Great for those starting to venture into the world of movies, 2010-07-07
This book features many greats, but those who have already been into film for quite some time will definately have seen most of these movies. I'm 14 and I've seen about half of these films, I own a couple others, and I've certainly heard of all of them. Nonetheless, this is a great book for the beginner movie buff.

Title Is Misleading in the Extreme, 2010-01-31
The casual viewer of Turner Classic Movies who finds Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt a revelation or Wilder's Sunset Boulevard an undiscovered masterpiece will be pleased, but the serious student of film will find no surprises here. All of these films are well known and appreciated in some way by those who truly love motion pictures as an art form rather than something you rent at Blockbuster because you've nothing better to do. The person who refers to a film as a "great flic" will be thrilled by the mysterious treasures they find within these pages. However, if you are aware that directors existed before Spielberg and Cameron and that motion pictures once were silent, filmed in black and white, and popular before 1977, then do not disappoint yourself by purchasing this elementary guide for the elementary "movie fan."

Great book for film buffs, 2009-12-16
I have had this book for years and have used it to locate and view films. I purchased this copy to donate to a library. The book arrived on time and in good shape.

100 Best Films to Rent You've Never Heard Of, 2008-04-29
The product seemed a little lacking - contrary to the title, many of the movies it suggested were vaguely mainstream. It came on time and in good shape, and it did give me many ideas for what to see, but it's not the greatest "best movies" book I've seen.

100 films never heard of, 2008-01-12
Very interesting, provocative and varied; admittedly, some of the films are extremely well known to buffs and thus do not fit the "never heard of" label, but it is a great start for a Netflix queue or a Blockbuster trip. Unfortunately, since many of these are minor classics, many Blockbuster stores won't stock them -- you need a specialty video store.
