I just discovered Siskel and Ebert and I love them.
You're in for an amazing time.
👍👍
So many great clips. RUclips them on Howard Stern too.
All of Ebert's written reviews are on his prior website. Also check out his Great Movies article series. Best wishes.

Seeing Siskel and Ebert argue is so damn hilarious.
@David Gibson
To Geniuses.
It's also a symbol of a bygone era: the days when anything on TV was unscripted and off-the-cuff. I exaggerate a bit (I'm sure it happens sometimes nowadays), but you know what I mean
siskel and ebert arguing is funny, but siskel and ebert teaming up against letterman is hilarious
These two on Letterman were a national treasure.
Amen!
These guys were a treasure. Miss these days
"And you can't get to LA sittin' in a theatre" Dave is one sharp tomatuh!!
Good line. Always very quick.
42:44 - by far my favorite moment in this - the high five shows just how good of friends they are. it's like "well done, sir. well played."
I’m not afraid to admit that during the coronavirus, my first year at college he been tough. But every once in a while I watch all of these compilations and make me happy
Wish Kubrick had lived much longer. One of his movies can be rewatched anytime!
Hang in there
In this post COVID world we live in, I can't help but shudder everytime they shake hands.
One fascinating thing about these wonderful compilations is watching the evolution of the mood of S&E in their appareances -- from stiff and a little uncomfortable to relaxed and even festive -- and how much respect and a kind of bromance developed with Dave. 👍👍
Again, I could not praise Don Giller more about his amazing labour of love. 👍👍
Yo, thank you so, so much for these uploads. The more Siskel and Ebert content the world has, the better.
Binge watching now...thank you, Don! I love the threesome talking about what they like and don't like about films.
Movies nowadays just ain't the same.
Fair play to Gene - he guessed exactly right for Best Picture (Driving Miss Daisy) and Best Actress (Jessica Tandy).
He got supporting actress too.
these two were the best guests in the history of talk shows, man. who else can you just let _spin_ like that among themselves and get real, quality humor by just looking baffled out at the audience?
Hearing all those good movies that were in JUST ONE YEAR....Now we can't get hardly one.
I had forgotten Michael J Fox was such a fun talk show guest. Makes me want to see The Hard Way now.
@ 50:05 I love how Gene pockets the busted pencil end, I bet it still exists in a drawer somewhere in Chicago
i been watching these all night
These three are so entertaining together. Thank you for posting.
Wow! I just gave a "Thumbs up" to Siskel and Ebert!
Love those guys I miss them. I used to not go to a movie unless my man Roger liked it.
Hahaha I remember watching that interview when Roger Ebert said "Wake Up That Dying Daughter!" I died watching that and rewound that a 1000 times. Of course I forgot about it until now.
I just did the same thing at the wake up your dying daughter part! Rewatched like 5 times and laughed harder each time!
Miss these guys
24:42 Gene's funny John Wayne story and Roger's impression had me laughing
I’m down a huge Siskel & Ebert wormhole
Thank u for posting this
50:11 Gene pockets the broken pencil as a souvenir, just like he asked to keep a cue card in a previous episode
I just saw that!!
Yes!! Somebody else noticed.
That was cool how he just subtly stole it lol
Dave gives him the cue card from his final appearance on the show too
Makes me realize what a lost art the night time talk show is. Siskel and Ebert must be turning over in their graves when they see what the movie industry has become.
I'm SO glad I doscovered your channel ! I saw most of these when they originally aired.. FOND memories indeed. Thanks !
I loved Do the Right Thing. I can understand why it wasn't nominated, as it has a confrontational vibe, but I still think it deserved a nomination for its sheer daring and ferocity.
45:49 Nice! Got to hear that great "Madonna likes to shock us." line. It went totally over almost everyone in the room's head. But he kept at it, I remember at least one or two other times he repeated that line and I remember it getting laughs. This time nothin' much at all. The line really reminds me of Norm MacDonald's stuff both in content and in the way Dave doesn't abandon the joke. They really shared a certain style of comedy and their respect and enjoyment of each always seemed very genuine. I'm enjoying this series, both for S & E, but also because it's just a great cultural time capsule.
i dont get the line
@@1sepriani It's just a comedic way of stating the obvious as if it's an original thought or revelation.
Love how they rotate seats on each appearance.
Thank you Don! You are the man! I appreciate you for posting this. All your posts are great. Your songs are great. I would implore you to please… please keep posting!!!!! There is so much more!!
