After reading through most of the various topics around here and seeing the names Ebert, Kael, Roper, etc., I was curious to see what the opinions are for various film critics. My list goes a little bit like this:
THE BEST OF ALL TIME:
Pauline Kael
Gene Siskel
Vincent Canby
the writers for SLATE
the writers for SALON
(the names of the individuals for the above pages escape me right now -it's late)
Gavin Smith
Armond White
J. Hoberman
Kent Jones
maybe Manohla Dargis
THE WORST OF ALL TIME:
Richard Roper (who found him?)
Rex Reed (need I say more?)
John Simon (when he was a film critic -he's a Nazi trust me)
Roger Ebert (sorry guys)
Armond White
J. Hoberman
Michael Medved( I liked the Golden Turkey Awards and that's it)
Leonard Maltin (tisk,tisk,tisk)
Dave Kehr (yawn)
Andrew Sarris (if you did a shot for every time he mentions himself in his reviews you'd be drunk after 2 sentences)
Gene Shalit (lie down old man)
Dixie Watley (anyone remember when she and Rex were on At the Movies?)
