Kudos from a child of the 80s for including the commercials.
They talked about the revival of animation with Who Framed Roger Rabbit - and then there was an ad for The Little Mermaid, the beginning of the Disney Renaissance.
Yes and they implied that animation was no longer around or didn’t mention Disney at all
To be fair, Disney had had a rough decade. But the nineties would truly be a great revival @@ronniebishop2496
RIP to both these Legends.
Gone a long time but still interesting to listen to their take on some great films when they were new.
So cool that the commercials are included.
One of the very rare times I think the same thing. This is awesome!! I don’t always agree with either of them but my god this guy’s perspectives are amazing to hear!
@Jett Kasen man oh man do I love bots!
So cool to have commercials !
@@JeanAriaMouy Typically I dislike advertisements quite a bit, but these old ones are entertaining.
@@grafikj1uj1tsu they're so "old fashioned" it's entertaining
What a terrific time capsule. I loved catching Siskel & Ebert on TV, they illuminated the world of film for me. They will be forever missed.

I'm so happy E.T. was the first movie I saw in theater. I was 8 years old...and being a boy, just remember holding my cry at the end. This big ball in my throat.
Few years ago, in my '40, I rented it. Thinking it would a nice memory lane moment, whouldn't be moved that much by a kid movie....I let it go my 8 years old inside boy. I was laughing and crying in the same time at the effectiveness of that movie to fuzz with your emotions
Man. In todays age, all the commercials would have been the same four every break. I forgot what commercials were like in 1990. Awesome! And by the millions!
These shows need to be fully remastered with all the remastered film clips too, it deserves the best quality possible.
god the opening theme of this show.....just unrefined pure mainlined nostalgia.
there I am 7pm on a Saturday, sitting on the couch with my race car pj's on and waiting for the Pop Secret in the microwave to ding.
Cute memory
When there was an anniversary re-release of E.T. a few years ago, I took my young stepson to see it in the theater. He was absolutely transfixed watching it. At one point, I did the math that evening and realized my stepson was the same age watching the re-release as I was when E.T. first released.
It's still a favorite movie for both of us.
That's really sweet
As fun as it is to watch these two rip a bad movie apart, I love watching them talk about movies they love! It really shows their love of the craft and it's worth talking about.
I’m here for the 80s ads😍👍🏻.
I miss Siskle & Ebert. I never missed a show. So entertaining.
I loved watching these guys when I was growing up. It was like having a couple of smart, knowledgeable uncles visit and have these fascinating conversations. The exchange about Shoah is a perfect example.
Remember this show? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Damn good cookies!
Before the age of instant gratification. Sad to see the end of an era.
I do too.
It's so nice to see Siskel and Ebert agreeing with each other! The contentious reviews are fun too, but they seem to be having a good time here.
Siskel and Ebert really put Chicago on the map in the 80s. Along with Perfect Strangers.
Michael Jordan did more so.
Don't forget The Blues Brothers
Family Matters, Running Scared...many SNL performers started in Chicago and there were a lot of sketches based there.
My two favorite films of the 80s are “Empire Strikes Back” (12 yrs old) and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (14 yrs old).
My Top 10 of the 80s:
1. RoboCop
2. Blade Runner
3. Akira
4. The Thing
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
6. Blue Velvet
7. The Predator
8. The Shining
9. Platoon
10. Raging Bull
Funny how many genre pictures I have on there, whereas my 90s list is mostly dramas. I think movies like Robocop and Raiders and Predator just set a standard for stylish action that the 90s never really overcame.
Nice list. All good flicks.
No "Die Hard" or "The Hunt for Red October"?
@@kamuelalee My Top Ten Movies Of the 1980s are.
10. Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back.
9. The Gods Must Be Crazy.
8. 9 to 5.
7. Privet Benjamin.
6. Coal Miner's Daughter.
5. Stir Crazy.
4. Alligator. (This was way before the 1999 Movie Lake Placid).
3. Bon Voyage Charlie Brown (and don't come Back). Animated Movie.
2. Bad Timing.
1. The Blue Lagoon. (One of the most Romantic Movies Ever).
Here's my Honorable Mentions.
1. Caddyshack.
2. Flash Gordon.
3. Herbie goes Bananas.
4. Oh, God! Book 2.
5. Smokey and the Bandit 2.
6. Superman 2.
7. The Blues Brothers.
8. Popeye.
@@kellymiller1891 Well, I give your two lists kudos for mostly being early 1980s flicks. The few I'd add just for the heck of it are
"Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior"
"Escape From New York"
"Gallipoli"
"The Right Stuff"
"Trading Places"
"Time Bandits"
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" (the original title)
@@kamuelalee The Hunt for Red October was 1990.
Everyone forgets Arthur. Few films have as many great laughs.
I was going to leave a comment saying they forgot Arthur. That is one of the most rewatchable movies ever. The 43rd anniversary of that movie just passed on July 17th and I watched it on my 4K with a Blu-ray.
I think it's one of the greatest comedies of all time if not the greatest. I've never seen a comedy duo quite like Sir John Gielgud, who won the Oscar for best supporting actor,, and Dudley Moore who should have won the Oscar for best actor.
Every time I watch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" I enjoy it more. I think it holds up as well as any 80's movie.
This is back when TV still had balls.
..balls ..and lots of ads.
Wtf does this have to do with masculinity?
TV is irrelevant now they would have a channel and patreon
These two were uptight pretentious old fogies. They absolutely hated the genre films that now define the decade. The horror, science fiction, and fantasy films they turned their noses up at are what's still watched and talked about. They were the status quo personified. Not sure how that makes them ballsy.
Lmao uhhh TV was a lot cleaner in the 1980s before cable. It has way more “balls” today
6:34 Poor Celeste, she still believed a roast belonged in a microwave.
Oh, Celeste, you silly woman.
Celeste died from Breast cancer due to excessive microwaves Radiation.
The fosters commercial!! I love fosters! So great on tap which i can't find anywhere now.
Clicked for the reviews. Stayed for the commercials.
Thank you for this.
TY for the commercials.
I love The Right Stuff

