Had Gene Siskel lived my guess is his top 10 of the 1990s would look something like this: 1. Hoop Dreams 2. Babe: Pig in the City 3. Goodfellas 4. The Thin Red Line 5. Pulp Fiction 6. Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse 7. Schindler’s List 8. Fargo 9. Ed Wood 10. Short Cuts
Both of them throwing down solid top 10's! A rare treat to see Scorsese release a kind of ranking like this, however reductive it may be. I remember at the time, this episode allowed me to rethink my initial negative impression of The Thin Red Line. It also introduced me to Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy. That being said, no mention of: Secrets & Lies / Life Is Sweet Ratcatcher Unforgiven Jackie Brown *(although Ebert mentioned Pulp Fiction) To Die For Boogie Nights / Magnolia Barton Fink / Big Lebowski *(although they both mentioned Fargo) 12 Monkeys Eve's Bayou (in particular, not making Ebert's list, since this was his favorite of 98)
I know he probably liked Fargo, but i do remember Siskel really singing Fargos praises even loving it head and shoulders above Big Lebowski. So i cant help but think it influenced his decision
Really funny how Scorsese’s movies have these loud harsh characters who curse in every fucking sentence while he is soft spoken and almost embarrassed at the praise he’s getting by Ebert.
Aside from the Red White and Blue trilogy, I've seen every film on both of their lists. Scorsese's top 4 picks were by far the most interesting and contemplative, all of them quite slow and surreal almost as if they were from another planet.
Too slow - Eyes Wide Shut was a mediocre film that gets acclaim because of its director. I understand the movie was aiming high, and who cares about that as it ended up being a marginal movie.
How did you see A Borrowed Life? I am shocked given its placement here how little information I can find about it and its director. It is one of the very few movies I have ever not been able to find at the massive video rental store I go to.
Nice video - Gene Siskel is missed here, of course - here are Siskel's #1 90s films for each year - 90 Goodfellas 91 Hearts of Darkness 92 One False Move 93 Schindler’s List 94 Hoop Dreams 95 Crumb 96 Fargo 97 Ice Storm 98 Babe Pig in the City
The Thin Red Line was a BIG Comeback for Terence Malick:) Secret to EWS is the Billiard table scene-when you see newspapers in fore/background your''re getting truth. When they disappear Tom Cruise is being lied to.Stanley Kubrick was clever:)
I couldn't agree more. Ebert is my all time fav critic. He had such diverse tastes and Scorcese, arguably the best director to ever live, love his insight into what moves him as a viewer of cinema.
This is my list. I couldnt stop at 10. 1 Titanic 2 Terminator 2 3 Forrest Gump 4 The Shawshank Redemption 5 Pulp Fiction 6 Schindlers List 7 Braveheart 8 Dances With Wolves 9 The Silence of the Lambs 10 Goodfellas 11 True Lies 12 Eyes Wide Shut 13 Unforgiven 14 Saving Private Ryan 15 The Matrix 16 Jurassic Park 17 Jerry Maguire 18 Good Will Hunting 19 LA Confidential 20 Fargo 21 As Good As It Gets 22 Beauty and the Beast 23 Fight Club 24 American Beauty 25 Tombstone 26 The Matrix 27 Notting Hill 28 The Lion King 29 The Cider House Rules 30 The Green Mile 31 Speed 32 Die Hard With A Vengeance 33 Little Women 34 A Few Good Men 35 Heat 36 The Sixth Sense 37 Pretty Woman 38 The Fifth Element 39 Sense & Sensibility 40 The English Patient 41 Kindergarten Cop 42 Mission Impossible 43 Liar Liar 44 Sleepless in Seattle 45 The Fugitive 46 Total Recall 47 Theres Something About Mary 48 Seven 49 Dark City 50 Edward Scissorhands 51 Shakespeare in Love 52 You've Got Mail 53 Star Trek: First Contact 54 The Usual Suspects 55 Scream 56 Toy Story 2 57 Mrs. Doubtfire 58 GoldenEye 59 Contact 60 Ed Wood 61 Four Weddings and A Funeral 62 The Truman Show 63 Independence Day 64 Men in Black 65 Jackie Brown 66 Thelma & Louise 67 Reservoir Dogs 68 Gross Point Blank 69 Leaving Las Vegas 70 While You Were Sleeping 71 Dazed and Confused 72 Casino 73 Rainmaker 74 Falling Down 75 Fried Green Tomatoes 76 Crimson Tide 77 Clueless 78 True Romance 79 Leon: The Professional 80 Con Air 81 Election 82 The Firm 83 Who Framed Roger Rabbit 84 12 Monkeys 85 Misery 86 Galaxy Quest 87 Pleasantville 88 The Insider 89 Legends of The Fall 90 Far and Away 91 Ever After 92 Blast from The Past 93 The Rock 94 Conspiracy Theory 95 Cop Land 96 Days of Thunder 97 The Thin Red Line 98 Stargate 99 Awakenings 100 Forever Young Truly one of the greatest decades in film history. To me, the 70s, 80s and 90s are the Second Golden Age of Cinema
just about every movie you listed here is a classic and i completely agree with the 70s-90s being the second golden age. A shame we havent seen anything close to this explosion in entertainment, creativity and talent since the 90s ended, in every avenue: movies, tv, sports, etc.
My Top 90s picks and I’m basing this off of my Top 50 of all time list. 18 films made my 50 so I added 2 more to make it an even 20. 1. The Shawshank Redemption 2. The Green Mile 3. Saving Private Ryan 4. Pulp Fiction 5. Apollo 13 6. Schindler’s List 7. Fantasia 2000 (This and the original had a tied slot on my top 50) 8. American Beauty 9. The Hunchback of Notre Dame 10.

