From Booklist
Film lovers seeking critical guidance more discerning than daily newspaper reviews but less daunting than scholarly journal articles depend on a handful of critics who write about rarefied films for a general audience. 1001 Movies You Must See before You Die puts a user-friendly mask on the serious thought animating its effort to create a roster of indispensable films and rather belies the erudition of its well-qualified contributors.

THE CINEPHILE BIBLE!
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! It covers every genre, good or bad, culturally important, cinematically revolutionary, narratively stirring, and the notoriously awful movies people watch…

Great Collectible Book!
This was a well-received gift for an avid movie lover!
The only complaint I have is not about the book, but rather the packaging of it.

Good, but can be better
It’s a good book, but I think that author could choose newest movies. There is a lot of 10, 20, 30’s movies and few from the recent decades.

Where the hell is ‘The Shop around the Corner’?
1. It doesn’t include ‘The Shop around the corner’, whereas ‘Apocalypto’ and ‘Borat’ is included. How is that REMOTELY possible?

WHERE IS THE GEORGE PAL CLASSIC “THE WAR OF THE WORLDS”?
I love this book: the history as it follows important films year by year from the silent era to the present day; the well-written reviews even though perhaps too revealing…