-Honkytonk Man

I love all of this. Thank you!
Wow, that's a massive nostalgia hit, especially since I was living in Boston in 1989.
But, they were both Chicago film critics and the show was shot in Chicago
@@robertpiekosz7470 I was referring to the fact that the channel this video was taped from was WBZ-TV, which was then the NBC affiliate in Boston. So this would have been the exact broadcast I'd have been watching at the time.
@@susieusmaximus5330 Nice. It's so cool to see your old broadcast channel all these years later. When they first started out, they were on WTTW channel 11 in Chicago.
Then, they became so popular that they ended up in syndication. Changed the original name from Sneak Previews to Siskel and Ebert At the Movies. Then, changed again over time. They were the only movie critics that I actually paid any attention to.
@@robertpiekosz7470 They were on PBS nationally for years; that's when I first started watching them.
@@susieusmaximus5330 It actually started in 1975. Called Opening Soon... At a theater Near You. Then, I think in 77 the name was changed to Sneak Previews.
I can't believe neither one pick Amadeus! Wow.
I can. Not an all time Classic like many films of the 1970s. (not 80s)
My top 1980s list (take it or leave it):
1. Field of Dreams
2. Terminator
3. Flash Gordon
4. Empire Strikes Back
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
6. Die Hard
7. Dead Poets Society
8. Vacation
9. Ghostbusters
10. Chariots of Fire
Honorable Mentions:
- Back to the Future
- Princess Bride
- The Karate Kid
- Rainman
- Bloodsport
- Crocodile Dundee
- Fletch
- For Your Eyes Only
I watch a lot of this kind of content on TH-cam and this video is taking the record for being the clearest video quality. Thanks bruv
The Right Stuff. One of my favorites.
I always loved their theme music. And the one they used for Sneak Previews before this.
They nailed this one. It's not even close. The jail scene still moves me. Even in spite of the strong dislike I often held for one Jake La Motta. That's an incredible feat. Even the absolute worst of us can find a subtle redemption in the end. He lost it all but gained the ability to simply look himself in the mirror without disdain.
When he try’s to make up with his brother, who he treated like hell, Joe Pesce played a great part.
WFRR was I believe the first film I saw (or at least remember seeing) in the theater. Such a great memory for this 40 something.
my top 10 for the 80s in no order
-Blow Out
-The Princess Bride
-Raging Bull
-After Hours
-The King of Comedy
-Tampopo
-Streets of Fire

