Product Description

Once upon a time, going to the movies was a special occasion, and you had no control over what was playing at your neighborhood cinema. But today films are like fashion, furniture, and food: you can choose what to enjoy. Movies finally fit into our schedules.

So here is the first movie guide tailored to the way we actually watch movies. Whether it’s Halloween, the brink of baseball’s Opening Day, or a Saturday evening with no babysitter; whether you’re bracing for a business trip, feeling nostalgic for the 1960s, or simply in need of a dose of optimism (or apocalypse), Flickipedia will steer you to over 1,300 films that will fit your movie-viewing appetite perfectly.

Entertaining as well as informative, Flickipedia recommends many movies that you may not be familiar with, while acknowledging the tried-and-true standbys and popular classics. Every step in life provokes different emotions, and Flickipedia is here with suggestions to cover the waterfront.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Movie Book I've Been Waiting For, August 28, 2008
No more watching just "It's a Wonderful Life" at Christmas, or "Pride of the Yankees" at Opening Day, this book is structured by the situations or occasions FOR which you'd rent or watch a movie. And it's got everything, from holidays to life events to one-off events like sick days and prepping for tropical vacations. A terrific idea whose time has come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flickipedia, March 11, 2008
Categorizes movies. Fun to read. Left out Whoopie Goldberg-don't understand why this would happen.
