January 4, 1997--Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert each pick the ten best films of 1996. Several movies appear on both lists, while both critics agree on the number one film of the year: Fargo (1996).
(intro CLIP): Fargo...Everyone Says I Love You...The English Patient...What do these three films have in common? They've made either Roger's, or mine, or both of our Ten Best Films of the Year Lists, and we'll be revealing those lists on this Special Edition of SISKEL & EBERT, a show with a fistful of Thumbs Up - I'm Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune...
SISKEL
And I'm Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times...
EBERT
Ok, now Gene and I are both gonna give our full lists of the year's Best Films... (EBERT)
And now for my list of the top films of 1996... (SISKEL)
Well, all I have to say, Gene, is, when we disagree, one of us is wrong, but when we agree, both of us are right... (EBERT)
Excellent logic (laughs) (SISKEL)
Thanks! (EBERT)
