4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Coffee Table Book, 5 Feb 2004

By	"joa02dpm" - See all my reviews

Rather than the challenge the book's title suggests (it would take a week of soild film watching to see this lot - though what a week!) this is an excellent book. As an almost encyclopaedic book of quality film, it is always handy when flicking through the TV schedules, or before a trip to the video library, making way for a series of great nights in. This book is much more than a 'Halliwells' style reference guide, though, and its snappy style and colour pictures make it easy to dip into for a few moments as a light read with a cup of tea. Like most of these guides, it will probably start as many arguements as it will solve, but left in a strategic place, it will soon solve those awakward dinner-party silences. Perhaps the only criticism of the book would be that it is too encompasing - 1001 films allows for a lot of films that would stretch the tag of classic to its very limits!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Film Book, 7 Dec 2003

By	"scribeoflight" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (Paperback)

This is possibly the perfect film book; full of gorgeously reproduced stills and incisive, readable short essays, it’s both an indulgent, enjoyable read and a useful, eye-opening guide. Arranged chronologically, a page allocated to each film, this brick-like tome is as intellectually satisfying as it is visually attractive. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A surprisingly good read., 10 Mar 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: 1001 Movies 2004: You Must See Before You Die (Paperback)

I actually bought this simply as a reference book, in order to find out what classic movies might appeal to me and to find out which of the movies I had already seen were included. However, I soon discovered that the film reviews contained in this book are highly informative and entertaining to read (I found the early ones - the films are ordered chronologically - most interesting as they are extremely old films from about 1900 which I will never see).

I did not necessarily agree with all of the choices for the 1001 films themselves (Three Kings was included and yet The Day Of The Jackal and The Magnificent Seven were not), but even though you might question their choices this is an essential read for any aspiring film buff.

A reasonable good volume if a little patchy in places. Excellent pictorial reference to all good films, though the actual writing is a little information light. Read more
