paths they've pursued. I've even read some of his daughter's published poetry.
I couldn't tell you much about Roeper as I never cared about him much.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 oh wow! I am a big fan and know a lot but you take it to the next level. Hope his kids are doing well!
Question for you: do you know the only review where siskel changed eberts mind to a thumbs up(or maybe it was a down)? I remember seeing it on tv once long ago but cannot remember which movie review it was. Thanks!
@@Orangeflava I think you have it reversed. It was SIskel who changed, not Ebert. The movie is Broken Arrow in 1996. Siskel gave the introductory review and concluded it as a mild recommendation, but Roger's subsequent comments persuaded him that it should be a Thumbs Down vote. He switched it in the middle of the conversation.
There were other occasions where Gene tried to tease and intimidate Roger into changing his vote, but it never officially happened. There are Thumbs Down reviews from Roger on television that later appeared in print as positive reviews (like "Pelle The Conqueror"), and other occasions like with "Babe" and "The Full Monty" where his comments on television demonstrate more enthusiasm than his print reviews reflected.
The only time Ebert decisively flipped his thumb on air was with Roeper in 2005 for a movie called "In My Country". It began Up, Roeper persuaded him to vote Down.
I wonder where Ebert and Roeper were when the world Trade Center were Hit?.
Chicago, naturally.
Roger was at the Toronto Film Festival that week. I don't think Roeper got free rides to festivals back then, so he was probably home or at the Sun-Times office.
My top 10 of 2001:
1. Spirited Away
2. A Beautiful Mind
3. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
4. Training Day
5. Black Hawk Down
6. Donnie Darko
7. Mulholland Drive
8. Monster’s Ball
9. Ocean’s Eleven
10. Shrek
Spirited Away is one of the greatest films ever made.
Do you have the worst of 2001?
Frailty would be on my list.
That hit theatres in April 2002, so it was next year's movie.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 someone should edit the Wikipedia lol it says November 7th 2001
@@ameliathornhill7131 Yeah that is a bit misleading. It played at a small film festival in November 2001, but public audiences didn't get to see it in theatres until the following year. Ebert & Roeper reviewed it on their show the same week as "Changing Lanes" and "The Sweetest Thing".
@@flaccidusminimus2170 I remember seeing it in theatres when it came out .regardless of date then I would of put it on my list for 02.super underrated movie honestly
Can't not say Fellowship/Black Hawk Down, but Memento is still Nolan's best and Mulholland Drive gets better everytime I see it!
Mulholland Drive had an amazing lezbo scene
They overlooked Jackpot.
Roger didn't like it, it probably received Two Thumbs Down as most critics trashed it. At no point has it ever been popular with audiences either.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 I’m sure you’re speaking for yourself.
@@RONALDB62 No, I haven't seen it. My comments are empirically verifiable. I'm only unsure of Roeper's opinion, but it's likely they were in unison, as they typically were.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 it has developed into a cult type movie. People were unsure what to make of it at the time, the quirky performances really make the movie for me. Outstanding acting by all. And first movie shot in 24P HD.
Vanilla Sky was good but could have been better, I think a lot of the music used was too overt and/or unneeded.
Can’t believe training day didn’t make either of their lists
It didn't make many - it wasn't a critic favorite, still isn't, and never will be. Roeper hated Training Day, thinking of it as a laughable cartoon on steroids. Ebert gave it a marginally positive review, acknowledging its absurdities while believing the strong performances sold it. On television, it made for an amusing disagreement. A rare instance (maybe the only one) where they disagreed on three or four consecutive movies.
I thought it was good up until the final fight between Ethan and Denzel. Still good enough to put it on my top 10 list though
Clearly it was a great year for films. In my recollection I thought In the Bedroom and Memento were far away the best of the Anglo/American films and I would defiintely have had The Royal Tennenbaums on my Top Ten . I feel sorry that Roeper must be haunted by his choices of Shallow Hal and Vanilla Sky ( fine but nothing speccial espescially compared to original) especially in a year with films like YiYi, Sexy Beast . I would argue that Memento would be worthy of being considered the English Language film of the specific decade with In the Mood For Love being the Best film of the decade ( if only because it is my favorite film of all time ) .
Roeper giving Shallow Hal his 10th best???
Why does Ebert start at 8?