Jurassic Park 19. Forrest Gump 20. Fargo
Roger bemoaning Pulp Fiction inspiring lame copycat attempts by young filmmakers who "knew the words, but not the music" is a bang on assessment. There's a risk of shallow appreciation of Pulp Fiction that can obscure the deeper themes at play.
Top 10: Best Films Of The 1990's 1. Schindler's List (1993) 2. Pulp Fiction (1994) 3. Goodfellas (1990) 4. Fargo (1996) 5. Hoop Dreams (1994) 6. JFK (1991) 7. Malcolm X (1992) 8. The Thin Red Line (1998) 9. Eyes Wide Shut (1999) 10. Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, and Goodfellas stood out amongst the whole decade for me. I’ll always remember the first time I saw those great films.
1. The Thin Red Line 2. Unforgiven 3. Goodfellas 4. Crumb 5. The Silence of the Lambs 6. The Age of Innocence 7. The Remains of the Day 8. Deconstructing Harry 9. Miller's Crossing 10.Husbands and Wives
One per director (or I'll have to put Casino and Boogie Nights in my top 5) 1. Goodfellas 2. Magnolia 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Silence of the Lambs 5. LA Confidential 6. Heat 7. Fargo 8. Glengarry Glen Ross 9. The Straight Story 10. A Perfect World (had to put one of Clint's, since I'm not big on Unforgiven, there it is).
It's blatantly obvious regardless of opinion that Pulp Fiction ended up being the most influential film of the 90's when one looks at everything it accomplished within cinema and pop culture as a whole.
Amazing directors -M.S. & S.K. GoodFellows-One of my most favourite! Eyes Wide Shut-love this movie! It’s very deep & so real about the truth of relationships.
I'll take a crack, in no order: Lone Star, Pulp Fiction, Heat, Chungking Express, The Commitments, Boogie Nights, Rushmore, Being John Malkovich, American Movie, The Scent of Green Papaya
My favorite films of the 1990's: 1. Pulp Fiction 2. Forrest Gump 3. Where the Heart is 4. Hamlet 5. Ed Wood 6. The Age of Innocence 7. The English Patient 8. Apollo 13 9. Husbands and Wives 10. Thelma and Louise So there
My list would be 1. The Shawshank Redemption 2. Schindler's List 3. Forrest Gump 4. Searching for Bobby Fischer 5. Fargo 6. Beauty and the Beast 7. Titanic 8. Jurassic Park 9. Babe 10. Groundhog Day

