Man Like Bill!

Very creative editing. I enjoyed it.

9:23-9:40 It's fascinating how even in the 80s long before Marvel, DC and the live-action Disney remakes took over Hollywood, people like Siskel were saying that not enough movies were being made for other audiences and too much stuff is being made for young adults/teens. I wonder how Siskel would feel If he was reviewing movies today.

Great job.

Unpopular opinion, and I love Siskel & Ebert, but I prefer Ebert and Roeper more.

Clever to play with the timeline of Nolan's filmography

A riff on my usual show, here we have a non-linear compilation of Ebert & Roeper (mainly) reviewing the films of Christopher Nolan Obviously (and unfortunately) Siskel never lived to see a Nolan film, so it would be wrong to title this "Siskel & Ebert Review..." From Memento to Dunkirk (except for Insomnia, unfortunately): 00:21 Dunkirk (Roeper solo) 02:00 Memento (Ebert & Roeper) 06:49 Interstellar (Roeper solo) 09:00 Batman Begins (Ebert & Roeper, then solo Ebert) 15:00 The Prestige (Roeper & A.O. Scott) 19:02 Inception (Roeper solo) 20:37 The Dark Knight (Roeper & Michael Phillips, then Ben Lyons & Ben Mankiewicz) 29:57 The Dark Knight Rises (Roeper solo) Primarily for educational purposes, but enjoy however you see fit!

A Ghostbuster clone? I never had much respect for them, now I have none. I shutter to think how many people listened to their cinema snob advice.

I always found them sneaking their way upstairs so amusing in the original intro. Especially Ebert 😂

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is almost in a league of its own. Before it gets mainstreamy toward the end with the cliches, it has a bizarre dream surreal vibe that’s both funny and strangely familiarly off putting. I never could quite put a finger on it, but even as a very young kid, growing up with his Playhouse show, the first movie stood out even comparatively. And even the ending got meta and weird at the end lol, where Pee Wee and all the friends he made in his adventure watching a movie about their movie lol. Oh, and I always wanted soooo bad to find a magic shop like the one in the beginning as a little kid. Never did though…

The thumbnail for this video ALONE is hilarious

My fav of all time.

Ebert sure was a square in his early days.

I don't think they ever reviewed Thriller because it's a music video, but I know the making of it was shown at the beginning of a re-release of Fantasia.

QT makes art; critics make copy, nothing more. The best and most influential critics add almost no value to the process at all.

These critics are a bunch of wankers

Thank you for this. Illuminating to see these mostly completely off-the-mark reviews of what became such inventive classics.

A chronological compilation of Siskel & Ebert (and others later) reviewing the films of Tim Burton This is another one of my earliest episodes from a few years ago, that I updated almost a year ago, and now after one of the missing reviews (Planet of the Apes) recently became available, I decided to include that and add an extra bonus review (Alice in Wonderland) while I was at it. And I did the timestamps! I do think this is an improvement, aside from the fact that all this IP content had me flagged so many times I had to make a lot of little cuts and adjustments. Don't skimp on the Alice review, as it functions perfectly as a finale for the video From Pee Wee's Big Adventure to Alice in Wonderland (still missing The Corpse Bride) Nightmare Before Christmas is included because, while he didn't direct it, it absolutely was his project 00:36 Pee Wee's Big Adventure 03:55 Beetlejuice 06:10 Batman 11:44 Edward Scissorhands 15:19 Batman Returns 18:26 Frankenweenie (home video release) 19:08 The Nightmare Before Christmas 23:30 Tim Burton Interview 25:59 Ed Wood 32:42 Mars Attacks! 35:24 Sleepy Hollow (w/ Michaela Pereira) 38:19 Planet of the Apes (w/ Roeper) 41:15 Big Fish (w/ Roeper) 45:35 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (w/ Roeper) Bonus Reviews: 48:59 Sweeney Todd (Roeper w/ Michael Phillips) 51:48 Alice in Wonderland (Phillips w/ A.O. Scott) Primarily for educational purposes, but enjoy however you see fit! For more of this series: kzbin.info/aero/PLjog8SEXXlNV9hSA2USQDeuz-Njrkhuar&si=9MBkX8IAqz2l-B1b

15:59 😂 Ebert face

His finest achievement. Really an excellent film that stands on its own and is timeless.

