Manhunter -
The Fly - two thumbs up
STAR TREK II - two thumbs up
Alien 3 - split. Roger gave it a thumbs up and Siskel did not.
Videodrome -
Pet Semetary - split. Same as Alien 3

Sorry, but from my understanding, Alien 3 was two thumbs down, Manhunter was two thumbs up (Gene gave it three and a half stars), videodrome was two thumbs down (Roger gave it one and a half star and I think Gene gave it two stars), and they did not review Pet Semetary on the show (however, Gene gave it zero star and Roger never reviewed it).

Good thing for TheSonomaDude but either case I bet that they should be on http://www.siskelandebert.org

After the release of The Silence of the Lambs, they made Manhunter their video pick of the week.

Martin Scorsese IS the best

So they would make me think that they liked it then, or why would they make it their video pick of the week?

The Fly they both liked. Alien 3 no. I know that Roger liked Star Trek 2 and hated Videodrome.

And the person that asked the question, should be able to find it at http://www.siskelandebert.com , or could be able to put a request in for the reviews if they aren't already there.

Roger liked the first three, disliked Alien 3 and Videodrome, and probably never saw Pet Sematery. Gene saw the latter and hated it (I remember him saying so in one of his '89 reviews).
