501 Must-See Movies door Ann Lloyd
Solid compilation of movies to see with only a few clunkers in the bunch--some of the more contemporary choices are a bit strained (Young Guns is not a classic western). But on the whole, well chosen and a nice intro for film novices and even for more flick savvy folks like myself there were a few surprises--films that I may have been only vaguely aware of are now on my watch for list (Dead of Night, The Iron Horse, Run of the Arrow). Broken in film genre's (Western, Romance, Sci-Fi, Mystery/Thriller), each film is given a tight synopsis with credits and academy award nominations and wins. Nice to have laying around for the occasional dip or dive into.… (meer)
There might be about 20 films I disagree should be here, and perhaps 35 I'd add. And, of course, there's one or two new films every year I'd add to the mix. However, all-in-all, this book would make an excellent guide to anyone wishing to build their own film collection. And, yes, I do own the lion's share of these.
Some of the recommended movies I would much rather I not waste my time on, but in the context of popular culture (movies that get referenced in pop culture, that is), these were some of the best.
A decent book on the subject. Not all of the films listed are "must see" in my opinion, but a great many certainly are. The quality of the entries varies, but that is inevitable in a book like this, I guess. There were a surprising number of typos in names, however. The book did make me want to watch many of the mentioned films, so it cannot have been a failure in its most important purpose.