-The Last Dragon
-Police Story

-Parenthood
-Planes Trains and Automobiles

-Airplane
-Honkytonk Man
-Funny Farm
Streets of Fire? The script and lead actor are painful to behold, but the musical sequences are spellbinding, especially the opening. I’m also partial to the whole gangland setting and the films art design, which pairs ‘50s anachronisms with the contemporaneous sensibilities of the ‘80s.
Also, Blow Out and The Last Dragon are more than worthy of the list you put together. Blow Out is likely De Palma’s best film, while The Last Dragon is a more fantastical and hip Karate Kid that features one of the best screen villains I’ve seen in a while.
@@stoogefest16 yeah the art design in Streets of Fire is some of my favorite of all time
Points for leaving the tv commercials of the time. That really enhance the experience.
the toyota celica commercial is just…. *chefs kiss* such a perfect early example of 90’s “cool” vibes
Just thinking that, too! That body style still looks amazing, and the commercial is ultra '89-into-early-'90s. I love what you do for me, Toyota!
It is refreshing to hear two intelligent people discuss the substance of a film without ever mentioning sexism, racism, micro-agressions, virtue signaling ... That is one aspect of the 1980s I miss a lot.
@@LibrarianValkyrie Oh yeah, making distinctions between people solely based on their skin color is really gonna deal with racism. You are so stupid that you don't even realize that it does the opposite because that very act is the definition of racism.
They do bring up sexism and racism, etc , when they need to be mentioned. That you call even acknowledging these problems "virtue signaling" says to me that you're afraid of these topics
@@pazza4555 Wow, saying I think that acknowlding sexism and racism as being virtue signaling ... You really are that stupid to actually think such a thing from something I write which doesn't say that at all. If you mean discriminating against anyone based on gender or race, or saying all white men are like this or all women are like that, or giving double standards that women should be treated equally but men have to pay for them, then yes that is blatant institutional racism and sexism which has to be brought up. Do you bring those injustices up?
Thank you for all these videos!
I remember loving Sid & Nancy. Amazing film. Awesome soundtrack.
OMG the commercials. So amazing
LOVE that the original commercials are in here. Thank you! Great video!
It's a lovely reminder that some commercials were awful back then, too!
Thanks for including the commercials
I’m pretty shocked that Gene didn’t include Back to the Future on his list, because he really loved that movie. And it’s funny because of all of the films they discussed having potential staying power, BTTF has probably had the most staying power of everything they discussed.
In terms of general popularity I would probably agree but you have to also take into account that a movie like Raging Bull was never for the masses the way Back to the Future was and therefore it isn't quoted or talked about as nearly as much. I really don't think that Raging Bull has lost any of its staying power and appeal for people who are interested in more serious movies (I don't mean that as a slight). I would also guess that Raiders of the Lost Ark is pretty much equal to Back to the Future in terms of staying power.
Yes 30+ years and BTTF is going as strong as ever. I’d add Karate Kid as another film that’s as popular as ever thanks to Cobra Kai. I think they were off about the 80’s not being a good as the 70’s for films.
Back to The Future is one of my favorites but it terms of the cinematic language, it just isn't that engaging.
The idea that Back To The Future would be considered one of the best films of the 80s is hilarious. They're not just talking about a dopey Hollywood movie. "Raging Bull" is taught in film school, for chrissakes, not dopey "Back To The Future". It's not even the best blockbuster, or blockbuster comedy of the 80s. I'm trying to think of what it is best at. It's best at not sucking during a time when most of those kinds of movies were getting really dumb. PS: Some moron was complaining on this thread that Siskel & Ebert were (correctly) asserting that the 70s were better than the 80s for cinema. That's barely debatable, unless you love the corporate takeover of the entertainment business. Yeah, there was some great stuff in the 80s, but most of it wasn't the dopey popcorn crap like "Back To The Future". The 70s had "American Graffiti", the 80s had dopey "Back To The Future". If anything is an object lesson on the superiority of the 70s for film, there it is, ladies and gentleman. lol.

Great job. Now I will seek out the two Japanese films. Thank you!
This intro is cinema
These commercials still hold up. I'm going to buy some Pepperidge Farm next shopping trip.
This is awesome even with the commercials too that was a nice bonus
the commercials are hilarious 😊
What kind of an animal microwaves a whole ass roast beef?!
And here I was thinking, what kind of sociopath spread the mayonnaise on the tomato instead of on the bread.
Thank you! Your response was funny!
Celeste!
The '80s were a... special time.
too much cocaine in the 80's
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is well loved but still underrated - regardless of the animation it's extremely well written and well acted
I rented that not too long ago and watched the DVD extras. They actually used robots for a lot of the effects. When you see Roger holding a glass of whiskey it's actually a robot arm with his animated hand written over it. Pretty amazing what they did before computers.
Zemeckis lifted it to another level. It's a very fine film.
It’s not underrated in the least. It made bundles of cash back in ‘88.
RIP to both...
here's my top 10 of the 80s
Aliens
Back to the Future
Mad Max 2
The Elephant Man
E.T.
Do the Right Thing
When Harry Met Sally...
Come and See
The Untouchables
The Naked Gun
Good list
That would be a tough list, the 80s had so many great blockbuster movies and independent movies. It was still a pretty good balance.

