Siskel & Ebert: If We Picked The Winners (March 24, 1990)

- Siskel & Ebert's Oscar Special. Shot live-to-tape in front of a live audience March 1, 1990 in the Theatre of the Stars at the Disney/MGM Studios, FL. It aired March 24, 1990, two days before the 62nd Annual Academy Awards. In this show, Gene and Roger don't predict the winners, but rather give their opinions on who SHOULD win if they had anything to say about it. Some classic Siskel & Ebert sparring here. I was at this taping. My friend and I sat in the front row holding up a "Do The Right Thing" poster. They did a bit before each commercial break called "If The Audience Picked The Winners". I'm in a couple of those. I say "Jessica Tandy. Jessica Tandy." and "Field of Dreams.". It was a fun night. I met Roger and Gene afterwards. I got a picture with them both and Roger signed his latest book for me.
Transferred from my original VHS tape, which unfortunately ran out and I missed the last two minutes of the telecast. - Фільми й анімація
Can we bring Siskel and Ebert back to life? I’d rather watch this every year than the Academy Awards.
You can't bring them back to life. We don't have the technology yet.
@Mourning Star Tell me more. I want to hear all about this... _technology_ ...
@Mourning Star Ohhhhh, you mean nuke them. Like, murder everyone. Like, commit murder. But how would you do it? Just nuke the city of Hollywood? What about all the innocent people that have nothing to do with show biz? Collateral damage? And what about all the Hollywood types who don't live in Hollywood? I'm starting to think you didn't exactly think this thing through...
Along with MST3K's Robot Academy Choice Awards Special.
If only we could deep fake them, but then someone would have to mimic their cleverness and wit... good luck with that...
I wish modern movie critics would do something like this. I love how siskel and ebert constantly called out the academy for their crap.
When Critics were lovers of Movies as an Art Form and Approached it as such .... Instead of being Access Media Hacks.
Evert looks better without his jaw. He wrote failed porn such as Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Here you find the Valley of the Dorks
Because all that matters is the money and the least amount of creative effort making more money.
It was always that way even back then , but now the greed Is far worse , everything Is even more rigged
and audiences are more dumbed down than ever.
@@fawkkyutuu8851 Don't forget the porn. There's a lot more porn now.
@@Dottiecurran Are you really making light of someone whose body was decimated by thyroid cancer? Harsh. I’ll just assume that you are young and you’ll have time to grow a heart or at least some better judgment.
Can someone take me back to a time where a large audience would go out at night and watch two film critics talk about movies
If Elvira did it today, it might still work.
these were CELEBRITIES, though, in their own right.
very few people would show out for two random film critics, i'd have to think. then or now.
@@jedijones But you have changed your attitude as well as your wardrobe.
❤t
ah yes, you too huh? We have sure degraded but the internet made critics of us all--hah
Thanks for including the very original “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” ad. I mean that sincerely. Including that after cutting all the other ads was perfect.
👆
I always think of that Roseanne episode when she pulls her back out and is calling for help and says, "I should never have laughed at that old lady"
Lmao
'member joel siegel and gene shallit?
So alien to watch this today, especially in front of a live audience. There would be so many applause breaks, or "time for me to mug for the camera" breaks. I miss this format
I know you: you're that drunk guy that reviews SNES games!
Dude what are you doing here? I swear we all have the same tastes. I see Daniel ibertson everywhere too.
Weird...I go to your channel quite a bit. Funny seeing you here.
Glad they both were all in for Aeilo! Disappointed they put Cruise above Freeman and Day-Lewis.
So do I
I can watch these 2 guys review movies and actors all day. They don't have critics of this caliber anymore.
Fernicus Maximus Right? Nowadays we have Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann.
Blechh.
Only RLM left.
I like Jeremy jahns but he's no Gene Siskel or Rodger Ebert. I miss the serious criticism of these educated men.
And somehow we're still stuck with Rex Reed who hates 99% of everything he sees while the handful of things he likes are seemingly picked at random.
