1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
"The real usefulness of...a book like '1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die,' is that it provides good ideas for DVD rentals. I have, by the way, seen 943 of the 1,001 movies, and am carefully rationing the remaining titles to prolong my life." -Roger Ebert
| "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die is one heavy, fat tome, but it's a great motivating guide to cinema. After reading one of its engaging, often profound entries on a missed film, you want to run out to Premiere Video and rent it. Best of all, it includes international, silent, animated and recent films such as City of God. And yes, Richard Linklater's Slacker is here."
- Dallas Morning News, April 29, 2004
"Instead of simply summarizing the plot, Schneider and his team of experts briefly explain why each film is a must see. - Schneider's choices are irrefutable. Highly recommended for all film, general public, and academic reference collections." |