You know the great thing about Jackie Brown, the movie still holds up when it shifts over to the business of the heist plot and Jackie getting rid of Ordell. Out of Sight on the other hand, which came out the next year and is also a movie based on an Elmore Leonard novel completely falls apart once it stops being about the business of watching these character hang out and becomes about the business of them pulling off the job they’re doing. Jackie Brown is so good that people on the Internet will mindlessly repeat that it’s his least self-indulgent movie when it’s maybe his most self-indulgent movie. It’s like adapting someone else’s work freed him up to have scenes play out even longer than he would have if it was his own original thing. Having a 30 second long shot that’s just someone (Ordell) putting gloves on isn’t the type of thing Tarantino did before Jackie Brown, and it’s not really the type of thing he did afterwards either.

The way I interpret the ending of Magnolia, the rain of frogs, in its own way, gives closure to each of the characters in the film. For example, the frog rain causes Jimmy Gator's suicide attempt to be thwarted, thus, he must live with the guilt of what he did to his daughter till the cancer eventually kills him. It also jolts Earl awake from what should've been a lethal dose for morphine and allows him and his son Frank to have one final moment before hes gone, and so on.

Jimi Hendrix is a legendary instrumentalist ❤😊

Jackie Brown is a classic and Pam Grier was criminally snubbed for a Best Actress Oscar nomination

Interesting to hear Siskel say Hollywood is going more in a juvenile direction and aiming more towards kids and teens, and yet this was before PG-13 was even invented. Oh, if he were still here today and what he'd think of movies of the last 25 years.

Gotta love Ebert saying that The Fog has a "thin" storyline, lol. Not even sure if that was accidental or intentional. Also love him praising EFLA. Ebert might be the only person/reviewer I can think of that actually gets what Carpenter was going for.

I loved Porky's as a kid. All these criticisms may be fair from an adults perspective but as a kid you don't know anything so walking through these things IS the experience even if they seem to obvious as an adult.

Stanley Kubrick was/is the master. Greatest director of the latter twentieth century.

these interviews prove one thing to me.... that Bill Murray IS an awesome guy! when i hear all of those hollyweird actors and actresses say that he was an asshole and they dont want to work with him cause he improv's too much, then move out of the country and go make movies in thailand! he is a REAL person who doesnt take shit, treats people decently and loves to make people laugh. so awesome! loved him when i first saw him in 1975 on SNL, when the show was good.

My favorite Tarantino film!!

Did we really need to see every hole in his god darn t-shirt even in the pits? We get it, the more successful you are, the less you bathe.

The Thing is best Carpenter movie

Carlito's Way is my favourite of his movies. Who is with me?

I lived just up the road from Acton Power Station, where some of it was shot. Never knew until years later (still in Primary School, lol!). First watched it on VHS as a kid and god what a blast. Damn, I'm jealous I wasn't old enough to see it at the cinema. I remember the tagline when The Director's Cut came out: "This Time It's More!".

I'll die on the hill that Mick Jagger is the greatest front man R&R ever had - for a number of reasons - but James Brown he is not. Nobody was!

I went to this movie as a kid. Always remember James Brown refusal to leave the stage and The Barbarians.

Thank you for this. Hopefully someone will unearth their original Annie Hall review one day.

Friedkin sounds like Trump.

The Goat!

Tarantino drools over this video I'd imagine

Always makes me smile seeing Mick Jagger trying out his James Brown moves here… still some work to do!

Being long is one thing, being boring is another thing.

You know, it's amazing that whenever The Goonies is talked about, it's Spielberg's name people mention more than they do Dick Donner's! I guess people do the same thing with George Lucas whenever Empire or Jedi is talked about. Perhaps it has to do with the producer being a bigger name than the director.

Elvis is the GOAT! Forever and ever ! Nobody will ever come close to him

Jackie could not afford Kangol hats. She was just barely scraping by in life.

Hot take!?! Lethal Weapon 2>Lethal Weapon. 👍? Or, call me an idiot?!? But an opinion would be optimal.

Great upload 👌👌👌👌

Roeper stays winning

Personally I think avatar was one of the most biggest yawnfests I’ve ever seen 😴😴

Merry Christmas everyone! Great video. I would have liked to have seen a review of The Omen, though. It's probably my favorite horror movie from the 70's. Superman 2 was a movie that I wore out as a kid. And I love Scrooged! It's not a top tier Bill Murray movie or anything, but I still think it's really good. I watch it every December.
