- This probably hasn't been uploaded yet. So I'll post it. I agree with their choices. And would also include Metalstorm, Spacehunter, Flashdance, etc.
The Lonely Lady was my pick for The Worst of '83.

I grew up with these two on pbs. I was devastated when Siskel died, and remember my parents even being sad. They were a big part of my moviegoing childhood. R.I.P. SE
At this point they were in commercial syndication.
I had to laugh when Roger said “I paid $5.00 - what are you trying to show me?”
Love the bonus ad breaks !!
Brian Backer in the Dorito’s commercial was fun to watch. He played Mark in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I loved his date with Jennifer Jason Leigh. So funny. He was real the heart of that film. Truly excellent comedy about high school that wasn’t afraid to show it’s fangs. 🎱
Led Zeppelin 4?....
I remember him from Moving Violations.
Really miss Roger and Gene. Used to watch them all the time. Can't say I agreed with everyone of their reviews over the years but I really enjoyed their program.
How strange, they forgot to mention Superman III.
That was a terrible movie.
They were both big fans of Pryor. Maybe they wanted to cut him a break. I agree though, I was 9 when I saw this thing in the theatre and even then I thought it was awful.
Not as bad as Superman 4 though.
@@user-eh3zz5jg9i IV was worst
Not strange, just so bad they wanted to forget about it, or the studios wouldn't send a copy to be reviewed cause of how bad it really is.
I truly miss the early PBS shows. The show became too homogenized when it into syndication back in '82. Staying Alive! OMG! I snuck into the theater with a friend. Felt like I was ripped off. Wanted to complain and try to be compensated for the pain and suffering but I would have been busted for sneaking in. Lol!
It was syndicated in 86 and it was better.
The only difference between PBS and Syndication was the intro, and I prefer the Rad Taxi Driver. Seriously, it was always two intelligent guys talking movies. They never changed.
@@CaptainSpalding72 This is syndicated too.
Fun Trivia: The Sting 2 earned an Academy Award nomination for Lalo Schifrin's adapted score in 1984 and it was distributed by Universal.
Love the commercials, takes me back
I wonder what they would have thought if someone told them that there would be 16 more Amityville sequels after this.
Amityville II is the scariest and the best.
Didn’t one of the sequels claim a random clock that was in the house was responsible for the murders?
Amityville: It's About Time (1992)...another terrible sequel.
20 now... ugh
There were more Amityville sequels coming up,
so don't go away.
I like the old theme... very whimsical
I think that 1983 was the last time I ever rooted for a shark...
That clip from Jaws 3D honestly felt like one of those comedy movie scenes in which one character tries to convince the others he or she has “the next big movie”, and then he or she shows them a clip and it turns out it’s terrible.
23:33 That's Dr. Silberman from the first two Terminator movies, Sarah Connor's psychiatrist, in the Soft Scrub commercial.
Good catch!
Actually he's in the first 3
The cemetery scene
Earl Boen
Yeah, they missed the boat on "Krull" but a lot of people did at the time. I saw it when it first came out in 1983 and really enjoyed it. It's since become a cult classic.
RIP to the late great Robbie Coltrane.
I liked Krull too. Miss Roger and Gene so much.
The soft scrub commercial really is a throwback! The actor in it was on several episodes of the Golden Girls as a clergyman in each one, all unrelated, but his few minutes on film were priceless!
He was in so many things--wish I could place his name!
Earl Boen. He has indeed been in everything. I was watching some old home movies the other day and there he was, playing my dad.
He was the psychiatrist in Terminator 1 and 2. Actually he was in the third one now that I think about it, but I try not to remember.
Passed away Jan 5, 2023
speaking of sequels, Mark Ratner back for that Doritos commercial! Fast Times at Doritos High
Spielberg put "Jaws in Hologram" in Back to the Future 2 that "attacks" Marty in the future. Good joke.
"I can't even remember what Krull was! Sounds like a dessert." 😆
my mom loved Krull
@@tarap9924 The movie or the dessert?

that was the 3-D revival year....and one I loved Friday the 13th 3-D was a blast...most were awful
Fun Trivia: Some of the films were making money at the box-office: Return of the Jedi, Vacation, Risky Business and Flashdance. Cult favorites including Jaws 3-D, All the Right Moves, Porky's 2, The Star Chamber, Star 80, Blue Skies Again, Staying Alive and Superman III were doing okay. But several others were stinkers at the box-office and they are: Krull, Smokey and the Bandit 3, The Sting 2, Doctor Detroit, Metalstorm, Spacehunter, The Osterman Weekend, Deal of the Century, Amityville 3-D, Stroker Ace, Trenchcoat and more of which because of production problems and other things were going on the set.