So many more comps, and full shows. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you! But the days of uploading more Dave are, unfortunately, over.
I love how they rotate who gets to sit next to Dave.
Coin flip
They did not deserve dying slowly and painfully as they did. They were just two insightful and likeable guys who loved watching and discussing the movies.
I miss entertainment like this unbiased and funny
Thanks again, Don. What a treat these are!
I could watch this all day.
You're the best, I used to record their appearances, thank you!
You should upload them!
I could've sworn that I've already heard Dave's story before watching this video. Turns out its the same story he told in one of his Carson appearances, to which Carson replied, "Never joke with the tradespeople."
Except when he told it on Carson it was a guy and not a girl serving coffee.
When Dave made a crack that Siskel wore a tie and Ebert didn’t, the next appearance Ebert had a tie on too. These guys, competitive about EVERYTHING. 😂 They argued endlessly, always tried to outdo each other and often disagreed, but in the end, they actually became friends, and Ebert truly missed Siskel and honored him after his death. They were the best together though, and were very entertaining. People who weren’t around back then don’t know this, but EVERYONE watched them; from nursery school to the nursing home. 😂
EDIT: My favorite interview from this batch? March 14, 1991. Laughed till I cried. From the Cosby dig to a drunk Chism and Ebert’s John Wayne impression, “weak defense” 😂🤣😂🤣😂 to the way they say in unison “16 years”, Dave zinging on all cylinders, and the whole interview really. It was utterly hilarious and at times even delightful but mostly sharply scathing. 😂 Can’t believe Siskel didn’t like Silence Of The Lambs OR New Jack City OR Back To The Future. 😱🤯😳 wow. Those are considered classics now, and very highly revered films. Those opinions didn’t hold up very well over time. And I agree 💯 about The Doors. LOVE that film. It IS Oliver’s fan movie and without a lot of historical accuracy; but it’s a transfixing, utterly hypnotic film with outstanding performances, music (of course) and the best performance of Kilmer’s entire career. I saw it as a very young teen of 13. It’s also the film that made me want to try LSD…and that’s all I have to say about that. 😂🤣
Beautiful comment, was sincerely such a pleasure to read no joke but I think thats a pretty speculative justification for Ebert's tie :)
“Oprah, you’ve got the biggest head I have ever seen.”
funny line
Remember when late night was like this. Good with good guests
Holy moly! Laser Disc and VCR+.
This Holiday Special is really gonna have some cutting edge tech!
Dave mentioned VHD as well.
You can find that holiday special on youtube too
No film critic ever sat like Gene Siskel, before or since. Incredible.
THANK YOU
Watching this old stuff reminds me of how good stuff USED to be. Now almost every late night show is hard to watch.
Late night tv used to be worth your time. It’s geared for the ADD generation now.
You're so right
It’s all political now
These guys are great
How I like this guys, their love for movies and their fights! I think they are a treasure for american culture. But I felt more surprised to see this young Michael J. Fox. He was a child!! 33:42
I have watched/listened to these vids an embarrassing amount of times.
That's a nice vintage design suit Gene Siskel is wearing.
Whoever uploaded this thank you....
You’re quite welcome. :)
Oprah is a size 8 hat. Learn something new every day.
16 YEARS......
I liked the quick mention by dave around 1:03 of VHD, the RCA video on vinyl system that was way too late and a total bomb. Might have been way too late to market and buggy to ever be commercially viable, but it is interesting tech. The dude from Technology Connections covered it very well on his channel.
When the audience boo their jabs at one another it feels like we're watching a pub fight
Pandemic: The Movie (Two Thumbs Down: It just goes on for too long with no clear resolution)--Thank you for the diversion!
Ebert hating Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart is still so strange to me
Notice how Roger busted up laughing when Dave asked Gene about Oprah's head/hat size...because he knew right away what Dave was getting to? LMAO :)
Justin Brockshus Oprah insists on being on the cover of every issue of her magazine, so if that does not tell you something then ... well ... I do not know what does!
When you are talking about one line in a 1h+ clip plz say/link at what times it happens
"How long have we been talking about LaserDisc and you still don't have a machine?"
Nobody else did, either. Made sense when watching this stuff is your job, I suppose, but for most of the market VHS which could record television was a much better bet.
Never caught on stateside, pretty sure they were popular in Japan tho.
True Dave...he's incredibly witty and quick.
7:01 Hah Gene was so sure on that one! Cruise was never going to get one.
