TL;DR
Ebert’s Top 10 (in descending order): JFK, Malcolm X, Leaving Las Vegas, Breaking the Waves, Schindler’s List, Red/White/Blue Trilogy, Fargo, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Hoop Dreams
Scorsese’s Top 10 (in descending order): Malcolm X/Heat (tie), Fargo, Crash (the Cronenberg movie), Bottle Rocket, Breaking the Waves, Bad Lieutenant, Eyes Wide Shut, (Video cut off his #3), The Thin Red Line, The Horse Thief
I love how Scorsese and Ebert both have Fargo in their top ten.
this was a lovely time capsule
totally unexpected pick for #1 by Ebert, I should watch Hoop Dreams again
Crash was highly erotic and strange.
I love JFK, such a compelling conspiricy case, I’m 100% in when I watch it even if I don’t actually believe it.
For those who have never seen Hoop Dreams, i recommend watching it ASAP. And don't be put off by the run time or the subject matter, it's a beautiful story that speaks to anyone, about life, expectations and the pursuit of your dreams.
I remember watching this when it originally aired.
Really appreciated how Scorsese was a bit ahead of his time ranking Eyes Wide Shut and The Thin Red Line among the best films of the decade. Today it would seem insane not to include them. Scorsese gets it.
EDIT: Rewatching this, it's surprising to hear Ebert claim that he loved The Thin Red Line, because he only gave is three stars out of four when it was new. Is he just kissing Scorsese's ass, or did he change his mind about the film? He did give Malick's next two films, The New World and The Tree of Life, four-star reviews, and named the latter film one of the ten best films of all time in his 2012 Sight & Sound ballot. I wonder, would he have given The Thin Red Line four stars if had reviewed it a few years later? Did he still think Saving Private Ryan was the better film?
Eyes Wide Shut, Pulp fiction, Goodfellas, The Thin Red Line and Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy are all great or inarguably great films.
I watched breaking the waves after watching this video afew months ago. I don't get what lars was trying to say with that movie.