One of the best box office successes of that year (which everyone assumed would be doomed to failure) was the absolutely brilliant sequel, 'Psycho II'
"Psycho II" was Australian filmmaker Richard Franklin's first US picture as helmer
for Universal International, Oak Industries, Bel-Air Enterprises and
Hughes Entertainment, a brilliant sequel to the Oscar nominated
"Psycho."
The year of Return of the Jedi, Vacation, and Risky Business sure had a lot of stinkers.
Any year with a Star Wars film is a bad year.
@@natemiller448 are you implying that you don’t like Star Wars?
@@natemiller448 WHAT!
ROTJ is the worst of the original trilogy.
90% of the films from 1980 on, were so-so at best! Endless, horrible sequels, teen sex comedies, many frivolous, unnecessary films
I'll bet that composer took literally a morning coming up with that theme tune
Of all the 3D horror flicks that came out in 1983 the only one that actually looked decent and was technically proficient was rather ironically Friday The 13th: 3D.
10:16 Mark Rattner!
*The Burning!*
Filmed in 1979 and released in 1981 by Orion Pictures/CaribeVision. Featuring a few great names who went to on have wonderful careers: Holly Hunter, Fisher Stevens,
Jason Alexander, Leah Ayres and Brian Backer as well as fillmmakers Harvey Weinstein
and Brad Grey.
OMG, forgot about the Sting 2!!! The money would have to be huge, then I would apologize in the trade papers for making a stinker!
1980 through 2000 was all sequels. 2001 to the present is all remakes.
Poor Jackie was in two rotten movies in 1983
After both movies were bombed badly at the box office, Jackie Gleason needs a big hit in his hands. With a little help from
legendary producer Ray Stark at Columbia Pictures under Frank Price, Mario Kassar, Peter Guber, Jon Peters, John Calley,
Amy Pascal, Laurie MacDonald and more for bringing Nothing in Common to the big screen. Released in the summer of 1986. Directed by Garry Marshall with Tom Hanks, Eva Marie Saint, Bess Armstrong, Sela Ward and Hector Elizondo.
Written by Rick Podell & Mike Preminger, Executive Produced by Alexandra Rose. Co-Produced by Nick Abdo.
It was Columbia's sleeper hit of the year. This marked Jackie Gleason's final film role before his death in 1987.
Nothing in common was a bomb too!
@@curtgottler9961 I see what you're saying
and I understand this one, Curt.
I'll be very honest with you, okay?
It wasn't a big financial success on its release as anybody expects to see but it was a cult classic. But it took years later
when Tom Hanks got a great success with
"Big" which earned his first Oscar nomination in 1989 while veteran filmmaker
Garry Marshall rebounded himself with great success such as "Beaches," "Pretty
Woman" et cetera and even legendary indie
producer Ray Stark of StudioCanal also
rebounded himself with great success including "Steel Magnolias" along with "Harriet the Spy" and one long running TV show was "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" on syndication. Sadly, he died in 2004.
Thank you for leaving the commercials in. The vintage ads are benefical to the experience.
2:48 That guy deserved an Ocscar for screaming like a final girl 😂
Are you crazy?
Technically this is At The Movies. They hosted Sneak Previews on PBS, then left for syndication in 1982. Finally they switched syndication partners to Buena Vista in 1986 and had their final show just called Siskel and Ebert
Jeffrey Lyons and Michael Medved took over Sneak Previews for PBS
I think that was Jeffrey Lyons and Neal Gabler. Medved arrived later.
@@uhdudewhy7980 also At The Movies itself soldiered on. Rex Reed took over in 1986
So 3 different movie criticism shows
Tons of fun, just don't agree with them about Osterman Weekend, it was Sam Peckinpah finale popcorn insanity, with a very young Rutger Hauer and great addl cast.
Sadly, this was Sam Peckinpah's final picture as
helmer before his death in 1985.
You notice that most of these turkeys are sequels?
Watched Staying Alive in the theatre. Yikes.
I wish our hero’s could live forever but then Again you wouldn’t appreciate them as much
I LIKED Jaws 3D. It was campy enough to be fun.
Thanks for these great memories.
I remember seeing the buddy system in heart like A wheel in the theaters around the same
I know a lot of people thought sequels were creatively bankrupt but I'm curious of the 007/Bond Films were in the discussion back then as more proof or as an outlier/exception to the rule?
I never got that line of reasoning. A lot of my favorite movies of all time are technically sequels.
