Siskel & Ebert Review The Films of… Oliver Stone
I apologize to those who watched my previous upload of this episode, it wasn’t entirely done and I jumped the gun in posting it
And then I had some copyright stuff to get around
Here is the complete episode, and I did my best to make it in a way that means I’ll never have to redo it again, as far as I can tell
Since Stone was an Oscar-winning screenwriter before he was an established director, I’ve included everything he’s at least co-written here as well
Primarily for educational purposes, but enjoy however you see fit!

I have to say that I LOVE some of the greatest films by Oliver Stone like, "JFK," "Born on the Fourth of July," "Platoon," "Wall Street" and "Salvador." They made me think about the world in a more clear way and I remain very impressed with Stone's vision in his films as well. 😄👍
The first half hour or so, with films that critics were at times lukewarm about makes sense. Platoon was one of Stone’s first completed scripts, and the films he wrote ahead of it were to build up his resume to get his passion project made. A similar thing happened with Born on the Fourth of July, which Stone started working on in the mid-70s. For the first 15 years of his career, getting those 2 films made was his main goal. You can always tell which movies he’s really invested in.
Stone wrote a lot of drug films back in the day and also Savages..Stone should wrote more drug/political movies
Oh, and the show showed the orgy clip even though the participants are half naked on national TV haha
Oliver Stone is my fav filmmaker. Yo, I wanted to punch Siskel & Ebert for bashing The Hand haha
I watched Platoon this morning and went to watch the version of this you had previously uploaded only to feel like I had hallucinated its existence lol
Scarface is one of my favorite movies! It teaches you a lot
