Is that really the music at the start?
Bob Hoskins..... What an actor.
the opening track did not have to go that hard.
And the Academy’s music branch hasn’t changed all that much many years later
Take My Breath Away by Berlin is good song.
Hannah and Her Sisters vs Platoon was an EPIC debate. I'm STILL not sure which movie overall was the best in 1986, leaning Platoon though
Hannah and Her Sisters imo the very best of the five
Yes. That was S and E each defending his point of view with passion and specificity. Both are strong films and highlight what Gene called the occasional silliness of such competitions. How do you choose?
That mumbling guy was great
Love Peggy Sue....
No More Pudding for me, Ma!
The rant about the Best Song nominees this year was legendary. I still think that "Danger Zone" and "Mighty Wings" from Top Gun deserved nominations.
Tom Berenger delivered the performance of a lifetime in Platoon. That scene where he goes into the bunker and intimidates the other soldiers is incredible.
Ebert's summation of Platoon is beautiful. He perfectly explains why that movie is so great. It's one of my favorite things he's ever done.
“Somewhere Out There” is an absolutely incredibly great song.
Funny thing about the songs: I liked them, like Glory of Love, for example. But I was a teen at the time so I liked songs from films that played on the radio.
Ebert correcting anyone's pronunciation of anything is hilarious
Thanks for uploading these! These specials bring back so many fond memories of when movies were worth seeing and talking about. 1986 was one of my favorite film years. "The Mission" was a total bore but deserved to win for Best Score. "Hannah" is one of my three or four favorite films of all-time. I was very young when I first saw "Platoon" and did not like it. I watched it again many years later and now agree it is a truly great film, but "Hannah" is still my favorite.
Round Midnight won Best Score.
@@sha11235 Yes, correct, but I meant I thought "The Mission's" score was more deserving.
Kathleen Turner is my favorite actress...She's great in everything she's in.
Thanks for posting these! Really takes me back. Really miss these guys and reminds me how much that frustrated me at times! Like Somewhere Out There and Glory of Love are such beautiful songs that totally fit those great movies! But I totally agree about The Mission, had a incredible cast but was so boring! Other personally opinions I have, love Michael Caine in many other years he deserved an Oscar but both of his he shouldn't of won! Like Roger said both Wiliem Defoe and Tom Berenger canceled each other out! Cain won by default not just cause of that, but of his history of being so good for so long and never getting one, also they made the argument that M.E.M should of been in the Lead Actress category, so should Cain, his was a lead too! Finally, one of the few times my favorite movie of the year won the Oscar for best picture Platoon! Sorry for rambling too much.
Great agreement in the best actress vote by both Siskel and Ebert for Kathleen Turner's ageless performance going from age 43 to 18 back and forth. Watch the list of nominees (imo all excellent, particularly Sissy Spacek's hilarious and wonderful performance in Crimes of The Heart) at 14.00 and why they both are amazed at Kathleen Turner's sublime performance 15.00 - 18.00
23:35 - I haven't seen "Round Midnight" in many years but I know the soundtrack well. It is worth noting that none of Herbie Hancock's compositions contain lyrics, which is one obvious reason the music branch didn't nominate any for Best Original Song. If a "song" doesn't contain lyrics, it's considered to be part of the score. The boys also don't seem to be aware that very little of the music heard in that movie is original composition. Hancock's arrangements are sublime, and I still insist that his score is the most richly textured and least bombastic of the nominees, but only three of the pieces on the soundtrack were written by him ("Bérangère's Nightmare, "Still Time" and "Chan's Song" co-authored with Stevie Wonder). The rest of Hancock's score conists of pre-existing jazz pieces. Yet here they are slamming the music branch for a sin of omission and it doesn't even seem like they know what they're talking about. That isn't especially surprising, as I always got the impression that S&E's knowledge of music was limited to opera, show tunes, and hit radio.
Yet I amuse myself imagining that Hancock won Best Original Score by a slim margin because a few handfuls of Academy voters watched this show and felt bad for Herbie not getting invited to their cocktail parties.
