I started watching Sneak Previews on PBS when I was a kid, and watched the show every week, until Gene's passing. People thought that I was nuts because I cried when Gene died in the 90's. As a life long movie lover he left quite a void. I would have never seen a lot of great movies if it wasn't for these guys sharing their passion for films with an audience filled with people like myself. Gene was always my favorite, but now that I'm older, I appreciate Roger's opinions much more than I did the in the past. I can't express how happy I was when I found this channel, and was able to watch my old friends again. I'm aware of how long this comment is, I just wanted to say thank you for showing me what I thought I'd never see again.

My 70 year old father still talks about my Cannon Ball Run board game and how it bad it was lol

@haruruben Год назад

Hehe even the board game was bad? People like the first one but I lost interest in it about a third of the way in

That redneck leisure suit Stallone wore while singing Drinkenstein should have won the award for best supporting actor...

Sheena looks like a girl who never spent a day in a jungle.

@thelostone6981 Год назад

Haha. Just watched Cannonball Run II last night with my wife and when I told her it was directed by the same guy who did Rad, she slapped “downstairs” because she hates Rad. 😂😂 As of January 2023, Cannonball Run II is free on RU-vid right now btw.

It was fun watching these two tear into a movie

@markelijio6012 2 года назад

The Woman in Red, Cannonball Run II and Micki & Maude were the biggest moneymaking hits of 1984 while Friday the 13th Part 4, Silent Night Deadly Night, Starman and Windy City were doing okay at the box office but City Heat, Best Defense, Harry & Son, Where the Boys Are, Sheena, Rhinestone, Dune, Bolero, Johnny Dangerously, Swing Shift and Fandango were all box office disappointments.

I can see how Dune probably would have disappointed the fans of Frank Herbert's epic. There's just no way anyone could've worked everything in that book into a two-hour movie. But for people who had never read it, like me, I thought it worked. You are able to grasp the situation. It's got a good feel. The sets are incredible, the performances are good, the special effects are adequate (despite the obvious miniature work, but that's where we were in '84), and Toto's music is very good, especially the end credits. It's not the greatest sci-fi movie ever made, but it's good enough. It's better than all the Star Wars and Trek clones we had to put up with at that time.

@queenglamazona8789 Год назад

Dune is actually better than the Recent Remake that was made by that Overrated Hack Della Noveu, or whatever his name is.

@terrygracy8345 Год назад

I’ve read the books and still think Lynch’s Dune is ok. As you said the sets are amazing. Great cast. And follows the books pretty well considering the time constraints

@timreeves8937 4 месяца назад

It was needlessly gross with too much narration and thoughts instead of good dialog and showing us. People got what Lynch was doing, it just was people did not like it.

@youtuuba Год назад

Siskel slammed Dune mostly because of things that are in the book, while initially noting that the novel is well-loved. I don't mind critics making legitimate complaints about how a movie ended up, or even if they observe that elements of the story might be distasteful, but his critique here seems to be be very unfocused and rather unfair to the filmmakers.

@emanuellawton7942 Год назад

Director Richard Benjamin made a great film a couple of years before "City Heat" called "My Favorite Year" with Peter O'Toole. What a difference it can make when you have a good script and the right direction which"City Heat " was sorely lacking.

@markelijio6012 10 месяцев назад

In August/September 1980, he took over the direction from Blake Edwards on "City Heat" at Warners/Turner. Then he brought Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds in their roles. Along with several other supporting cast members including Jane Alexander, Irene Cara, Rip Torn, Richard Roundtree, Madeline Kahn and Tony LoBianco. Plus several crew members including producers Fritz Manes, Art Levinson, Patrick J. Palmer, screen/storywriters Samuel Fuller, Joseph Stinson, casting director Marion Dougherty, costume designer Albert Wolsky, music adaptor/conductor Lennie Niehaus, cinematographer Bruce Surtees (replaced Nick McLean), production designer Edward C. Carfagno and film editors Jacqueline Cambas and Ron Spang. Four years in the making, the troubled production was finally released in theaters on Friday, December 14, 1984 and has now becoming an cult classic. Filmed at Universal Studios in Universal City, California - U.S.A.

Sheena looks hilarious. I really want to watch it now.

@drumtum 2 года назад

Friday the 13th the final chapter is actually really good. My favourite in that series. Never understood the hate for The Woman in Red either. Bolero and Sheena were hilariously bad though.

Dune is my quality pleasure. The extended version is pretty good imo.

@timreeves8937 4 месяца назад

1984 was a terrible year for movies, but ironically, it was one of the best years in music ever. Just looking at even the top 100 songs of the year, it is almost astounding how many big hits there were that are still on the radio now by some of the biggest names of all time. I don't know if movie quality is inversely related to music quality, but it sure was in the 1980's. Almost all movies in the mid 80's were like this. Big stars coasting in vanity projects on their names in terrible movies, lame sequels and and buddy cop pictures.

Loved Dune lol.

@queenglamazona8789 Год назад

It's got Sting in Butterfly Speedos. What's not to like ?

@littlekingtrashmouth9219 2 года назад

I feel like the only person who didn’t like the woman in red. It was unfunny, cruel, mean spirited, vapid, I was actively rooting against Gene Wilder‘s character, and I just called to say I love you is Stevie Wonder‘s worst song. Fight me. I don’t care

@gspendlove Год назад

I think you missed the point. Kelly LeBrock's bush is in that movie and that made up for all its shortcomings. It's literally the only thing I remember about The Lady in Red.

@littlekingtrashmouth9219 Год назад

@@gspendlove and in a PG-13 movie! The Last Tycoon has a butt in it though, and that’s PG

@DestinyPifer Год назад

I hated it too! His character was terrible to his poor wife and also Gilda Radner's character. Even when LeBrock's character tosses him aside you know he is going to cheat with someone else.

@thelostone6981 Год назад

@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 I never saw that one, but there so many movies where people shouldn’t love the “hero” if they thought about it for a few minutes. Revenge of the Nerds comes to mind instantly. Filming women in the shower without their permission and “r*** through deception”…

I liked Sheena. It's one of my Favorites.

@williamblakehall5566 7 месяцев назад

I have a lot of problems with Sheena, but I enjoy it, and wow, did Siskel and Ebert, who I usually respect, get the music wrong. Sheena's lifelong mentor and best friend is unjustly imprisoned and Sheena is summoning animals to help rescue her. It's a tender, sweet, triumphant moment, and the music is appropriately sweet and triumphant. In fact, the music is the movie's best feature, it's very sentimental but I'm a sucker for it.

@queenglamazona8789 6 месяцев назад

I wish they had made a Sequel to Sheena. Would've loved to have seen that Character in more Movies.
