Why not Siskel?
It seems to be me he was the one with more intelligence and taste. He died relatively young, so Ebert had a longer career but I would personally be more interested in a documentary about Siskel. Just my two cents.

shareEbert ultimately had a greater impact than Siskel. Perhaps if Siskel had lived longer into the DVD and Internet era, but with Roger's great social media presence, the fact that he maintained a highly active blog (that he always interacted with readers on), and his numerous books, it seems obvious why he's the more impacting of the two (although I liked Siskel as well).

What Would Gibson Do?
Good question. I think it's been too long for Gene ... he died so young. Roger was the "bigger" sellout though as well. I really got to dislike him and disrespected his reviews for the last 10 years or more of his life.
shareYES!
shareI think Roger did more schmoozing and drinking, whoring, whatever with all these connected people.
I liked Gene too, probably better as a person. In the early Sneak Previews I agreed more with Roger,
but I grew to not really like him and in the last decade or so I thought he was on the take or working
for the film studios he was so tolerant of crap movies.
