Yes. He had the balls to say that. Amazing. He was not easily duped.... I disagreed most with Gene, but he was his own person and stated his reasons why for his dislikes.
It must be said that while his review for Broken Arrow was the only one he ever changed live within the process of the review, he later changed his opinion about Apocalypse Now and said as much during their 500th episode Special in which Rodger Ebert named it the best film since they had begun reviewing movies together.
In my opinion, films about relationships breaking up are almost always more interesting than movies that focus on the genesis of one. By the way, I agree about Dana Hill's performance. She did an excellent job.
That's "At the Movies" Season 1, Episode 5. Unfortunately, I've not been able to locate that episode. I can only tell you that Ebert enjoyed it. He just didn't like the way it ended.
My god she looks JUST LIKE HER GORGEOUS FAMOUS FATHER Klaus Kinski! She did when young too but WOW now that she’s old she REALLY looks like him! She couldn’t act her way out a paper bag but she was gorgeous….she couldn’t even get parts with her dads or Roman Polanski (her longtime bf) getting her these parts…..nope….finally she gave up for the most part at least….
I enjoyed her in Young Frankenstein, but Oscar Worthy, No She was definitely deserving for Tootsie, especially since Jessica Lange was the LEAD Role But I'd still pick Lesley Ann Warren for Victor/Victoria for the Oscar
Both of these guys must have been having a very OFF day when they saw Night Crossing. It is not a great film, but it tries to tell the compelling story in a family-accessible way, and I thought they did a pretty decent job of it. But Gene and Roger, all they can do is criticize that real East Germans were not cast in all the roles. No mention is made of the resourcefulness of the heroes in slyly obtaining all the materials over a long period of time to avoid arousing suspicion, how they worked to learn unfamiliar technologies (developing burners, learning flying techniques), and all the other interesting aspects of the story.
When “One from the Heart” came out on VHS tape I rented it and could only get through the first 20 minutes. It’s interesting how this episode was pre-thumb Siskel and Ebert. Instead of up or down it was yea or nay.

You have to understand that many of these old videos are tiny and came out before broadband. I didn't shrink the videos. The backgrounds are just wallpaper. Newer videos are much larger.
I love the internet but I really miss the days when you'd catch Siskel & Ebert to see if a movie was worth watching. Nowadays the internet hive mind bubbles up its opinions on social media and message boards, a mixture of half-formed opinions from the rabble and mindless sheep who agree with them. These men represent an era of erudite film criticism that understands the deeper meanings of the medium. RIP Siskel & Ebert.
R.I.P. Albert Finney, Dana Hill, John Hurt, and Susan Anspaugh.
Poor Dana, too young to go.

WOW! The boys campaigning an Oscar for Christopher Reeve as SUPERMAN!
I remember seeing Montenegro at 17 at the Carlton, Toronto. It changed me. Profoundly.
I really enjoyed that movie and thought Susan Anspach was Tremendous - and that theme song is one of the Best to a movie
@@keithdoherty3178 Oddball of a movie. Like it alot. Will watch it now actually 😃
Siskel recommended One From the Heart but not Apocalypse Now. What?
Yes. He had the balls to say that. Amazing. He was not easily duped.... I disagreed most with Gene, but he was his own person and stated his reasons why for his dislikes.

The first two thirds of Apocalypse Now is great.
I loved the soundtrack....quirky...couldn`t stop listening...but why spend so much money on a film that had no hopes of a being a big success
One from the heart is dull as ditchwater. Painfull.
The real "star" of "One from the Heart" is that giant set of Las Vegas.
R.I.P. Raul Julia.

Have you been able to come across the episode that they review First Blood on?
That's "At the Movies" Season 1, Episode 5. Unfortunately, I've not been able to locate that episode. I can only tell you that Ebert enjoyed it. He just didn't like the way it ended.
A prime Nastassja Kinski was something special ....One of the sexiest women ever 😍
My god she looks JUST LIKE HER GORGEOUS FAMOUS FATHER Klaus Kinski! She did when young too but WOW now that she’s old she REALLY looks like him!

Your analysis changed all of our mind 👍
terri Garr, a national treasure. Should have won an Oscar for YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and TOOTSIE!@

But I'd still pick Lesley Ann Warren for Victor/Victoria for the Oscar
Rest in peace Dana Hill.You had a very short life and short career
19:06 That quote made me literally spit.😂 Calling it "uneven" does feel worse than claiming that it's bad. Like it could've been, but nahhh.
12:42 still true,even if Disney products make $$ these days

Night Crossing. What are John Hurt and Jane Alexander doing in dreck like that
I understand maybe a nostalgic background, but the picture is way too small…

Shoot the Moon is good, but Montenegro is weird.
I walked out of Shoot the Moon. Hated it
I love Nastassja, but "One from the Heart" is an absolute Why Was It Made movie.
Coppola
