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."
