Ebert said Fargo was the best film of 1996, then years later said that No Country for Old Men was the best Film the Coen brothers had ever made.
I think he was right both times..

The 90’s look like the 80’s now

Kudos to Gene for being ballsy enough to include "Kingpin" on his list, a great comedy that was unjustly panned. This looks much better today than Roeper's irreverent selection of "Shallow Hal" in 2001.

Primal Fear was a damn good film

I’ve been binging S&E for a week now, and they were so great together. So many good movies I never heard of watching these episodes )(and I love movies!) btw, the theme song does not get the love it deserves! It’s killer!

Breaking The Waves was superb.

"Secrets and Lies" is an incredible film. No. 2 and 3 on their lists. Too bad they didn't talk about it here.

on the world wide web in 1996. How pioneering of them.

I love Welcome to the Dollhouse and Paraside Lost. And of course Fargo.

Primal Fear would be high on my list.

4:24 Ebert was hysterical at times..

To me, it was Lone Star, Secrets & Lies and Fargo that were the unbeatable films of 1996.

I love that Gene gave Kingpin props. I remember seeing it 3 times in the theatre and my stomach hurting from laughing

The reunion scene in Fargo was necessary, because it revealed that Marge discovered she was easily fooled by Mike's deceit. That triggers a reevaluation of her interactions with Jerry.

Everyone Says I Love You is still my favorite Woody movie. Just wonderful. The few people I showed it too didn't like it though, and I don't get why I never hear it mentioned anymore.

I really their miss them reviewing films every week. It was a great way to keep up with what films were out there. Thanks for everything guys. Things are just not the same anymore without you.
