Came across this list on letterboxd this weekend. He did a top 10 list every year that he was a film critic.

Easier to find and read on his website which has some formatting issues for some years. If you expand you can click on each individual year.

Glad to see he had Minority Report number one in 2002 followed by City of God. :wow:

Also clicking through the years he really did love the 90s black films :obama:

This put some movies on my radar that I may have been too young at the time to be interested in.

Ebert had such a way with words. He really was the goat at this, I love looking back and reading some of his reviews on movies I want to check. I gotta take a look at these lists.

Another nice find, definitely plan on giving this a thorough once over.

Oh and a Minority Report fan? Taste is impeccable :blessed:

this random shot at the end of his El Dorado review at Pauline Kael made me chuckle:

A footnote: Pauline Kael, the New Republic's film critic, claims "El Dorado" has the second worst lighting she's seen in a movie. That's not bad lighting, that's good old Howard Hawks with all of his shadows and kerosene lamps and murky atmosphere and dark alleys (remember "The Big Sleep" (1946)?). Miss Kael needs her glasses scrubbed.
