  I am not sure what you are talking about. He gave Goodfellas a four star review, and it was one of this top ten films of the 90's. Since your data was incorrect, does that now change the conclusion?

    James,

    Siskel (may he rest in peace) and Ebert got into a fight over "Goodfellas" and it wasn't Siskel who was against it. I'll take your word for it that Ebert "liked" it, but I recall him talking about why it wasn't Oscar worthy.

    I still don't agree with his picks for 2005 regardless.

    "Crash" wasn't all that good...and Kong? Pleezzzz...

      Ebert picked Goodfellas as the number 3 best film of the 1990's behind Hoop Dreams and Pulp Fiction. He loves Goodfellas.

        Dudes,

        I believe you.

        I still don't like Roger Ebert.

        His list for 2005 still wasn't very good.

          Well look over his runner ups -- he stated he could just as easily have made a top ten list from the films that didn't make his top ten list. Some years I feel that way where maybe one or two films truly stand out for me and the rest I could flip a coin as to which order I'd have them in.

          This is sorta what Ebert Implied. Ebert's lists usually are of interest and have some interesting pics -- though I have not seen a single film on his list this year -- no time. I bought Crash for $6.00 previously viewed but have not seen it yet. The Constant Gardner was very good and it made his runner up list so I expect good things from his top ten...but he usually has a few stink bombs on there - though I was happy with his pic some years ago of Monster's Ball which was off the beaten track and easily the best film I saw that year.

  While not everybody's cup of tea "Crash" surely is one of the most different and original films of the year.
