Otherwise just go out and visit New York if that's what you want to see. ROGER: The whole point is that you elevate the material with your style into something special. You know, I've got news for them, " Rear Window" wasn't shot in a real city either. ROGER: I got e-mail from people saying, "Well, you could see that there was an English sign in the window of one of the stores," or "It wasn't really shot" or "There's no street in Manhattan that's that narrow or doesn't have any traffic." Of course there isn't. And, you know, people put it up to this test of reality as if that means anything. It's also a film I cherish because it puts you in the authoritative hands of an old master, with a style that flies in the face of every modern convention. And I think " Eyes Wide Shut" is a profound film about love, sex, and trust in a marriage, about learning to take things day by day, and either accepting or ignoring whatever unpleasant truths come along. It's Manhattan as you'd experience it in a dream, where everything feels familiar but very strange.

MARTIN: I think a lot of people were looking at " Eyes Wide Shut" from the wrong angle - it's not to be taken literally. The key stop on his journey is a Long Island mansion, where a bizarre secret ceremony is underway. This sets Cruise's character off on a real odyssey. MARTIN: My Number 4 film is " Eyes Wide Shut," Stanley Kubrick's last, which was released in July of 1999 and it stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as a happily married couple who realize, thanks to a conversation that begins very casually, just how fragile the bond between them actually is. And that's her entry into the whole case. ROGER: - because she realizes maybe this guy was lying too. ROGER: "No I think you better sit back over there." But then the next morning she calls her friend and she finds out everything that guy told her was a lie and that's when she decides to go back and talk to Macy again in the scene we just saw. ROGER: "I'll sit over here with you," and she says Everyone else seems to be holding back their emotions and this guy completely disintegrates And there's also that wonderful scene with this Asian-American guy.

It's a movie that once it's on, if it's on television I'll keep watching the whole thing. I liked the whole picture, because it's sort of a, it's a comedy of manners. And particularly Macy's kind of passive-aggressive character. MARTIN: I loved the picture, especially the scene you just showed, the wonderful interrogation scene and the wonderful performances by everybody in the picture, Macy and McDormand. " Fargo" - one of the best films of the decade. And the photography makes the weather into a character, too-that cold white snowy wasteland where cars won't start and even the cops wear Elmer Fudd hats. ROGER: The most remarkable thing about " Fargo" is the way it combines a genuinely exciting and ingenious crime plot with such a good-hearted portrait of a plucky policewoman. Macy, as a very nervous car salesman who is up to his neck in a false kidnapping.

And here are two of everyone's favorite performances from the decade- Frances McDormand as a very pregnant police chief, questioning William H. So let's start with my Number 4 film, which is " Fargo," from 1996, by Joel and Ethan Coen.

And I predicted in that article that you would be a great director, and boy, was I right! And on today's show, we're going to review the top four films on our separate lists, and then list our top ten films of the decade. ROGER: You know, in the film business we kind of came in together because at my first Chicago film festival, in 1967, I reviewed your first film. And thank you Roger for bringing me back to Chicago and the snow. And on this special edition, I'll be joined by the director whose films " Taxi Driver" and " Raging Bull" were voted by many groups as the best films of the 1970s and the 1980s. I'm Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times.
