"They could have sold tickets to the door!" 😄

"They could've sold tickets to the door." That's incredible. I laughed out loud.

Funny, I just watched their "worst of... " for 1985. Siskel ends it by saying "Next week, we review four new movies that HAVE to be better than these - including "Revolution" starring Al Pacino and Nastasia Kinski..." And what is on their list for the worst movies of 86? "Revolution" starring Al Pacino and Nastasia Kinski!

They get a lot of retro flack now for some of their picks, especially on horror. But Gene Siskel is the only mainstream critic in America that gave Carpenter's 'The Thing' a positive review in 1982.

"That's what you get paid for".
"Not enough". ❤️❤️❤️😄

10:42 Gene's King Kong Lives speech is so passionate it makes Kennedy's inaugural sound like high school debate.

Siskel & Ebert brought more shade in one of these “Worst of the Year” episodes than entire seasons of Drag Race.

Who would of thought a movie review show that started on public television would still be relevant 45 years later.  Gene & Roger stand the test of time and are close to film "prophets"

Roger's "King Kong Lives" anecdote LOL.

"Sequel-itis" -- I like that new word coined by Siskel (excoriating The Hitcher) a lot. It's a disease in Hollywood that has only grown to more extreme epidemic levels in the intervening decades since this review.

This is the first time I had to adjust my tracking on YouTube.
I’m just glad it worked.

Usually agreed with them but they are wrong about the Hitcher

The violence in "The Hitcher" was disturbing at the time, but that's what made it so genuinely scary.

WORST FILMS OF 1986
1:48 EXTREMITIES
3:43 HEARTBURN
5:42 THE HITCHER
8:37 HOWARD THE DUCK
10:42 KING KONG LIVES
12:38 PIRATES
14:19 REVOLUTION
16:12 TAI-PAN
18:07 THREE AMIGOS
19:15 UNDER THE CHERRY MOON

They were both especially fiesty in this episode, but Gene was savage.

I loved Siskel and Ebert but they always got a few movies wrong, "The Hitcher" and "Three Amigos" being the movies on this list. But hey, they had their opinions like anyone else!

8:40 - I been told that at Star Wars conventions "Howard the Duck" is the GREAT UNMENTIONABLE!!

The Hitcher had its moments, started out cool, overall kind of an 80s classic, but it lost me at the point where as Roger said, "they abandoned reality" and when it just got so over the top.

WOW! 12:00 in and these guys are officially my mainstream heroes!
Calling out the studios for trying to nullify their critique is beautiful. Well done Sis and E!

every year there seems to be a walter matthau movie on the list lol