It's impossible to disagree with any of these....but for personally I'd have to add Legends of the Fall The love triangle might be wild but for me easily believable for back then. And it is so well performed and an epic emotional rollercoaster...I also loved true romance written by Quentin T.....fun movie with really memorable moments
I don't go year by year when it comes to my favorite movies. I go more decade by decade. The 90's best movie is Goodfellas. Followed by Shawshank Redemption, Fargo, the Full Monty. The Crying Game deserves an honorary spot.
Here’s my list: 1. Heat 2. Before Sunrise 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Gattaca 5. Hoop Dreams 6. The Freshman 7. Dances With Wolves 8. Dead Man 9. Schindlers List 10. Apollo 13

12:10 damn Martin S said it now and then such ass superhero movies they are awful no hope full of fake and false life choices Im done with superhero sh*t too much good indie and old movies i can watch
my top 10 list 1 goodfellas 2 nobodys fool 3 nixon 4 the shawshank redemption 5 apollo 13 6 city slickers 7 phenomenon 8 the american president 9 heat 10 jfk
Don't enjoy Pulp Fiction as much as I used to... I think I'm tired of Samuel Jackson. The longer I live, the more I find "Heat", "Goodfellas" and "Truman Show" to be endearing. Movies like Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Fargo, Lebowski, etc seem to have lost their rewatchability. I can't explain it.
My top 10 of the 90s 👇👇👇👇👇 10. Good Will Hunting 09. Schindler's List 08. Fight Club 07. The Fugitive 06. Before Sunrise 05. Leaving Las Vegas 04. Pulp Fiction 03. Se7en 02. The Matrix 01. Hana Bi
My predication on what gene Siskel would’ve picked for his best films of the 1990s: 10. Goodfellas 9. Pulp fiction 8. Ice Storm 7. Hearts of Darkness 6. Schilders List 5. One false move 4. Hoop Dreams 3. Toy Story 2. Crumb 1. Fargo
it should not bother me or you what another person does or does not pick as their favorite films, but i have been watching a lot of old episodes of Siskel and Ebert on here lately and oh my god both Roger and Gene bring up Hoop Dreams in episodes so often it should be a drinking game. i dont know maybe i have a chip on my shoulder as a kid that grew up super poor and was always the tallest kid in school so i got bothered CONSTANTLY about whether i played basketball, but i feel like they just had some sort of middle class white liberal guilt obsession with that doc.
It IS a great movie, though. Basketball had a significant connection for Chicago in the 90s that gives it a bump, for sure, but they also seek to highlight it because it was so notoriously snubbed at the Oscars despite being the clear-cut winner in its category.
There’s also something about the term “Greatest Movies,” I think, in that I don’t think Ebert would argue it’s the most entertaining movie by any means. But it’s an *important* movie, for sure.
@@alexanderdickens2517 I disagree. I think it's a very entertaining movie, because even though it's a documentary, it plays like a fiction film. And a great one at that.
@@Jamthecoolerator I don't think it's flat-out not entertaining. I just don't believe that "Greatest Movie" literally equates to raw entertainment value. It encompasses much more than that. Maybe I'm wrong.
I think Hoop Dreams and Horse Thief are a bit snooty. There were sooo many other great films to choose from.. Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Shawshank Redemption, Jurassic Park, Good Will Hunting, Silence of the Lambs, Truman Show, Apollo 13... The list goes on and on.

Had Gene Siskel lived my guess is his top 10 of the 1990s would look something like this:
1. Hoop Dreams