The sequels that "worked" all spawned off of interesting and sprawling universes, usually backed by rich literary material behind them - and even then, they usually only succeed when it's done by extremely careful and capable filmmakers. The point still stands that for the majority of sequels, they end up being low effort commercial exercises that capitalize on the success of the original purely to make money off of the name.
And the complaint for sequels in S&E days ended up becoming prophetic for today's landscape, where it's become standard practice to cash out on any movie that has even the modest success at box office by spawning a sequel. In fact, almost all the fears and concerns by S&E about the state of cinema in their early days ended up materializing in today's cinema.
And the subject today is going to be sequels. The subject today is gonna be sequels.
Thanks for including the commercials
I dont disagree, but AMITYVILLE 3D i enjoy for its badness. And I do love KRULL.
I've wondered for the longest time
if the people that made the movie 'Staying Alive' (the sequel to Saturday Night Fever)
are aware that _the song is famously titled_
"Stayin' Alive" 25:33
(in the lyrical idiom of the 1st person - y'know, the guy who's "A woman's man, no time to talk..." etc)
In early 1982, they left PBS's Sneak Previews and moved to Tribune's syndicated At The Movies. I recommend changing the title for accuracy. At The Movies was there program from 1982-1986.
Hollywood tries 3-D every 25 years or so. It sucks every time.
19:38 - Gene's ditsy colloquialisms were sometimes unintentionally hilarious. "Nothing was coming off the screen to you. Because nothing was put *IN* to the screen!"
That's like a My Cousin Vinny moment. Let me axe ya a question, how d'ya get mud *IN* to the tires?
Geez, it's like how many intros we gotta have in the beginning.
I did NOT know they made an Amityville 3D...lmbo
Good god, just the clip of Stayin Alive is beyond terrible
10:18 "See, I'm not just any kid." well, that's true. I think that guy's probably at least 25 years old.
truth in advertising? amazing. simply amazing. it finally happened. 40 years ago.
can somone tell me if he reviewed smokey and the bandit 3, and give me the link thanks.
I believe it was their stinker of the week..(I think Gene)
Dennis Quaid said that he snorted about $20,000 worth of coke while making Jaws 3D. That might have something to do with its quality.
" An annuity in action"...lmbo
I was born a year after this segment but the ones I enjoyed from 1983 were Valley Girl, Return of the jedi, Octopussy, King of Comedy and at the of that year were Sudden Impact Scarface and Once Upon a time in America so basically yeah it was quite a shit year lol
2:40 Show begins
Thankfully both leah Thompson and meg Ryan went on to do bigger and better things (top gun, back to the future films and went harry met sally).
It's actually at the movies in 1983
ebert is literally wearing coke bottles
Jaws 2 is brodys film that's why it works
Oh, nan; I miss Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert so much.
Jaws 3D is a postmodern trash masterpiece.
Porky’s 2 is great!
10:20 that "kid" is a 45 year old man.
This was NOT Sneak Previews. It was Tribune!
That was At the Movies!
@@markelijio6012 The Tribune owned At the Movies.
That was a bad year
usually there's at east one film they do that actually wasn't that bad but... yeah these were all just terrible.
I HATED SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. GENE, THIS MOVIE HAD UNPLEASANT CHARACTERS.
I hate uncomfortable sounds. The first few seconds and every minute or so after that there's a horrible noise. Makes it impossible to enjoy the video.
Flashdance one of the worse of 83 say it aint so!!!!!!!!
Jesus fuckin' Christ with the editing of this video!
This is how the tv stations received the shows…warts and all 😂
1983 was not one of the best years for 80's music (that honor goes to 1980, 1985 and 1989)
Take the damn promos out
This was how the tv stations received the shows 😂
"These aren't funny people"
who are funny?
"Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Neil Simon"
"Siskel was born in Chicago, and was the son of Ida (née Kalis) and Nathan William Siskel.[5] His parents were Russian Jewish immigrants."
I'm sick of this ride
@@markelijio6012 Allen & Simon have NEVER been funny. Brooks was.
@@naturallawman2965 Mel Brooks was one of the world's funniest people.
Great News: Mel Brooks has received an 2024 Honorary Oscar.
@@naturallawman2965 Allen and Simon I can take in small doses.
Allen called them the Chicago morons.
Porky's sucked. And Porky's II???
Jaws 3-D, Amityville 3-D. The eighties were really the start of formula garbage put out by Hollywood. Movie after movie.
I agree that the eighties were a garbage period for movies. Putting style over substance. The nineties and the 00s weren't so bad.
@@bryanstewart1256 the 80s crush the 90s & 2000s.
