THE BEST FLICKS OF 1998
Now that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert have managed to botched up the
top ten films of 1998. Where were they looking when Siskel picked
“Babe: Pig In The City” as the number one and Ebert also included it on
his ten best list. The salaries of these two combined, should make
them more responsible to their audience. If it had been a lean year
I could understand it but, in a year that provided a bounty of excellent
movies, it makes you wonder. Here’s the breakdown of choices:
