These ten best lists for movie critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert have been collected from various postings in the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies. The lists through 1978 come from the Chicago Tribune for Siskel, and the Chicago Sun-Times for Ebert. After that most of the lists come from their best of the year TV show.

At one time or another, 'Casino Royale' undoubtedly had a shooting schedule, a script and a plot. If any one of the three ever turns up, it might be the making of a good movie. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism. Roger Ebert was a legend of film criticism, penning reviews for the Chicago Sun Times for 46 years. He's arguably America's most famous reviewer and made his profession into an art form. He lived the majority of his life in Illinois, attending University of Illinois as an early-entrance student, and later University of Chicago. Casino Royale US theatrical poster. The 'chaotic' nature of the production was featured heavily in contemporary reviews, while later reviewers have sometimes been kinder towards this. Roger Ebert said 'This is possibly the most indulgent film ever made,' and Variety said 'it lacked discipline and cohesion.'