4. The Thin Red Line
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse
7. Schindler’s List

9. Ed Wood
10. Short Cuts
I could listen these two talk about movies for hours! Thanks for the upload
Both of them throwing down solid top 10's! A rare treat to see Scorsese release a kind of ranking like this, however reductive it may be. I remember at the time, this episode allowed me to rethink my initial negative impression of The Thin Red Line. It also introduced me to Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy. That being said, no mention of:
Secrets & Lies / Life Is Sweet
Ratcatcher
Unforgiven
Jackie Brown *(although Ebert mentioned Pulp Fiction)
To Die For
Boogie Nights / Magnolia
Barton Fink / Big Lebowski *(although they both mentioned Fargo)
12 Monkeys
Eve's Bayou (in particular, not making Ebert's list, since this was his favorite of 98)
I’m surprised that neither of them mentioned The Truman Show, Saving Private Ryan, Good Will Hunting, or Jurassic Park
@@seymourpant I agree with all four!
I know he probably liked Fargo, but i do remember Siskel really singing Fargos praises even loving it head and shoulders above Big Lebowski. So i cant help but think it influenced his decision
Siskel listed Fargo as one of his favorite movies of all time
I just find Fargo and Lebowski so forgettable... good movies, but not worth a second watch.
Although The Big Lebowski is a fun watch, Fargo is a far superior and more interesting movie.
Really funny how Scorsese’s movies have these loud harsh characters who curse in every fucking sentence while he is soft spoken and almost embarrassed at the praise he’s getting by Ebert.
Aside from the Red White and Blue trilogy, I've seen every film on both of their lists. Scorsese's top 4 picks were by far the most interesting and contemplative, all of them quite slow and surreal almost as if they were from another planet.
Too slow - Eyes Wide Shut was a mediocre film that gets acclaim because of its director. I understand the movie was aiming high, and who cares about that as it ended up being a marginal movie.
How did you see A Borrowed Life? I am shocked given its placement here how little information I can find about it and its director. It is one of the very few movies I have ever not been able to find at the massive video rental store I go to.
WITHOUT A DOUBT - GOODFELLAS & HEAT........🎞🎞🎞📽📽📽
Nice video - Gene Siskel is missed here, of course - here are Siskel's #1 90s films for each year -

91 Hearts of Darkness
92 One False Move
93 Schindler’s List
94 Hoop Dreams
95 Crumb
96 Fargo
97 Ice Storm
98 Babe Pig in the City
The Thin Red Line was a BIG Comeback for Terence Malick:)
Secret to EWS is the Billiard table scene-when you see newspapers in fore/background your''re getting truth.
When they disappear Tom Cruise is being lied to.Stanley Kubrick was clever:)
Not a bad education for great movies right here, phenomenal!
I couldn't agree more. Ebert is my all time fav critic. He had such diverse tastes and Scorcese, arguably the best director to ever live, love his insight into what moves him as a viewer of cinema.
Roger Ebert having a picture of Gene on his desk hit me in the feels and brought a tear to my eye. I miss them both.

you forgot the Matrix
@@TheJacklikesvideos No, I did. I definitely would not
I think I’d have 85 of your 100 on my top 100.
And I agree, at least regarding the 80s and 90s.
My Top 90s picks and I’m basing this off of my Top 50 of all time list. 18 films made my 50 so I added 2 more to make it an even 20.

Well said.

Amazing collection of top 10 movies of the decade from 2 amazing masters of cinema with an amazing director like Martin Scorsese
Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, and Goodfellas stood out amongst the whole decade for me. I’ll always remember the first time I saw those great films.
1. The Thin Red Line
2. Unforgiven
3. Goodfellas
4. Crumb
5. The Silence of the Lambs
6. The Age of Innocence
7. The Remains of the Day
8. Deconstructing Harry
9. Miller's Crossing
10.Husbands and Wives
Casino was the best, hands down
Cool episode.
Very cool:)I think I need to screen Horse Thief:)
One per director (or I'll have to put Casino and Boogie Nights in my top 5)
1. Goodfellas
2. Magnolia
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Silence of the Lambs
5. LA Confidential
6. Heat
7. Fargo
8. Glengarry Glen Ross
9. The Straight Story
10. A Perfect World (had to put one of Clint's, since I'm not big on Unforgiven, there it is).
Shoot, Goodfellas was probably the best film of the 90’s
I'd say a four way tie between Goodfellas, pulp fiction, shawshank redemption, and silence of the lambs
Truman show takes the cake for me.
overrated
It's blatantly obvious regardless of opinion that Pulp Fiction ended up being the most influential film of the 90's when one looks at everything it accomplished within cinema and pop culture as a whole.
I liked Casino, Saving Private Ryan better than all of those movies.
Heat is up in the top 5 as well.
Jurassic Park obviously.
Where is the part where they talk about Breaking The Waves?
They never talk about it. They only talk about top 4.
Amazing directors -M.S. & S.K.
GoodFellows-One of my most favourite!
Eyes Wide Shut-love this movie! It’s very deep & so real about the truth of relationships.
The horse thief from 1986? What are we doing?
It was only released in the 90s in the west
Hey, if Scorsese wants to put a movie from the 80's on his list, he can put a movie from the 80's on his list.
I'll take a crack, in no order: Lone Star, Pulp Fiction, Heat, Chungking Express, The Commitments, Boogie Nights, Rushmore, Being John Malkovich, American Movie, The Scent of Green Papaya
My favorite films of the 1990's:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Forrest Gump
3. Where the Heart is
4. Hamlet
5. Ed Wood
6. The Age of Innocence
7. The English Patient
8. Apollo 13
9. Husbands and Wives
10. Thelma and Louise
So there
My list would be
1. The Shawshank Redemption
2. Schindler's List
3. Forrest Gump
4. Searching for Bobby Fischer
5. Fargo
6. Beauty and the Beast
7. Titanic
8. Jurassic Park
9. Babe
10. Groundhog Day
Good list, glad to see Branagh's Hamlet get some love.
No Shawshank redemption and no Goodfellas? That's a no list of the best 90s movies at all.
Forrest Gump

