Sneak Previews


I had always loved movies and was lucky enough to watch old classics on Channels 5 and 9 (The Million Dollar Movie) out of New York. I must have heard Tara's Theme a thousand times before I finally got to see Gone With the Wind on one of its returns to the big screen in the 70's.

I started watching Siskel and Ebert on Sneak Previews in the late 70's and later on At the Movies. They turned me on to a lot of great movies. I remember travelling to college campuses to see movies like Amarcord and She's Got to Have It. I looked forward to their weekly shows and I learned a lot. It's pretty sad that Gene is gone, but Roger is still with us. Let's enjoy him while we can.