Yes, technically you CAN watch them review movies all day, but I think you would feel pretty crummy about how you spent your entire day.
love or hate them or even agree or disagree with their critiques, these guys were two of the best film critics we've ever had. They've helped me learn how to critique in art and literature class. Really miss them.
wow....i just found this video...and you are so right. whether you agree or disagree with them, they taught...yes they were teachers....they taught us how to really look at movies.
Love 'em.
@@christianhafer9819 I can't imagine. There is a life outside of what some blob thought of Hollywood garbage
@@babsyboone4482 Can't imagine what?
Hey can't imagine why this is important to anyone I think is what he meant. I like watching critics too, but I kind of agree with him in the sense that movies aren't important to the grand scheme of things. Sure, we like watching them. However, it's just expression and consumer indulgence. If film never existed we would probably be better off to some degree. They should make a movie about that!
Yes I’m a 21 year old uni student that watches siskel and ebert at night
When ebert makes a joke, he glances at siskel. He only cares if sikel found it funny haha
At this point in their careers, they had become friends. Perhaps only work friends but still friends. Less than 9 years later, Gene was gone.
Awe :D
Siskel hated Ebert but what does it matter? I have the balls to make up my own mind which movie is good
I thought Ebert was the joke. After all, aside from the way he looked, he wrote trash screenplays that degrade women
Ebert was an ugly monster in body and soul. I don't know who would take his movie recs seriously some people live in nowhere and need advice even on which movie to see
I loved how they have heated debates in front of people. lol
Yawn. Ebert fanboys are the losers
@@babsyboone4482 Then why are you watching siskel and ebert shows you fucking moronic idiot.
Fuck off and watch something else.
@@babsyboone4482 Did you just click on this video to say that? That's kind of pathetic, man.
Yawn, Ebeast is dead "man". I'm here to laugh at you
@@babsyboone4482 Did you do that whole "Yawn" bit twice in a row?
“Under the sea I think is a song that people will remember for a very long time” these two constantly predicted things to come and even if you didn’t like their opinions they respected and knew so much about the art of film.
I see you changed your action hero pic to one of an ugly little boy. How fitting that you love Ebert
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. Classic.
Whatever fills your lonely nights
Pure genius!
@daveybaby131 Sigh. You had to be there to understand.
43:00- “I’ve fallen.... and I CANT GET UP!” Classic commercial...
After seein Ebert, commercials are exciting
45:11 Little did they know that not even two years later an animated film would be nominated for Best Picture... Beauty and the Beast
I was thinking the same thing. LOL!
I agree with Siskel when he says "we're voting for the performance". Ebert often voted taking into consideration the quality of the movie, character and script. Siskel seemed to always vote for the actual performance in the acting categories. It's an acting category, not a role category.
Yes. And Siskel was right to base his assessments on the actual performance. Another reason why I often sided with him, over Ebert.
daniel day lewis in my left foot crushed all competition...
Cruise was robbed
So sad that they didn't have even more years together. They still wouldn't even be all that relatively old if they were alive today, in their 70s, and probably still relevant. Imagine what together they would've made of social media, Obama, Trump, what Siskel would've made of 9/11 and the "War on Terror", how they could've really cultivated a new generation of film criticism. They still had an indelible impact, it's just hard not to want more.
redlettermedia is like thier spiritual bickering continued
Please! Giving opinions of other people's work isn't a job
@@babsyboone4482 Seems like it would take a lot of research and work to me.
@@aurorauplinks RLM are terrible. They're more like that skit Mike Myers and Ben Stiller did on SNL where they constantly change their opinion to agree with the other guy more.
"How come Kathleen Turner was not--"
Wait, I wanted to know!
So Jin Choi nominated??
shot?
So Jin Choi has to be “nominated” but we may never know 😞
Its ugly its fat its bullshit and its Ebert. And his or her look alike fans
“Nominated for The War of the Roses?”
I wonder what happened to the dude who really wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to win whatever she wants
Omg I’m glad someone else caught that. It was too spicy!!!
