It was great seeing two amazingly classy movie reviewers give props to a movie and the young directors the Hughes Brothers. They were in my television production class and would play their early films in class. I wonder what they thought of Dead Presidents which was quite an interesting twist on the Vietnam war era type storyline and also heist film. They also made some interesting films later on like From Hell and also The Book of Eli plus other projects. I remember seeing their picture in a thai magazine for Book of Eli which was quite a trip. On a different note its great seeing these old clips of Siskel and Ebert but sad that they're gone as it would be interesting to see what they thought of the movies of today (or maybe how worse the stream Hollywood movies got later on in the future)

Runners-up on Gene's list for 1993 were "The Remains of the Day", "In The Name of the Father", "What's Love Got to Do With It" (which was on Roger's top ten, as aforementioned), "Household Saints", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", "Shadowlands", "The Story of Qiu Xu" and "Untamed Heart". His other favorites for 1993 were "Boxing Helena", "The Music of Chance" and "Kalifornia". (SOURCE: Chicago Tribune, December 19, 1993)

Less so than it appears. Tombstone wasn't screened for critics because the studio felt they had a bomb in their hands. As Gene said in their official review of the movie, "it was well hidden from us...we were *prevented* from seeing it!" They didn't get to see it until February 1994. Roger's review was very positive, and subsequent mentions in other reviews suggest that his appreciation of it enhanced over time. Gene gave it a marginal thumbs down because the post-Corral material was too action-oriented for him. But it couldn't have been featured here because they hadn't seen it yet!

How in the ever-lovin world is The Piano a better movie than The Fugitive.?

@flaccidusminimus2170 8 ай бұрын

Deeper, more ambitious, and it's about a heck of a lot more than just its plot. Whatever, I love both.

@waynej2608 8 ай бұрын

They're both very worthwhile films. Personally, I rate The Piano higher. It's just such a visceral experience. Imho. And Holly Hunter is amazing.

Are you insane? You like Cop and a Half and TMNT3 more then Schindler's List and Age of Innocence and Menace 2 Society? Don't bother making top ten lists by year if you haven't seen any of the good movies from that year.

@flaccidusminimus2170 2 жыл бұрын

That received Thumbs Down from Siskel, quite solidly so, whereas Roger praised it highly and gave a 3 1/2 star review (out of 4). It was one of their biggest disagreements of the year. But with so many 4 star reviews from Roger in '93 it wouldn't even have made his top 20.

@ricardocantoral7672 2 жыл бұрын

Even though Roger gave it "thumbs up", I think he underestimated how powerful Carlito's Way is.

Yeah that Schindlers list was very violent. But it’s nothing new it’s the same old story we’ve seen a thousand times, of how the Nazis hated the Jews, just more of it, done in a different way. And look how many pictures have come out since 1993 about this same subject.

Has Juliette Lewis ever played a role with subtlety, or does she just chew scenery and over-emote in every movie she's appeared in?

I wonder how Siskel would have responded to the AVATAR movies given his propensity for movies that let you enter a world and his dislike of cookie cutter characters.

I totally agree with Gene. The early to mid 70's was the last time truly provocative and unconventional cinema was appreciated by a wide audience in the US. Of course, I am not saying no good cinema has been made since then and today, I think filmmakers are enjoying a greater amount of freedom due to digital technology.

When you look at the crap that has come out in the last 10+ years, yeah, hes right. Everything today is remakes, superhero movies, or the Fast and the Furious 2,321. The vast majority of movies today are safe and sterile, not too mention relying on cgi instead of good acting.

I dont agree with Siskels opinion. The 70's were NOT the last golden era of film. Many years in the 80's had a deluge of excellent cinema. But I do agree 1993 was a banner year.