-Hoosiers
-The Bear
-Parenthood
-Planes Trains and Automobiles
-Moonstruck

I use to watch this show every Sunday at 6:30 pm in Los Angeles California on PBS. I would get excited just hearing the theme song.. I remember as a kid seeing them review "Scarface" and "Return of the Jedi" back in 1983 when I was 10 years old. Good Times.
Love their respectiver lists...and love those commercials too.
Thanks for posting!
Man! Them Pepperdine Farms joints were the shit, boy. Tasty as hell 👍
These commercials are nut! "I'm going to eat a pastry instead of an apple, but 6 & 1/2 calorie breath mints are just too fattening for me"
Thanks for leaving in the ads!
Amadeus should have made the cut on both of their lists. Roger should have switched out House of Games and Gene should have switched out Sid & Nancy.
I miss those guys…. Worst movies of the year was the best thing on television of all year.
Used to watch them on ch.11
I liked that the vid thumbnail looked like it was from a film, but was a still from a candy commercial.
Love the retro commercials and the quality is excellent!
Holy cow, I had completely forgotten about that Toyota Celica ad at 19:33 until this! I'm not sure if video of it exists elsewhere on YT because I can't find it as a standalone link, but WOW, it's one that stayed with me as a kid for a *while* then 100% exited my brain sometime a few years later.
My first car ..was black and beautiful
Thank you S&E.
I miss these guys
My top 10 80s films:
1. Platoon (1986)
2. Raging Bull (1980)

7. Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
8. Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
9. 48 Hrs. (1982)
10. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)
Love your list except "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Loved it when it came out but over time thought it was kind of dumb...up their with Warren Beatty in Dick Tracy.
I would have put in Gandhi or Paris, Texas...but that's just me.
"Inconceivable"
The greatest one-word catch phrase ever. We use it at least once a month.
Princess Bride should be on this list as well.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite films. Glad to see it on this list.
I think I enjoyed watching the commercials the most, unexpected treat, lol. I don't recall that Paul Hogan beer commercial, Australia only no doubt, but that was a gem. Lynn Redgrave made me want to eat a pastry like right now; even the Drano commercial was entertaining. They just don't make commercials like they used to; today's are nauseating.
That Foster's commercial was, indeed, for the American market. They had a bunch with Mr. Hogan. The tagline was "Foster's. Australian for beer."
Sorry but this was the peak for Spike Lee. All downhill after that
Malcolm X and 25th Hour alone prove this to be wrong.
I agree!
Jungle Fever. Malcolm X. 4 Little Girls.
Shoah is incredible and needs to be seen by everyone.
Donna, you are so right! I bought the Criterion edition at Barnes & Noble several years ago (for a great price) and was blown away by it.

Good list
Critics, be real. The russian movie "Come And See" was the unknown masterpiece of the Eighties A sort of Apocalypse Now directed by Stanley Kubrick. Do watch it, It's on YT.
Yes, very powerful
I saw it last year on The Criterion Channel online…it’s harrowing, unforgettable and must be viewed in one setting (don’t look at your damn phone!)
Oops, all respect to the late Gene Siskel but Sid and Nancy was not directed by Stephen Frears. It was directed by Alex Cox, who would go on to direct another great of the 80s, Repo Man.
1. The Shining (1980)
2. Mauvais Sang (1986)
3. Rivers Edge (1986)
4. The Elephant Man (1980)

