Customer Review: Somewhere in this bible size book for reasons apparent to Thomson and his editors he places "Les 400 Coups" on page 699 After "Quai des Orfevres, page 768" and before "The Queen" page 700. One wonders why he does not put this review in a place where it makes sense...say in the F's or even Les... more info
Customer Review: Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide is the perfect reference book for anyone who enjoys movies. Each review rates the movie, lists the director and major players and provides a short synopsis of the story. There's also a film biography for most major actors and actresses. You'll find yourself turning to... more info
Customer Review: This book is a good one to have handy to look at movies that you may or may not know and serves to job you into picking up one that you have not watched in awhile or in fact have never seen. It is extensive (and there is no way I think I will ever watch 1001 movies) but it does lead to some... more info

Customer Review: It was not a favorite. I've Woody Allen stuff and the GL's may be great for a museum but does not create the "meat in comedy" I was looking for.
Customer Review: This is a very impressive book. Great concept, great research, all very well woven together to create an engrossing picture of an industry and a period which are sometimes unfathomable to the layman. As an industry veteran, and as someone who was marginally involved in some of the movies discussed... more info
Customer Review: With "Somebody," Stefan Kanfer offers much more than a biography of America's greatest actor; it is also a tangential history of America working through one of its most artistically creative and socially challenging periods. Balancing relevant stories and astute observations that consistently avoid... more info
Customer Review: Very descriptive, yet very entertaining, story of Pixar. This book is told from an unbiased point of view and is engaging from beginning to end. Definitely recommend for any fan of Pixar!
Customer Review: Ircing Thalberg was born in Brooklyn to a prominent Jewish family. He was a weak boy suffering from heart disease and a series of other ailments. Doctors thought he would never make it to age 30. Being forced into bed for months at a time the lad read classics with a voracious appetite. He loved the... more info
Customer Review: While this coffee-table sized book has some great photos, especially of stars from the forties, and fascinating history of the early movie business, it did not have an editor or an organizing principle. Schickel writes some pages covering a period in movie history, then his co-author writes the... more info