It just annoys me that they nominated the 3rd best song from Top Gun. "Danger Zone" and "Mighty Wings" were both better. Granted, "Take My Breath Away" is better, in my opinion, than any of the other nominees that year.

I haven’t seen the Mission since high school but I remember being incredibly bored by it. So Siskel agreed with me.
The Mission is an amazing film.
i remember specifically both stating julie andrews should have been nominated for one of her films but they probably cancelled each other out. that's life and duet for one. i certainly would have liked to hear the full broadcast
Michael Caine is one of the finest actors ever in movies.
My second favorite living actor, next to Ben Kingsley. I plan to have a Caine marathon one day and watch his entire filmography in sequence.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 He's in my top 19 for sure. Love him in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, A Shock To The System, Dressed to Kill, Blood and Wine, even The Hand.
The hand & Jaws the revenge his best work.
Wrong! That would be "The Swarm" where he fights bees or "On Deadly Ground" as the foil to one of cinema's towering Stanislavskian thespians.
@@drumtum Yes, he was robbed at Oscar time for those two performances.
Actually, that horrible Song " You Light up my Life " from the same movie won the Oscar that year instead of the Fantastic " The Spy Who Loved Me"
I didn't really like the Best Actor nominees for 1986. I definitely would have nominated Jean-Hughes Anglade for Betty Blue, would have to think about what other films came out in 1986.
My pick for BP and Director would be A Room With A View. Acting picks: James Woods, Kathleen Turner, Denholm Elliott, and Maggie Smith. I also really loved Hannah and Her Sisters but ARWAV is a personal all-time favorite.
Hey the song from That's Life was sang by Tony Bennett which gives it the cool factor which alone would get my vote!
Was Roger eating a orange In the thumb nail
I like his earring...
I thought he might have been imitating Marlon Brando in The Godfather - but that movie came out in 1972.
The French did the same thing in 1995 with French Twist over Les Miserables that they did here.
"Somewhere Out There" didn't deserve this. How can you not be a little moved by that? "Danger Zone" should have been nominated though. I always liked it more than Berlin's song
Right! Heck, Be a Dentist should have been nominated Little Shop, as it actually went with the story and advanced the plot in fleshing out the Dentist character.
is that Ernie Anderson narrating ?
Booooooo! The Mission is a great film! Deeply moving, intimate and epic at the same time. Gorgeously photographed and has the most beautiful score ever written for a film! RIP Ennio Morricone.
The Mission, yes phenomenal score, but horrible film. OBVIOUSLY trying to hard.
Why is he always eating an orange ? Maybe it’s good for the throat I am going to try next time I give a speech
Platoon hasnt aged well. Hannah just gotten better it seems. It's Allen at his very best.
"Hey how about a little action from the kids?". Nowadays it's cringey to hear that!
Wonder why 3 of the 5 songs nominated didn't play during this. Guess it's copyright shit.
Yes, I usually need to make edits when posting on here. The full video is on the S&E website.
Betty Blue is a superb movie - a rare idiotic review from Roger! Roger, Vagabond was from 1985, not 1986 and was NOT eligible! Geesh!
Vagabond's American release was in May 1986, so yes, it was eligible. That's why they each had it on their lists of the Best of '86.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 It was submitted for eligibility by France for 1985, not 1986.
@@freemangriffin4953 Interesting. What is your source for that? Everything I can find lists only 1 film per country each year. All other award groups in the U.S. marked it as a 1986 film, as it didn't play anywhere in the country the year before.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 Back then it was the year of release in FRANCE or whichever foreign country that mattered. "Entre Nous" was released in the U.S. in 1984 but was the Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Film for 1983. "The Last Metro" was released in the U.S. in 1981 but was the 1980 Best Foreign Film nominee for France. "Vagabond" got 1985 Cesar nominations, Sandrine Bonnaire won for Best Actress. IDK if this is still the case but it was the case back then.
Tom Berenger?! I was always amazed how this b-actor even had a big career, and he even won a Prime Time Emmy. He is on the level of Steven Seagal and Michael Dudikoff ffs. Maybe he had some relatives in Hollywood?
He was pretty great in platoon
