Siskel and Ebert: The Jackal, Anastasia, The Man Who Knew Too Little, One Night Stand

[@drfred1203]

I love The Man Who Knew Too Little!!

[@LordThree]

“The man who knew to little” is literally one of Bill’s best movies. He’ll be remembered by it as much as anything else. It’s just SO GOOD.

[@frankycortes6870]

Anastasia is a great nondisney animated movie. A true gem. My thumb is way up.

[@spirit1600]

I loved The Man Who Knew To Little.

[@sonnyblack0870]

Yeah I’ve got a real soft spot for it too.

[@robbiesharp311]

Great flick.

[@williefufu2985]

Well, Sieskel & Ebert, I love you both, but in 2023, this movie is needed and in these times, it’s finally funny, it was b probably funny back when it was first released, I didn’t see it, now, I watch it every chance I get. I like the Man Who k ew too little. 👍

[@oldfashionedguy1368]

I like their review of Anastasia although I'm disappointed they never mentioned who directed the film, Don Bluth.

[@stonefree1911]

Disagree on "The Man Who Knew Too Little" very good Murray flick. Love Siskel & Ebert, best review show ever.

[@luisthekingjaime94]

Anastasia is my favorite movie two thumbs way up for me

[@kiptelgat]

"its a matter of writing the check and you got rights", even though I was a kid I miss the days when rights and licenses were that easy. Gave us a lot of great cartoons, movies, and comics that made my childhood, nowadays everything is too big for that.

[@uyeda]

I really enjoyed Anastasia.

[@luisthekingjaime94]

Me too

[@reneedennis2011]

I haven't seen it.

[@hamburgareable]

@@reneedennis2011 Its worth watching! Its a wonderful feature cartoon. Not a perfect one like the Disneys but it will convince you to like it. Go see it!

[@hamburgareable]

Me too

[@uyeda]

@@hamburgareable Hard to believe Jack Black was in The Jackal.

[@oldfashionedguy1368]

I believe their disdain for The Jackal is mainly because they have a great appreciation for The Day Of The Jackal from 1973 which as Gene mentioned was on his (and Roger's) list(s) for the best films of 1973 (No. 5 on Gene's list) and (No. 7 on Roger's list), I guess the moral of the story is to never remake the classic films and that's a lesson for Jan De Bont when he remade The Haunting.

[@reneedennis2011]

I agree.

[@sonnyblack0870]

True true

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I have read TDOTJ and I watched the 1973 film adaptation of that book. The clips from this 90s adaptation makes me want to wretch.

[@hamburgareable]

True

[@tedbailey3673]

Just don't make the remake worse.

[@jchandlersabeast]

Siskel is literally comparing every animated movie to little mermaid

[@JontyMaster]

Anastasia has wonderful animation. I'd quite like to watch it someday.

[@jovialnobody]

It reminds me of those early Disney animated movies; it has the same fluid, dreamlike quality, like everything is made of satin. Definitely worth a watch!

[@furripupau]

The Man Who Knew Too Little is not a great film, but I think it's one of Bill Murray's best performances. He saves it from being completely boring, and I don't think any other actor could have.

[@robbiesharp311]

Loved it.

[@ct0760]

Its weird Roger didnt like "The Man Who Knew Too Little", I mean, I figured Siskel wouldn't like it; but its a classic

[@gabrielzayas2251]

Anastasia is definitely great.

[@calebtsedzik6222]

I really enjoyed none of these movies (since I never saw them), but I adore Siskel & Ebert reviews.

[@kellymiller1891]

[@FallenWorldFilms]

I disagree about the Man who knew too little - comedy classic if you ask me

[@offspringfan1288]

I have to disagree with a negative review of the jackal I happen to find it a very fun and exciting 90s thriller film I don’t think it’s perfect by any means but it is definitely worth a watch every once in a while and it’s fun seeing Bruce Willis and I truly villainous role

[@littlekingtrashmouth9219]

I agree. If it were a movie unto itself, they might be giving it marginal praise. Take out the whole “Jackal” thing, and it’s got a good pace, a shocking take from Willis, and a back and forth, cat and mouse element to it.

[@murrieta49]

What channel is this from?

[@CraigCairney83]

I really liked The Jackal.

[@sonnyblack0870]

It’s not a great movie but it’s definitely entertaining. The Day of The Jackal is a much better film and if you’d seen that one first you probably wouldn’t have liked The Jackal as much.

[@littlekingtrashmouth9219]

@@sonnyblack0870It works on its own. Day of the Jackal is its own thing. If they dropped it as a remake of that movie set in a different time (hey, why not have Genghis Khan, but he’s not Asian and make it take place in outer space? Yeah, exactly), and made it its own thing, it would stand up as a marginal popcorn thriller. But it ends up being a forgotten movie that didn’t hold a candle to its original, a much better movie.

[@sonnyblack0870]

@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Fair point

[@pi6835]

“One Night Stand” is quite good...

[@stegwise]

these guys were actually kindof stuck up snobs who couldn't just enjoy a fun movie without ruining it. i know they are legendary but they were living in a golden age and had no appreciation for so many films that would go on to stand the test of time. i'd be surprised if they even payed any attention to Alfred Molina or Peter Gallagher who gave fantastic performances. and the fact that they just dismissed the actual joke of the film, that it's the repetition of the premise and increasing stakes of the situations through all the various tropes of the spy genre. it's like thatsthejoke,jpg you guys. all respect to them, but they got a lot wrong in their time.

[@HughGlass-m9w]

The movie needs to be watched from the perspective of the non Bill Murray charecters to be enjoyed thoroughly.

[@mcflyguy8873]

So Ebert gave away a huge spoiler

[@Maddolis]

Psch yeah and Hilary's a war criminal anyway, I'm not so concerned about her likeness being used as a target.

[@TonyMichaels166]

I’ve seen them both do it in multiple episodes. Sometimes even giving a rundown of the entire plot with spoilers.

[@movieman104]

jackyl was fun but willis has done alot better man who knew too littlr wasent vert funny though

[@jasonmiller3134]

Nice spoiler on the Jackal review. Good grief.

[@VinMar-m6w]

_Kiss or Kill_ was trash. And the ending was stupid.
