It includes over 10,000 entries on the best of film and video that a real film lover might actually want to see.

The guide includes: -Reviews of more than 10,000 films -Four detailed indexes-by star, director, country of origin, and theme -More than 300 photos throughout -A listing of all the major film awards of the past quarter-century, as well as TLA Bests and recommended films -A comprehensive selection of cinema from more than 50 countries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Discerning film lover loves this book, December 13, 2003
This book is exactly what I needed to separate the good/excellent films from the bad and the ugly. I don't watch films (primarily those on TV) without consulting it. It has enabled me to find popular as well as little-known films that are well-made, well-acted, and well-directed. It has saved me hours of watching films that I wish I'd never seen and reading film guides that include most of the films ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality guide for quality films, October 3, 2005
By David Donaldson "Filmart_DD" (Adelaide, South Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well organised, thorough guide to best-known movies. Great resource for classy-style film programmers, not strong on cult/weird/offbeat material. Well-written without pretension.