He gave an Oscar worthy performance though. He was great.
Okay, my favorite clip has to be the reviews of Dave's story.
I love love love Gene siskel
"You have to get a laserdisc" is so 1991.
33:43 I saw this the night it first aired and for some reason it has stuck with me ever since. I think it's because I was so impressed with how articulate Michael J Fox was (and is, too.)
never laughed so hard in my life
31:35 I can't get enough of Siskel wanting to send Ebert to New Jack City to get killed.
The Thin Blue Line is a great documentary
" ... that there mus have been something in that film....... that set him off personally".
" There was. There was. There was something that definitely set me off personally"
"What was that"?
"It was a really bad film"
LOL. Classic!🤣
@1:03:07 I didn't expect to suddenly hear a discussion about RCA's failed CED non-laser video disc format.
Anybody notice they alternate between who sits closer to Dave on each appearance?
I think they flip a coin.
I think they flipped a coin the first time and then just kept alternating.
Letterman: "We wanted to have Cosby on the show..."
Ebert: "... Did you see Ghost Dad? How about Leonard Part 6?"
😂
Eh, to be honest Siskel and Ebert just sounds better to me than Ebert and Siskel.
Maybe the most shocking thing about Roger Ebert to me is that he was never a David Lynch fan.
If I didn't know I'd just assume Ebert would be all over those movies.
Anyone know what movie Dave's referring to about the blind woman jumping off a horse??
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
“I’m having my monkey dipped.”
“Can you say that on television?” 😅
7:24 - This is so accurate.
I watched Dead Poets Society and Robin Williams is barely in it!
It's funny Ebert mentioned people calling him Siskel, I couldn't tell you which was which as a kid
I miss these guys so much. Both gone too soon
"How do you think the horses feel?"
Gene was right--Driving Miss Daisy won 1990 Best Picture.
The band playing "Two Hearts" at 1:00:00 LOL
Great choice. (Also, whenever Gabriel Byrne was a guest, they'd play "Disco Inferno" ("Burn ! Byrne ! ) LOL
26:41 haha what a great moment
49:15..." doesn't even regain her sight again. "
38:16 Roger busting up laughing because he knows what Dave is getting to. LMAO Hilarious. :)
I dont get it
@14AspenDrive There's always a pre-interview, so Dave already knew the story about Oprah's hat 👒 size, and Roger and Gene knew Dave knew, and that he knew they knew he knew. LOL 🙂 Dave just brought it up in a funny way.
Anyone know the outro song the band play at 10:40 ?
Al Green: “Here I Am (Come and Take Me).” Here’s the original recording - ruclips.net/video/vHAXp39WjZM/видео.html
Siskel was right...Driving Miss Daisy won best picture
INCLUDING THE FINAL APPEARANCE OF THE ROBOTIC ARM!!
FINAL APPEARANCE! The final appearance of the Robotic Arm!
FINAL APPERANCEEEEEEEEE
They got meaner to each other over the years
Actually, they grew closer over the years.
In the beginning, they disliked each other because they were at competing newspapers.
But over the years they established a good chemistry and began to respect one another.
You could see Roger’s concern for Siskel when he was very ill on the show. Roger sort of eased up on him then.
He was also a pallbearer at Siskel’s funeral.
1:09:34 Dave says he won’t see a movie without a good “butt shot” in it. Around this time it seemed like butt shots were all the rage in movies.
Bootsy Collins! 12:50.
The angel/Devil bit with Thelma & Louise is one of Siskel and Ebert’s funniest moments. I guess who’s the angel and who’s the devil depends on both who you like more and your opinion of Thelma & Louise
I would love to see a movie about these two. I think their story would be better and funnier with the right writer then Private Parts. I got it casted too, Nicholas Cage as Gene and maybe someone like Dan Fogler as Roger. I just see those two as Roger and Gene. I think Gene was a big fan of Cage too.
Probably the 3 biggest curmudgeons in TV history. Love it
it's pretty incredible, the amount of pure star wattage there was on tap just for that ONE stupid, stupid helium story.
Goodfellas baby
One person did NOT like Dave's story...🤔
God rest both Gene and Roger's souls but I loved Pacific Heights. I actually think it has one of Keaton's best performances. It also inspired alot worse movies.
It was Driving Miss Daisy, to the Academy's shame.
Siskel&Ebert.org The Siskel&Ebert Archives are alive&well,check it out:)
Siskel calls out the all White Academy and does not mention Do the Right Thing snub that year.
