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

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.

@stoogefest16 9 месяцев назад

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.

@stoogefest16 9 месяцев назад

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.

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.

@malafakka8530 3 года назад

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.

@MrBdiddypop 2 года назад

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.

@ricardocantoral7672 2 года назад

Back to The Future is one of my favorites but it terms of the cinematic language, it just isn't that engaging.

@TTM9691 2 года назад

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.

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.

@vortex63 3 года назад

Interestingly Roger Ebert wrote the original screenplay for the Sex Pistols film 'The Great Rock n Roll Swindle' when Russ Meyer was taken on by the Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren as director.They had worked on films together in the past.Meyer fell out with Malcolm McLaren after one day of filming and therefore Eberts script was never used. It was eventually directed by Julien Temple but you would have thought that Ebert would have picked up on that mistake by Siskell. BTW,'Sid and Nancy' was a terrible film.I saw it in the cinema when it came out and,as someone who was there so to speak,it was just wrong on every level - just so bad.

@lerm2866 3 года назад

@linkbiff1054 2 года назад

Yeah I laughed at this mistake. Frears had nothing to do with Sid & Nancy. But I think if he did make it, the film would have been much better.