He was funny! “Whatever Michelle wants, Michelle gets.” She should’ve left Fisher Stevens for that Joe Shmoe, who’d do ANYTHING for her.
Since 1975, Michelle Pfeiffer has made an name for herself as one of Hollywood's greatest actresses/
producers. After earning three Oscar nominations, it was time for Michelle Pfeiffer to move fast forward. Since 1993, she was married to Emmy winning writer/producer David E. Kelley and have two
great children. Their indie production company was based at Lionsgate in Santa Monica, California.
Boy how Roger loved to attack Gene when he didn't agree with him... but always did so without insulting put downs. Quite an art.
How I miss these guys
Gossip about the WORK others did doesn't appeal to real men
I agree with everything you are saying. All your comments make me laugh cuz they are kind of true. But, complaining about critics who complain about movies is kind of hypocritical. I agree though. When the world is ending let's see how many of us can fix things, grow a carrot and shoot a gun. In other words, the resourcful people will survive and the movie critics will be totally fucked.
They had to cut the bitchy comments out .. apparently
@@666gorewhore Unless they were resourceful film critics.
And the winner for BEST COMMERCIAL goes to... 42:31!
Really heartwarming to see these guys again.
Not sure either was the best ever. But they were the best ever at doing it together. Consistently entertaining, more so than most of the movies they'd discuss on their weekly show.
It's reckoned Pauline Kael was the best ever
@@fergalhughes165 Kael is probably the better critic on an academic level, but the impact that Siskel and Ebert had on bringing higher brow criticism to the masses was highly influential in their own way. Kael was also a tad too dismissive of genre films, whereas Ebert especially was more willing to go out of his way to seriously embrace their potential. All of these critics have their place and their impact on film criticism overall.
Siskel & Ebert were so good.
Roger Ebert really called it, when he said Driving Ms. Daisy and Field Of Dreams would stand the test of time, thirty years from now. Gene disagreed and said The War Of The Roses would be more discussed thirty years from now. I'm not saying it's not a good movie, but I've heard more talk of Driving Ms. Daisy and Field Of Dreams (which I saw for the first time last year, when they re-released it into theaters. I don't really ever hear anyone talk about The War Of The Roses.
It really made up for Ebert crapping on Dead Poet's Society. I respect his opinion, regardless.
I agree.
Word Unheard He was so wrong on Dead Poets Society, that’s such a good movie with great acting, really touching and emotional scenes, and also memorable dialogue. It’s a classic that stood the test of time, sorry Ebert, but that was one of the times where you missed the mark.
I love Ebert, but DPS was a flawed masterpiece
I don't hear much about Driving Miss Daisy, but Field of Dreams comes up sometimes in discussion of great baseball films.
I can see Ebert’s point on Dead Poets Society. Sure it may not have been an original idea even for 1989 but Williams performance the dialogue and the kids performances all made up for that enough that I think it should have won Best Picture.
Oh boy. How i miss them
Remember when Critics were lovers of Movies as an Art Form and Approached it as such? .... Instead of being Access Media Hacks?
The lady at the end asked why Kathleen Turner wasn't nominated for Best Actress in The War Of The Roses.
Gene: "Here's an idea. Most of the members of the Academy are men. And maybe a woman who's going to be that tough in a divorce scares them. And I mean that."
I recorded this particular show and watched it over and over when I was a kid, until I had some parts completely memorized. What a sad and pathetic childhood I had. 😁
Thanks. I wanted to know their answer to that question.
Best comment in this section. And how funny! 😄
I died laughing at how it abruptly ended in the middle of her question cuz i was not expecting it at all 😂😂
The uploader was a man and cut the feed.
This is totally confusing. Now Kathleen Turner has been in the industry since 1978. She's got her only
Oscar nomination for best actress in "Peggy Sue Got Married" for Columbia (now Sony) in 1987. The
rest is history.😁
Siskel and Ebert witnessed the change of artistic Hollywood movies into the franchise focused, toy-selling, universe/sequel building films that we see today. They are rolling over in their graves over these marvel movies without a doubt.
