Perhaps the most respected movie critic of all time, Roger Ebert is a key figure in cinema history. His widely read reviews were poignant but could be divisive, oftentimes his opinion was the one that could decide the fate of a movie. In the days before the internet, audiences looked to the newspapers for his take on the latest films.
From 1967 until his death in 2013, Ebert wrote for The Chicago Sun-Times and became the first critic to receive a Pulitzer Prize for his film criticism. Ebert's opinion matters now as much as it did then, and any dedicated cinephile would add his top ten to their watchlist.
