This is an amazing little book on films and well worth the wait on Amazon. Not sure why it takes so long to get this book but either way it's great. Inside you will find an eclectic mix of films as listed by many film insiders. When I got the book I was happy to see favorites of mine like Nausicaa, It's A Gift, Buckaroo Banzi, Against All Odds, After Hours, Dead Man, Gattaca, Liquid Sky, Stardust Memories, and The Third Man. While no book like this can ever have everything I was hoping to see a listing for Never Cry Wolf, a personal favorite of mine, and a much overlooked film. Still, this book is great and there are dozens and dozens of films I have never seen so there is a lot to keep me busy. That is why I bought the book, to get introduced to others much lauded diamonds in the rough.

I have to confess, although i love movies and have a decent "background", i don't watch them as often as i wish. But this book is sooooo good, that it makes me feel as if i am in the theater... I read it as a novel, or a collection of unforgettable short stories, and would like to see each and every one of the movies in it. There are secrets and descriptions, anecdotes, connections between famous movies and the ones overlooked or forgotten... And it is not every day you get great filmmakers to tell you their favorite movies!

How did I not already know of all these lost cinematic gems? This book is a wonderful foray into the motion pictures that may have slipped by without the recognition they deserve as the classics they truly are from some of the industry's foremost authorities.

A must have for any true cinephile or anyone simply looking to broaden their horizons.

I thought I knew movies, but City Secret's new movie book proved otherwise! Not only great for viewing suggestions, but simply an enjoyable read.

City Secrets Movies is a great addition to the City Secrets family...worth the wait! It's a fabulous read on its own as well as an invaluable resource for any serious movie lover's library. Rediscover movies you may have already seen through the eyes of artists, filmmakers, actors and writers or add to your list of "must sees" for your next Netflix order!
