Roger Ebert - The Great Movies

Add to my lists | Print this list

"Movie history did not begin in 1967, but my career as a movie critic did.

"Since then I’ve reviewed most of the new movies as they’ve opened, but there is almost never time to go back and write about the great movies of the past.

=) =)

"Now I want to change that—to a small degree, anyway. Readers often helpfully suggest, ‘Why don’t you go back and review all the great movies of the past?’ I sigh and explain that there are about 250 new releases every year for me to review, that time is at a premium, that man doth not live by looking at movies alone, etc. But they have a point.

"I’ve begun a new bi-weekly feature called ‘The Great Movies,’ in which I review a classic from years past."

Finished! (for the time being). Now I just have to see if I can keep pace with him.


Untitled — 37 weeks ago

I believe the Harold Llyod entry should be “Safety Last!” and not “From Hand to Mouth”


Wrong The Phantom of the Opera — 38 weeks ago

Wrong version.


Untitled — 50 weeks ago

If we’re being technical, Victor Fleming was the main director of “Gone with the Wind” although George Cukor had was considerably involved.


My Turn..... — 2 years ago

I just added Nosferatu, oddly enough I received an awesome copy of it remastered in 3D the other day. People should check it out… It’s really quite good.
