- Ebert: In a class by itself. Siskel: #1 movie of 1985, and #2 movie of the decade. Claude Lanzmann’s 9-1/2 hour documentary on the Holocaust was made when many participants and survivors in that horrific chapter of history were still alive, but in a time before the internet or phone cameras.
- Ebert: #1 movie of 1987 and #10 movie of the decade. Siskel: #3 movie of 1987. Playwright and screenwriter David Mamet made his directorial debut with one of the original “twisty” thrillers, a tale of con men in which the cons unfold inside of other cons.
- Ebert: #3 movie of 1986. Siskel: #1 movie of 1986. Woody Allen was on a roll when he made this great New York comedy-drama about a handful of characters connected to three sisters, cooking up with so many great characters, performances, situations, and dialogue.
- Ebert: #1 movie of 1985. Siskel: #3 movie of 1985. It’s hard to imagine a time when Steven Spielberg was struggling to be taken seriously. But if you’d made some of the top box office attractions, rollercoaster-like rides and movies for younger viewers, then you’d find it hard to be considered a “grownup” filmmaker as well.
