I remember going to 9 to 5 in the theater with my mom and her best friend. It was original and fun.

They couldn't have been more wrong about 9 to 5. It's become a classic.

I really liked 9 to 5. Siskel and Ebert were out to lunch.

I remember seeing 9 to 5 on the theater. The audience was mainly women. Multiple times during the movie, I could hear the women saying, "Uh huh"! My mom was nodding her head during it, too. 🙂

As much as I love to see them bicker and tear horrible movies apart, I love watching them discuss great films and analyze what makes them so great much more. We deserved to have these two forever, and dammit we were robbed. Rest In Peace to these two brilliant souls.

9 to 5 is a comedy classic.

9 to 5 is a super funny film, but Roger is correct when he bemoans the dream sequences they are too long. I loved even Jane Fonda in this film. Dolly and Lilly shine here, but the supporting cast is also good. Coleman is perfectly cast. Not enough is said about him in this role these days. I think we should try and get more people to watch this film.

"9 to 5" may not be a great film, but it's a landmark film when it comes to women's rights in the workplace. Jane Fonda also dealt with that kind of sexism in her previous role in "The China Syndrome," which was a great movie.

1980 was a good year for films. Here are just a few: The Empire Strikes Back The Elephant Man Stir Crazy Airplane! The Shining Ordinary People Melvin and Howard Being There Raging Bull Mad Max Dressed to Kill

I love the bits of self deprecating humour in Eastwood films that his critics miss

Ebert is spot-on about The Formula. I could watch those two actors do anything. The plot lets them down.

I never quite got the love for Raging Bull. Gene said he didn't like Scarface because Tony was such a louse. Well LaMotta certainly came across as a louse.

Man, it's awesome you've put up these episodes. Thank you and cheers!

Raging Bull can be defended as the best film ever released. Powerful, sad, scary, & deep. DeNiro was tremendous. 11:53

These guys were usually pretty on-target, but I think they missed the mark on "Nine to Five" which I saw when it first came out. Watching it again now. I'm going to say that sometimes they become too hypercritical.

the scenes in raging bull. i mean not just an artistry which it has all the drama but its also a technical feat. the speed of those frames going off in perfect timing one two one like a typewriter then the slow pull back of this punch drunken as he put it "ballet" with the shots the rounds numbered on cards. it has meaning layers just emotion. the slow down of the cameras is perfectly done. theres a forlorn a kind of sadness in raging bull that just echoes. down the years of empty alleyways where deals are done and handshakes in shady smoke filled rooms. all that romance the blood and guts is so neatly conveyed and yet its still always in focus. wonderful and yes a technical achievement. those stunts yknow deniro did all his own fighting in that movie and gained over 50 pounds just by the end you say how did he do this.. i sound like someones italian mother going off somewhere but its a movie for all time. its a great big thunderclap and true to its title.

Pesci is fabulous in RB.

G.D.. Spradling; that made the Brando clip worth it, for me.

23:00 Dolly is so good in that movie

Eastwood preferring the ape to Locke... Maybe Siskel already knew stuff.

Raging Bull: a must c film

Jane Fonda was in three movies so far this year _80 for Brady, Moving On,_ and _Book Club the Next Chapter (2023)_ and is doing the voice of an animated character in a another, _Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken._ Too bad Dolly Parton didn't join her and Lily in _80 for Brady._

Any Which Way You Can is a lightweight film, but it's entertaining and one of the few sequels better than the original. The Formula is a mess of a film. For a better collaboration between director John G. Avildson and writer Steve Shagan watch the great drama Save The Tiger instead.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Dolly and the only way to describe her, is absolute Royalty. If America ever had a monarchy Dolly Parton would be our Queen.

How I miss these boys. Just two guys taking about movies. So simple this concept. And how we loved it so, right? And anyone else doing it feels... phony... Next to these two originals. I hope you two are still sitting across the aisle from each other, up in heaven, and hashing out today's movies. But I have a feeling 98% of them get a thumbs down.

