Siskel and Ebert were a film reviewer duo made up of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, with the partnership being active throughout the 1980s and 1990s, largely thanks to their show, At the Movies. It ran under that name between 1982 and 1986, and was then called Siskel & Ebert & the Movies from 1986 until 1999, when Siskel passed away.
9 'Mission: Impossible' Director: Brian De Palma Mission: Impossible rebooted the TV series of the same name on the big screen in 1996, though if you compare it to the sequels that followed, the original doesn’t feel quite as action-packed. Perhaps it’s more of an espionage/thriller movie overall, befitting the original series, though it was the only film in the series Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were able to review, owing to the former’s passing in 1999.
7 'The Last of the Mohicans' Director: Michael Mann Roger Ebert enjoyed The Last of the Mohicans, for the most part, with his rating of three out of four stars ensuring it got a thumbs up on his end. Gene Siskel was right with him, rating-wise, also giving it three out of four stars and saying that it was a little messy, but nevertheless had some compelling characters and ended up succeeding as an epic film.
La Femme Nikita RActionThriller Release Date February 21, 1990 Director Luc Besson Cast Anne Parillaud , Jean-Hugues Anglade , Tchéky Karyo , Jeanne Moreau , Jean Bouise , Jean Reno , Philippe Leroy Runtime 117 Rent on Amazon Given its Best Picture win, Siskel and Ebert were far from the only fans of the movie, with Siskel praising the huge battle scenes and Ebert giving it a rating of 3.5/4, saying that it was “an ambitious film, big on simple emotions like love, patriotism and treachery.” He’s on the money in terms of Braveheart being broad, but it’s broad in a way that works and largely excites, even if it’s not the most historically accurate thing in the world, by any means.