My predication on what gene Siskel would’ve picked for his best films of the 1990s:
10. Goodfellas
9. Pulp fiction
8. Ice Storm
7. Hearts of Darkness
6. Schilders List
5. One false move
4. Hoop Dreams
3. Toy Story
2. Crumb
1. Fargo
I'd imagine he would have place Babe somewhere in his list, knowing how much he loved it..
Toy Story
it should not bother me or you what another person does or does not pick as their favorite films, but i have been watching a lot of old episodes of Siskel and Ebert on here lately and oh my god both Roger and Gene bring up Hoop Dreams in episodes so often it should be a drinking game. i dont know maybe i have a chip on my shoulder as a kid that grew up super poor and was always the tallest kid in school so i got bothered CONSTANTLY about whether i played basketball, but i feel like they just had some sort of middle class white liberal guilt obsession with that doc.
It IS a great movie, though. Basketball had a significant connection for Chicago in the 90s that gives it a bump, for sure, but they also seek to highlight it because it was so notoriously snubbed at the Oscars despite being the clear-cut winner in its category.
There’s also something about the term “Greatest Movies,” I think, in that I don’t think Ebert would argue it’s the most entertaining movie by any means. But it’s an *important* movie, for sure.
@@alexanderdickens2517 I disagree. I think it's a very entertaining movie, because even though it's a documentary, it plays like a fiction film. And a great one at that.
So because you didn't play basketball as everybody told you now they can't like a movie about basketball? Take a load of this guy
@@Jamthecoolerator I don't think it's flat-out not entertaining. I just don't believe that "Greatest Movie" literally equates to raw entertainment value. It encompasses much more than that. Maybe I'm wrong.
I think Hoop Dreams and Horse Thief are a bit snooty. There were sooo many other great films to choose from.. Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Shawshank Redemption, Jurassic Park, Good Will Hunting, Silence of the Lambs, Truman Show, Apollo 13... The list goes on and on.

you want to add another 50 films to the list???????
Malcolm X, T2, Matrix, Good Will Hunting
just 10 is suficient
I think Pulp Fiction was still at least somewhat about morality ...
No..... lol. Good film but a total amoral postmodern nightmare
No, even in Tarantinos own words, there is a theme of redemption there but is not about that.
Eyes wide shut? Give me a fucking break
Give me low brow Ace Ventura or Friday over that bullshit
I will wipe my ass on Scorsese's nose because he didn't put my favorite film Casino on his fucking list. What was he thinking.
He's a pretty modest guy, he'd never put one of his own films on a list like this
FARGO is such overrated tripe. Would have worked better as a quirky television series.
Is one now
I'm just going to assume you're being sarcastic, because any other attempt at validating what you said would be an exercise in futility.
Disagree. Also what is with people saying everything "should be a series" not everything has to be a series.
i agree with you