It’s so interesting to see (and now recall) how in 1989/1990 they were still such character-driven movies.
I just have to comment on the "LifeCall" ad. The creators of that ad deserve some kind of Razzie award for turning deathly serious emergencies in one of the funniest ads of all time. Bravo!
Yeah; Actress was an easy call.
I don’t think Pfeiffer is that good here.
Didn't know they did a live show. Thanks for putting this up!
Regardless of the issue with Driving Miss Daisy as Best Picture, no-one can dispute that Mrs. Tandy gave an absolutely Outstanding Performance and most deserving. I think a lot of people ,who criticize the win, compare the MOVIE to Do the Right Thing, but that should not take away from not only Jessica Tandy's beautiful performance, but also Morgan Freeman as well
@Mourning Star there's the little anonymous keyboard warrior
@Mourning Star Mourning Star, if that is your real name ...
Driving Miss Daisy and Jessica Tandy winning the Oscar in their categories are of the most egregious picks in any year of the Oscars.
The first half of "Born on the Fourth of July" is one of the most perfect things I have ever seen. Second half is a little less effective but wow, what a movie. Cruise is first rate.
Elaine Snow Siskel was spot on about Tom's performance carrying the movie too. I also think the score by John Williams is really powerful.
Samuel J. Thanks Samuel. You are right about the score. It is great!
I'd seen that movie in full when it was new and bits and pieces of it on TV many times while channel surfing as we all do over the course of many years, but I saw the Massapequa scenes up to the Moon River prom scene for the first time since I was an adult and they were almost tearful fer God's sake. I got misty by a combination of the score and idyllic-ness of the youth that I'm sure many lads had before going to Nam. I remember it occurring to me towards the JFK scene that this was a fantastic "childhood tale" segment. It does service to the film even before Cruise appears in character. I was so impressed that I watched the full thing again the next time it came on. Powerful movie. Yes, the 2nd half isn't as good as the 1st, but I still like it. Then again, people say the same about Full Metal Jacket and I agree with them, too, but I still like the 2nd half of that.
Elaine Snow,
Agreed- reminded me of Full Metal Jacket.
-'Born On The Fourth of July', 'Dead Poets Society' and 'Glory' IN THE same year, the SAME category?! Pick one and you're a Liberal, pick another and you're a fucking 'boring academic' and pick one and you're a (future) SJW!?
EACH very fucking good movies!
Cruise's Kovic feels totally sold out by his own party and turns- possibly... WHO wouldn't?! I'd just vote for a different GOP POTUS.
William's teacher character WORKED so beautifully- his character reaches out and compels students to easily 'get' the true epicness of poetry!
...'Glory' shows just how hard 'n-words' worked for the Union. You just wanna hand them beers or at least an ear to hear their long past souls tell you of their lived lives.
1990 HAD epic movies! :.D
He really nailed it with the Field of Dreams prediction
This brought me back to when I was a kid. Thank you!
"I was able to summon my next door neighbor" who assisted me by peering helplessly through my front door. 42:36. And it's hard to say who's more hilarious, the "I've fallen and I can't get up" lady or the lady in the Clapper commercial who turns her light off from her bed.
Rupert Pupkin "I'm having... CHEST, PAINS!"
They are cousins. 🤔
An ambulance, my next door neighbour, my family and my doctor.
Rupert Pupkin Mrs. Fletcher aka the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up lady” by a landslide.
Glad you found something important to fill your time
30 years later, it was The Little Mermaid that was best remembered.
No shit LOL2🤣
Do the Right Thing, Glory, My Left Foot, Dead Poet’s Society, and Field of Dreams are all considered classics today. Driving Miss Daisy, maybe not so much
Picking Little Mermaid for best original song was great.
Field of Dreams is timeless.
I agree. Best film for me.
Man, what happened to the world? I miss these guys and this era so much. I don't think it's just nostalgia either. It really was a better time in America. Before social media and modern day PC culture.
This is just too classy for the modern world. The movies and music was great in the 80s and 90s too.
