Time After Time is one of my favorite movies EVER. I never get tired of watching it
Mine too! Hidden gem.
One sci-fi movie I missed because I was too young in 1979. Then maybe the "Jack the Ripper" time-travel story put me off on renting it, previously. I like Mary Steenburgen in other movies. Maybe someday.
@@sandal_thong8631You should, it is very original and exciting. Also a great love story with good comic moments. And David Warner as Jack the Ripper is very menacing and memorable
.
Ok, so maybe these guys do get some kinds of comedy. Life of Brian is one of the best ever.
Time after Time was charming.
The Onion Field was BRILLIANT! I would like to see it again.
These two are pretty locked in here, much smoother and comfortable in front of cameras than they were in '76.
I thought it was strange that Ebert referred to Time After Time as a "comedy".
It is a pretty dark film.
I was shocked too when they referred to it as a comedy. I recall being a very little boy while watching this THRILLER. I mean, it's about Jack the Ripper.
I agree. But still, there are a few brilliant comedic moments in the film especially when Wells encounters his first McDonalds.
Siskel said as he was introducing "The Life of Brian" said, "And we have 2 good comedies..."
@@lowbridge7070 I agree. It's a thriller with humor. It's a romance. But it's not a comedy primarily.
Definitely not a comedy, but it does have comedic moments primarily with Wells character trying to adjust to being in the future in San Fran as opposed to Victorian London.
I picked up a DVD of The Onion Field because I couldn't find it streaming anywhere, and I'm glad I did. It is definitely worth seeing.
Onion Field is one of the best movies ever made Joseph wambaugh got it absolutely right critics and critics who say that movies like this aren't realistic don't know what they're talking about this is one of the most realistic movies about cops ever made
Time After Time is one of my favorite movies, and the only thing that surprised me here was that Siskel & Ebert both called it a "Comedy." I would never have called it that, although it absolutely has plenty of charming moments. For me, it's a straight-up sci-fi thriller with dashes of romance and comedy. And all the actors -- MacDowall, Steenburgen, and a superb David Warner -- are just superb.
As a kid, I watched Time After Time over and over and over. I loved the movie. I actually watched it recently. It's still fun.
Loved "Time after Time"..remember was supposed to see with my father and sister at the movies..but he was divorcing my mother and got into a big fight with her and we didn`t go....bad memory but watched it on HBO later....Onion Field is also really good..
I saw The Onion Field sometime probably in the eighties and thought it was a good movie, but I saw it again about ten years ago and I didn't think it held up. It seemed like a movie of the week.
@18:15 No Oscar nomination for James Woods; though he was a Golden Globe nominee and a couple of other nominations. Did win for Best Supporting Actor in Kansas City Film Critics Circle Awards.
I watched Time After Time multiple times when it was on HBO in the 80s!
LOL Good thing Gene recovered at the end there talking about Bronson's wife. I'm sure Gene wouldn't have wanted Charles Bronson to think Gene meant he could've married someone better.
you know the reviews are good if they stand the test of time.
While there are some amusing moments in Time to Time, I never considered it to be a ‘comedy’. HG Wells’ pursuit of Jack The Ripper involves some pretty serious and dramatic moments, like the Steenburgan character finding out she was murdered in that newspaper….
It’s a fantasy, time travel, love story…. An excellent film.
i LOVE "Time After Time" i never thought of it as a comedy though. i used to constantly confused the title with the Christopher Reeves film "Somewhere In Time", to this day i still think those two films should swap titles though as i feel both title would better represent the other film.
Been binging these (thanks for the uploads/preservation) and gotta say the only improvement I can think of is if each episode opened and ended with a skit of the two scamming an old man by fixing up his VCR player
With "Time After Time" I expected an action packed, time traveling, crime thriller. What I got was a more sweet and endearing drama. Great flick nonetheless.
Peppermint Soda really is a female 400 Blows. Great film and reminded me of Wes Anderson films, maybe this film inspired him 🤷♂️?
Love and Bullets--the axe in the back of Henry Silva(I forget ) is all I remember
Bronson always wanted his wife to play the leading ladies in his movies. That wouldn't have been such a bad thing if she actually had what it takes to fill such roles.
She was a good actress. Watch ''From Noon Till Three'' ''The Girl, The Gold Watch & Everything''
@@amberlopez7477 I saw her From Noon Till Three and I was not impressed by her. She was good enough to fill minor roles but that's it.
A man deciding to identify "as a woman called Loretta", both laugh, and Siskel comments: "a typically silly moment". I only you knew, Gene...
What happened with the film clip from Peppermint Soda? Looks like most of it was cut?
Due to copyright claims, some times segments need to be cropped out.
It’s really a shame what happened to James Woods. He was such a good actor .
I agree, It's a shame what the left has done to him for speaking his mind.
I agree, it's a shame for a man not to fall in line and become a literal mouthpiece for the democratic party.
Was it ever established in life who shot Ian Campbell?
Seems strange to have Life of Brian listed last in the title, why'd you do that? It's the biggest most known plus the featured movie of this episode.
well it`s British so it should be last...
Time After Time was a COMEDY??? It's a scifi classic!
Raised in the church I don't find Life of Brian offensive at all.
I've tried a few times to watch the debate on Life of Brian with John Cleese and Michael Palin on one side and two comical critics on the other but it was embarrassing how poorly the adversaries present their arguments. They seem to have seen a totally different film from the one we all saw. They just refused to see beyond the opening sermon on the mount sequence and believed the rest of the film to be an attack on Jesus and Christianity. Years later John said he had notes in his pocket that would have destroyed the religious critic but felt sorry for him and decided not to use them. Michael Palin was observably angered by the stupidity of the two critics. In a few more years they'll have The Last Temptation of Christ to ruffle their sanctimonious feathers over. I kind of wish they stuck with the original title: Jesus Christ-- Lust for Glory.
Cheese and Palin were the smartest men in the room
One of the big signs of religious blindness and ignorance -- no sense of humor. They are literally dehumanized by their blind, fanatical devotion to a death cult with an engraved image of "the son of god" nailed to a stick as its central idol.
The Onion Field was a horribly painful movie to watch. It was & still is, an indictment of our broken 'justice systerm', which loses sight od the actual victims & kowtows to the 'rights' of people with no brains &/or no morals. TgT
And, very sadly, NOTHING has changed with our injustice system, and it has only gotten a thousand times worse. Time for that asteroid to slam into us or...something like that, to end this horrible sham-world.
No great film can be painful.
In this episode, Siskel dumps on not one but two female actors. Why he had such hostility towards female actors, only he knew.
Back when absolutely everyone knew how insane it was for a man to claim to be a woman. We have to bring our culture back to that. God help us
I love how Siskel and Ebert are laughing at the ridiculousness of a man wanting to be a woman. Silly than, silly now.
How to say "I'm terrified of my own feelings" without saying it.
Oh give it a rest.
Time After Time was Not a comedy. Unless you find brutal murders of young women by a vicious serial killer comedy.
