Siskel and Ebert's Top Film from Each Year

Can you name the films Siskel and Ebert thought were the best in each year? This quiz starts from Ebert's first list in 1967 and Siskel's first list in 1969. Siskel's choices end after 1998 because of his death in 1999. The quiz does not include 2008 and 2009 as Ebert listed his best films alphabetical rather than ranking them. This is my first real quiz so please let me know how I can improve it!