43:00 You're Welcome.
Back then you could fill an audience with people wanting to hear Oscar picks.
Now you can barely get 30 seconds a week of someone on TV talking about movies.
Out of what was nominated - My Left Foot for BP, Woody Allen for Director, Daniel Day-Lewis, Isabelle Adjani, Martin Landau and Brenda Fricker for the acting categories. But I think Crimes & Misdemeanors should have won BP.
The Rambo jab was priceless
Back when the Oscars aired in March. And on a Monday. Back before awards shows were more about audience size than movies. Oh, to go back!
thank you for this upload, and yes always vote jessica tandy.
Remember when Critics were lovers of Movies as an Art Form and Approached it as such? .... Instead of being Access Media Hacks?
We have Red Letter Media at least right?
That MGM Studios Theme Park looked amazing!
The little girl only had to wait 2 years before Beauty and the Beast became the first animated film to be nominated for best picture.
I thought the addition of Best Animated Feature all but killed any hopes of another animated film getting a big nod, but then The Dark Knight forced the Academy to expand the nominees, and a few have slipped in since then.
Funnily enough the animated feature category was added the year Shrek came out because that film was enormously successful within Hollywood for its sharp satire of Disney cartoons. The academy were worried that if it was nominated for best picture it had a good chance of winning, and as S+E said in this show, the Academy thinks of animated features as just kid's stuff.
i miss Roger Ebert
It’s amazing how spot on Roger was on Field of Dreams and so wrong on Dead Poets Society. But I love how they constantly brought up Do the Right Thing, that movie is the best and most important movie of 1989 and the academy being too scared to acknowledge outside of Danny Aiello proves how off base the academy’s thoughts on race and the human experience truly were.
I'm sorry but I agree with him on Dead Poet's Society
I wonder how much say the boys had on the intro, its cool to think they directed it, they would've had so much fun.
44:01 - It is 28 years since this was aired. I think that Ebert is right.
"🎵Darling it's better down where it's wetter, take it from me 🎵" ;) ;)
Crimes and Misdemeanors was Woody Allen's best film in my view.
Agreed.
No doubt.
Simply the best.
If the Academy had done 10 best picture nominees in 1989, I'd add the following films...
Do the Right Thing (best movie of the year by far)
Glory
Batman
The Little Mermaid
Say Anything....,
Honorable Mentions: Sex Lies, and Videotape, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Lean on Me, When Harry Met Sally, Parenthood, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Steel Magnolias
Driving Miss Daisy won the Oscar, for those wondering
Well, Roger got the first question right, and Gene got it wrong.
That 'medical response remote control' advert is fantastic
Oops. Gene thought "The War of the Roses" would be more remembered in 30 years than "Driving Miss Daisy." That one didn't turn out so well.
War of the Roses is the better movie though
Mourning Star idk about that...
War of the Roses is one of the Best Movies about Marriage.. disintegrating
It feels like War of the Roses is a little unfairly forgotten though.
That opening! Gold.
I like it, too.
I've fallen and I can't get up! ... classic!
I love how in-character Roger is at 0:20.
Ebert was spot-on about Field of Dreams during the question/answer section at the end.
Roger was right about field of dreams
Yes, he was. Great film, an enduring one, at that.
"Hey Dad? Wanna have a catch?"
i love these guys
Loved 'Dead Poets Society' when it came out, and have enjoyed watching it now and again over the years. Great film.
Maserbeams Yeah, but Roger hated it. That film is still regarded as a classic today. It’s one of my favorite Robin Williams movies, along with Good Will Hunting and Aladdin.
Ebert nails it at 44:08 with his Field of Dreams prediction. That will always be in my Top 10!
I'm surprised Do The Right Thing or Glory weren't nominated for Best Picture
6 Man Entertainment As am I, but at the end of the day, Glory did pretty well for itself.
Do the Right Thing, on the other hands, easily one of the biggest snubs of all time.