9:00 Senator Geary chatting it up with Don Vito.

25:30 does Gene say "statue of limitations"?

I still love the idea behind Grudge Match. The best movie boxers, Rocky Balboa and Jake LaMotta going toe to toe.

The public seem to disagree with these guys. So many they disliked the public loved. They said in the 1980s it was time to end the James Bond franchise.

Raging Bull is a great film about a not-so-great man. And I agree with Gene: Any Which Way You Can is all about the ape. A few years afterwards, the orangutan starred in Mr Smith, the talking ape TV series. Dumb series which wasn't as smart as it thought it was.

Siskel was only 33 or 34 here. He looked 45 lol.

I’ve been binge watching several of these episodes of sneak previews before their former host took over and they want to do at the movies, even the movies they don’t recommend or put down a certain far superior to the crap that’s out nowadays, it makes me very sad to think that going to the movies is becoming a thing of the past, all I know is, I’m glad I got to go up during the 70s and 80s and watch all those great and even not so great films in the theater, those memories were good ones

Oh...so now Siskel likes Taxi Driver? He did not like Taxi Driver orginally

I was 11 when I saw 9 to 5. Loved it. Maybe it was my age 😂

I live the movie 9 to 5, it was a very funny mivie

Mothers Day is a classic. Too bad the satire within the film went right over their heads.

7:53 "I'm through working with clowns like you, Blaine. I'm transferring to Police Squad!"

19:30 Wait, I knew Siskel and others hated 1980 as a year for movies, but it turns out Roger did too!

9 to 5 19:50

I like Nine to Five, and I thought The Formula was silly.

I kinda disagree that AWWYC goes over the same ground. The first movie didn't have what you'd call a standard Hollywood ending. (Spoiler alert) Philo doesn't get the girl and he doesn't win the big fight in the end, and he and Orville limp home only being thankful the Black Widows and those two corrupt cops didn't do them in. They're lucky to still be alive and in one piece. And in the sequel, he beats Jack Wilson and retires with Lynn in his arms--a happy Hollywood ending. Orville and Ma end up right where they need to be, too, and the Black Widows call off their war and learn some respect. There are a lot of the same beats and themes, but the sequel is not just a retread of the original. It's for people who didn't like how the first one ended.

Raging Bull, the story of a really mean boxer who alienated himself from everybody because he was such a mean miserable jerk. Let's face it, there's not much more to the story than that. De Niro was fantastic portraying LaMotta.

“Stud”

A 12 cents increase? Preposterous!🤨

Long time since I watched any of those. Bottom two for me would probably be Raging Bull, and Any Which Way you Can. Yes, I know is considered one of the greatest movies ever made. But i just found it ugly, and boring. I am a fan of the director's movies in general, but not this one. 9 to 5 would probably be the top one for me.

Ebert couldn't be a critic of Scorsese because he was too much of a fan of him.

I guess I should see Raging Bull again. I've only seen it once, and I didn't like it. That was partly because it had already been built up as the greatest film since Citizen Kane, but also, I didn't care about Jake LaMotta. He was a stupid, unpleasant character, and he wasn't even violent in an interesting way. He was just an abusive jerk. If I don't like the characters, I don't care about the film.

Gene liked that stupid Eastwood film, but didn't like 9 To 5. Okay...

Raging Bull. At worst, the best film of the decade.

S&E's raging boner for Raging Bull is their biggest and most exasperating flaw.

I am one of the few people who does not like Raging Bull, not even a little bit. Sue me it leaves me cold. 9 to 5 is a fun movie, and The Formula has it's moments. Haven't seen the other movie.

I don’t like Raging Bull. Yes it’s well acted but I hate the characters and watching it is a very unpleasant experience.

I must admit that I hated Raging Bull, and have never finished watching it,

Every which way but loose is the better film.
