Product Description

Synopsis
Somewhere in the labyrinth of our memories are films that we have seen and cannot forget but frustratingly may never see again because they have mysteriously vanished from the public domain. They may be hidden away in a film studio's vault, buried beneath the floorboards of a filmmaker's home, imprisoned by some ancient legality, refused release at a director's whim or simply not optioned by a distributor.This book brings back to life 101 films that are entombed in a cinema cemetery and in so doing unearths a film noir masterpiece, a French classic, a Mastroianni feature comparable to "Cinema Paradiso", a pioneering Independent film of the fifties, a Joan Crawford headliner, an amazing Nicholas Ray experimental feature, Italian comedies by Nichetti and lost gems by Widerberg, Hitchcock, Lang, Ford, Lubitsch, Litvak, Dmytryk, Kazan, Cacoyannis, Boetticher, Zinnemann, Ray, Huston and many more luminaries of the silver screen. No film is guaranteed a general release whether screened at Sundance or Cannes and though critics may acclaim them, audiences applaud them, too many disappear into oblivion.

This book pays homage to those lost films that deserve to be exhibited beyond the screen of our mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars not coming to a dvd near you, 20 Sep 2008
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
a short but fascinating book listing 101 films that are not available on dvd and show no signs of becoming so.

divided into chapters covering decades from the twenties right up to the current one, and a couple of chapters about films that appear to be stuck in limbo without a distributor, each entry lists the year of production and the cast, gives a synposis of the plot, and describes how rare the film is and why. there are also pieces on the star or director of most of them, and links to other films in the volume that they've also worked on.

there are two small sections of stills from some of the films in question.

the writer's obvious love of movies shines through, and he will make you intrigued about these movies and lament the fact you may never get to see them. the book also contains a list of sources and a good index.

short but fascinating. I'm not nearly as big a movie buff as the writer, but this hooked me anyway and it's well worth a look

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost!, 2 Jun 2008
By R. L. Carter "Raechel" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't be misled by its size, this little book is jam packed with information on 101 'lost' films from the 1920s to the current decade. You may think it's just for the committed film buff but with the quirky actor/director write-ups after each film profile this book will appeal just as much to the Hollywood Babylon crowd or those who want to impress their friends with little-known film facts. The design and layout is excellent, with the index you can select the film, actor or director you want to read about and then dip in and out of the book as you wish. Or read it from cover to cover in one sitting - i did! You'd think the films of a director of Alfred Hitchcock's calbire would all be available in the public domain, wouldn't you? Think again, 2 such films are profiled in 101 Forgotten Films. Think all of Marilyn Monroe's films are available? Read Brian Mills' book to find out exactly why you are wrong. And if the film descriptions make you hungry to see the 'lost' films, turn to the photos section and see a few select stills from the films to whet your appetite even more. And then hope that these films make their way back into the market again!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gone but not forgotten, 29 May 2008
Seen many films? forgotten many? (Not including the ones YOU WANT to forget). Everybody has, so it's surprising that no one has thought of this idea before.

Author Brian Mills has compiled 101 Forgotten Films(Hence the title)that you may or may not be familiar with.

I must confess i had expected to find nothing but films from the 20's 30's & 40's so it was quite surprising to see films from the 90's and 2000's included, and by such directors as Robert Altman,John Huston,Ingmar Bergman and Alfred Hitchcock and make no mistake the films included in the book are not some low budget directorial debut that's best forgotten but major studio releases.

The books format is simple:

Director Writer and Cast info
Story synopsis.......just enough to get you interested
Rarity Rating.........how hard is to find the film
Director/Star summary....Background info

The book is not a heavy reference piece but rather something that will get you interested enough that you'll be searching those movie websites at the first oppotunity,It's paperback size means you can put it in your pocket and dip in and out of it as you want on those boring bus/rail journeys.

It may even get you thinking about your own 101 list, i'm sure the author's list was probably much longer so don't be surprised to see follow-up volumes... "Another 101 Forgotten Films" or "101 Films i forgot to mention first time around" there's more out there and this is the perfect place to start.