@@Decetop Driving Miss Daisy won and that movie nowhere near as celebrated as the other 2 films are today. That just goes to show how irrelevant The Oscars are. Ordinary People won over Raging Bull and who even remembers Ordinary People? Meanwhile, Raging Bull is a landmark film.
@@KBplay Exactly. It still pisses me off that Raging Bull didn't win, and Scorsese lost to Redford. F me!
1091 ENT Raging Bull is better and the more iconic film, but Ordinary People is still great
Glory was God's work.
Gene clearly lost that argument regarding Best Actress
What an enjoyable watch... much better than todays oscars by far
They really had a tense relationship. i miss them; the movies are not the same without those two.
I'm usually on Ebert's side, but Michelle Pfeiffer absolutely should've won Best Actress over Tandy. Thank you for uploading this!
I hate to sound like an asshole, but I would have voted for Kenneth Branagh as Best Actor. I'm glad Day-Lewis won, but still.
Rupert Pupkin Daniel Day-Lewis is so beloved, it seems absurd to think anybody surpassed him.
+link biff love DDL but Joaquin Phoenix deserved the Oscar over him for one of the best performances of all time in "The Master."
If you’re talking about Henry V I agree, that was a stunning performance in a stunning film. He should’ve been nominated for Best Director too.
Wrighthouse Productions He was.
@Mourning Star hey there, little anonymous person
Tom Cruise in Born on the 4th of July is one of my favorite performances ever!
Do The Right Thing is a masterpiece. What I loved about the movie is Sal had two sons who truly loved their father, a flawed father. His son’s were a mixture of his character. Excellent writing and direction. That’s a difficult character to portray and Danny Aiello mastered it. I’m black and Sal was my favorite portrayal in this movie.
Diane Weist won for Woody Allen pics: Hannah and her sisters & Bullets over broadway.
Yup.
great song choices. i totally predicted the right song. under da sea; down here it's wetter; and it's much better, take it from me! -it actually culminates towards the end to be a bad ass song that gives u the chills a bit because the polish of professional greatness in it's complexity along with the rhythm and harmonies comes through.
editorial addition: i love their banter
29:56 Speaking of Best Original Score, I still say that Batman not getting a nomination for Danny Elfman's score that year was one of the worst snubs in Oscar history.
I miss them together. RIP Roger!!
Ebert got it right more than Siskel.
Choice breakdown:
BEST ACTOR
Gene's choice - Tom Cruise in "Born on the Fourth of July"

Gene's choice - "Born on the Fourth of July"
Roger's choice - "My Left Foot"
WORST NOMINATION
Gene's choice - "Harlem Nights" for Best Costume Design
Roger's choice - "Dead Poets Society" for Best Picture
Ebert accedently said "riding miss Daisy"
I've fallen ..... and I can't get up!
Miss these guys.
Never saw these Oscar shows when they aired. Bummed I missed them.
Can't believe that Glory was not nominated for best picture.
I think S&E were most upset by the “Do the Right Thing” snub. Both of them would’ve picked it to WIN for the year, but the Academy didn’t even nominate it.
Glory wasn’t even nominated for Best Score.
@@oldDNU To make matters either better or worse, historians Nick Redman, Jon Burlingame
and Lem Dobbs along with Camille Fielding, Julie Kirgo, Marilee Burlingame, Garner Simmons,
Paul Seydor and David Weddle as well as Julie Newmar were very happy to listen to James Horner's Grammy Award
winning instrumental score for Edward Zwick's Academy Award winning epic drama
with memorable performances all around.
I've never heard anyone knock Dead Poet's Society before. It almost felt like blasphemy to hear him mention it. But, I do admit that he defended his argument well. Had he been a great poetry teacher, his students would have learned to adore poetry. By the end of the movie, no one was thinking about poetry at all. Interesting.
How bout the dead Ebert society? Lol
same, they forced us to watch it in high school. Looking back, it was all about Robin Williams and not about poetry at all.
Jon's D&D Vlog Yeah, it’s one of the beloved classics that Roger took a shit on. I think that movie still holds up today.