18. Airplane (1980)
19. Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982)
20. The Hunger (1983)
Cmon Die Hard (1988)? Maybe one of the greatest action movies ever made
3, 7, 8, and 16 wouldn’t make my top 500. Apart from that, this is the best list I’ve seen in the thread, and a lot better than S&E’s lists.
Mauvais Sang! 100%. Crimes and Misdemeanors is an all-time great-and it’s only my third favorite Woody Allen movie of the 80s.
It’s too bad Woody’s fucked-up personal life is going to stop future film buffs from appreciating his genius. He was one of a kind.
Good list; never really got into The Hunger but it is stylish
@@mymangodfrey How can you not include Platoon! The movie is a classic and the best war movie ever for sure.
All these years later and yes, Gene, Mississippi Burning not only lasted, it outlasted other films entirely on Roger's list.
You're more apt to see it on TV than The Right Stuff or House of Games.
One of his top 3 films, alongside Hoosiers & Unforgiven. Great, great actor who I miss.
Well, The Right Stuff is in fact a superb film. They probably don’t screen it much on cable because it clocks in at over three hours.
House of Games is interesting, but it suffers from Lindsey Krauss’s stiff-as-a-board acting, Mamets pedestrian filmmaking, and from being inherently contrived.
@@patrickc3419Well, top 5. Don't forget that Gene Hackman also starred in The Conversation and The French Connection.
@@christopherbloom2207
Forgot about French Connection! Haven’t seen it in many years. Never saw The Conversation, but I know it’s supposed to be very good.
Oh, I hope you watch The Conversation soon. It's one of Francis Ford Coppola's best movies.
Best films of the 80s:
- Matador
- Eraserhead
- The Shining
- Vagabond
- Mauvais Sang
- Do The Right Thing
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being
- Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
- Raising Arizona
- A Nos Amours
- Love Streams
- Brazil
- Blue Velvet
- Tender Mercies
- Something Wild
- Down By Law
- Blade Runner
- Hannah and Her Sisters
- They All Laughed
- Fandango
- Wings of Desire
Eraserhead was ‘77.
Empire Strikes Back. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Lethal Weapon 2. The Predator. Aliens
Wings of Desire is imo one of the greatest films ever made. It is maybe the film I have watched most times and it still amazes me.
@@mayajones1720 Wim Wenders' "Paris, Texas" should also be on the best of the 80s list.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Terminator
Empire Strikes Back
GhostBusters
VisionQuest
Fandango
Batman
Risky Business
Predator
Karate Kid
Better off Dead
Revenge of the Nerds
Harry Met Sally
Fright Night
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Gene Siskel was right in that Mississippi Burning didn't stand the test of time. I also cannot believe that Amadeus, Stand By Me, and Dead Poets Society weren't on their lists.
You can look up the review for Dead Poets Society. I forget which, but one of them didn't like it
dead poets? this isn't the worst of the eighties list.
@@pokeysdad17 Thanks for the opinion.
You’re right. Those are three excellent and classic films

Shoah. The best movie of the 1980’s from one standpoint.
I've always wondered how people get through eight (?) hours of such a tough subject, but I've always heard praise for the film
@@pazza4555 It was 9.5 hours. You’re right, it is very difficult to sit through that many hours of anything. I first found the film on home video. I think I watched it it three sittings.
The correct answers are:
1) Amadeus (Forman's properly cut version, not the butchered theatrical release)
2) Kagemusha
3) Raging Bull
4) The Shining
5) The Right Stuff
6) Akira
7) Top Secret!
8) Fitzcarraldo
9) Bladerunner
10) My Dinner With Andre
11) The Color Of Money
12) Ran
13) This Is Spinal Tap
14) Airplane!
15) The Karate Kid
16) Under The Volcano
17) Bird
18) My Left Foot
19) The Last Emperor
20) The Thing
Thanks for playing, everybody!
You win!
Some of these I wouldn't even place on a top 100 but you do have mostly good choices.
My favorite movies of the 1980's:
1. Tess
2. Witness
3. The Long Good Friday
4. Sex, lies and videotape
5. Raiders of the Lost Ark
6. Atlantic City
7. Brazil
8. Hairspray
9. Children of a Lesser God
10. Full Metal Jacket
So there.
I've STILL not seen Kagemusha, House of Games and Moonlighting! (the 1982 film, not the fun TV show)
"A movie magazine named Premiere..."
Wow, this really IS old.
I bought the first issue of Premiere...now, where is it?!
@@kamuelalee probably next to the (gorgeous) Ralph Fiennes cover I kept . . . 🤔
Premiere was one of my favorite magazines. Hey, that wasn’t Lynn Redgrave in that Weight Watchers commercial was it? I used to have the biggest crush on her.
It’s always so cool seeing Giancarlo get props in the 80s knowing he’d also find success a good 30 years later with breaking bad
