50 Movies that Roger Ebert hated

I sat next to him on a flight from LGA to ORD once. He was picked up at the airport by a wife who was more attractive than you would expect.
I remember noticing he had no bags. I get to my hotel and turn on letterman and he and siskel were guests. He was wearing the same clothes as on the plane, which I noticed on the TV were a bit wrinkled. Then I realized he must have flown in for the show, taped it, and flown home.

The Ghost and the Darkness isn't bad at all...
It actually is. (I saw it again years ago.) It shouldn't have been, but it was.

I didn't view the whole collection. These remarks of Ebert's seemed like a good place to stop:
About The Village: "It’s a crummy secret . . . It’s so witless, in fact, that when we do discover the secret, we want to rewind the film so we don’t know the secret anymore. And then keep on rewinding, and rewinding, until we’re back at the beginning, and can get up from our seats and walk backward out of the theater and go down the up escalator and watch the money spring from the cash register into our pockets.”

Yeah, but you're a connysewer.

Nah, not really. I don't go in for the Masterpiece Theater stuff every time and I know damn well not every movie has that in mind. My thing is, what was the point of the movie and did they achieve what they set out to do, or fall short?