@@HugoSoup57 It's a good movie. I love it. But, he's right. A great English teacher would inspire his students to love English. In the movie, the entire curriculum of the class was hijacked for instead getting kids to reject authority.
Dottiecurran Wtf
And the Special Academy Award for comb-overs goes to... Gene Siskel!
The whole reason Rotan was fated to record this show was to capture the I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up commercial for all eternity.
I love Siskel's pick for Best Actress! Michelle Pfeifer was excellent in "The Fabulous Baker Boys", an underrated performance if I ever saw one...
Who/what actually won: Daniel Day-Lewis (Actor); Jessica Tandy (Actress); Denzel Washington (Supporting Actor); Brenda Fricker (Supporting Actress); Under the Sea (Song); Driving Miss Daisy (Picture)
Spot on prediction from Roger Ebert about "Field of Dreams" being the film that stood the test of time over any other movie that year.
Has it - I don't ever hear any-one mentioning that movie aside from a movie that made grown men shed a tear when they saw it - aside from that - Umm No
born on the fourth of july was better
@@meddle903 agreed
For its corniness, yeah.
gotta luv for that old American passtime
The critic has critics. Deal with it
They can't. This mutant talked about movies and all they have is the escape from their sad reality that movies give them.
Old shows and even TV ads seems awesome to these losers. New perhaps when they live outside America
All these years later, the standouts are "Do The Right Thing" and "The Little Mermaid".
@Tammy T How is it racist?
@Tammy T A movie is not racist just because it explores the theme of racism in America. If anything, it gives the audience an opportunity to learn about the poisonous effects of racism. I think Do the Right Thing is some of Spike Lee's best work.
Tammy T missed the point of the movie. What she found reveals much about herself. (Never mind the ludicrousness of the idea that Lee is racist.)
Cock off is a good name. Cock less is better for the boys here
@@the503creepout7 It took years later that Spike Lee took home 2 Oscars,
including an honorary award for his contributions as an artist and
filmmaker.
It's strange how some movies that are considered great at the time get forgotten and others are still talked about decades later. People really went apeshit over Dances With Wolves but I haven't heard anyone even mention that movie in the past 20 years.But Goodfellas is still talked about and referenced constantly. Are people gonna remember Slumdog Millionaire in ten years? People certainly will not forget The Dark Knight.
Good point. Remember when Crash won over Brokeback Mountain? Luckily, it was almost immediately forgotten.
Shawshank Redemption didn’t win Best Picture in its year (was it even NOMINATED?), and yet many people consider it one of the most memorable and all-around greatest pictures ever.
The What Knight?
@@ty22guy Whatback Mountain?
@@jedijones Dark
Driving Miss Daisy and Jessica Tandy winning the Oscar in their categories are of the most egregious picks in any year of the Oscars... until Crash came along
Jessica Tandy totally Deserved the Oscar
Roger was sort of right about field of dreams, 32 years later MLB would stage a regular season game on a real "field of dreams" built in an iowa cornfield in tribute to the movie.
20:16: Roger fighting the urge to punch Gene
This video is cut off at the end. When the audience member asked why Kathleen Turner wasn't nominated, Gene would answer jokingly that the Academy members were probably scared of a woman that tough in a divorce. I saw this show when it first aired.
Yes, as I mentioned in the video’s description, the recording cut off at the end. My VHS tape ran out.
@@RotanCam Yes I know you did. But I just wanted to mention what the missing bits were in case you or anyone else didn't know.
When you have movies like Tom Cruise in them, you can't lose!
Born on the Fourth of July was so depressing and Powerful
Born on the Fourth of July was so powerful and radiant because Oliver Stone hit the big time once again and of course, when the film was released in 1989 by Universal Pictures, I was very happy
to see Tom Cruise's first Oscar nomination in 1990 that did changed his life as one of Hollywood's
greatest actors/producers. The film won two Academy Awards for best director and best editing
in 1990. And earning several more nominations including best picture, best actor, best adapted
screenplay, best original score, best cinematography and best sound mixing. More than any other
film in the history of NBC Universal.