As he says at the beginning, they'll be discussing SELECTED titles, then at the end they'll run through the each list in its entirety.
The way it usually worked on this show (as before with Siskel) is that each guy would submit their complete lists to the producers who would then pick highlights for each guy to discuss at length. On a half hour program, that provides more time for in-depth discussion and cross-talk than you'd get if they rushed through the titles.
Waking Life was not nominated for Best Animated Feature. Monsters Inc and Shrek deserved nominations, but Jimmy Neutron? Really?
18:42 Rog really missing Gene
The ones that Richard "wouldn't have at all" are Black Hawk Down and Ghost World which he only gave lukewarm recommendations to. And Roger is being nice by saying earlier "it's interesting how many of your picks could have been on my Top 10 list". There are 3 that overlap, then he says "4 of yours I wouldn't have at all" meaning there are *only 3 others* that he would have considered for his own list!
19:09
Shallow Hal? Really Roeper?
It doesn't hold up well, but both Gene and Roger had worse movies on their lists at various points.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 such as?
@@langdonalger9219 For my money: "Husbands", "The Last of Sheila", "The Day Of The Dolphin", "Buffalo Bill and the Indians", "Animal House", "The Stunt Man", "American Gigolo", "Mon Oncle D'Amerique", "Betrayal", "Star 80", "The Big Chill", "Prizzi's Honor" and that's taking us just to 1985 (and most of those were Siskel's choices). I'd sooner sit through "Shallow Hal" again than any of those.
They also agreed on some beloved films that I despise and think insult the intelligence. "Shallow Hal" also does that while having very narrow ambitions but at least it has some laughs in it.
@@langdonalger9219 Roger loved The Crying Game-1992.
I saw it with my Grandma and neither of us enjoyed it.
There are also some movies that are good but not worthy of their spot. Siskel in 1998 called Babe: Pig In The City the best movie of the year- a year with Saving Private Ryan, The Big Leboswki, and maybe a couple others.
Even though it's animated, I would put The Prince of Egypt at #1, because that is my favorite movie! :)
@@zacharysiple629 The Crying Game wouldn’t really be a controversial choice. It was a pretty well received film. Sorry you and your grandma didn’t like it.

The thumbnail is a bit of a spoiler.
As is the video description. Suspense isn't the point - the lists have been available for 20 years.
I chose the thumbnail most likely to attract attention, as people will probably want to hear what they have to say about Memento more so than any other movie covered here.
I went to see Amores Perros with my mom at the movie theater and we had to walk away out because the dog fighting scenes were too real. And just like Ebert, I also don’t believe that “no dogs were harmed during the making of this picture”, if you love dogs don’t ever watch that movie.
Shallow Hal? Okkkkaaaay.
Combined these are the worst or maybe least interesting lists I remember the show having, which holds respect as normally Rog was on point. This is a rough watch though, for a quite good year in retrospect
Shallow Hal in the top 10? No thanks
Praise for Shallow Hal didn’t age well.
Waking Life a breakthrough in animation? Please. It's called rotoscoping from the Max Fleischer era. Ralph Bakshi used it. ..and there's no reason for it. What's the point of painting over actors in film? It's not "animation" at all. Ebert you know nothing about movies and you should just go be a chocolate salesman or something.

Not great?, I thought it was a strong year for movies. There was also A.I, Amelie, Donnie Darko, Spirited Away, Zoolander, Lord of the rings, The Man Who Wasn't There and the movies in their top 10. I also thought Steve Zahn was great in Riding in cars with boys, though the movie as a whole wasn't quite as good as it could've been.
Shallow hal is the worst movie of that year
I thought A Beautiful Mind was soooo overrated.
Shallow Hal was fucking terrible, is Roeper insane? The Farrley Brothers first 3 films (Dumb and dumber, Kingpins, Something about mary) were good, and everything after was awful. Until Green Book which is just pretty good but somehow won best Picture.
Shallow Hal?
Jesus Christ.
monsters ball was and is terrible.
Shallow Hal is beyond awful.
Except black hawk down. Every movie was horrible on both lists
Remarkably well-staged battle sequences, but beyond the technical accomplishment I think it's a pretty facile piece of work practically amounting to war propaganda. But it still appears to be quite well liked...so whatever.
