 Film Buff's Bible
For anyone who appreciates every aspect and every fibre on the history of the Hollywood film system, this is a great guide to keep by your bedside.
Not only are you given a timeline that follows over a hundred years worth of events and headlines, but the book also covers the technical side of todays modern day film making, and also the language used by todays truly acclaimed filmakers.
Relatively comprehensive look at the American Film Institute
There are plenty of good books available on what films are out there and other books of the art of making films. We can find vertical market books on specific subjects that are film related. However this book is exactly hat the title implies. There is more depth to this book than just an overview or an introduction book. Although this book could be a good coffee table book it also makes a good desk reference book.
With 608 pages, most containing partial if not totally glossy color snaps from the famous and obscure movies of our time. The different subject or chapters have color coded tabs on the edge of the page allowing for quickly finding the information sought.
Although designed as a reference I found it more fun to read page by page picking up gems here and there that would never have been found by just reference searches.
Best film book ever
Great one. All types of information and fun. Just get it!
 A Good Guide for Those New to Film
I guess I should have realized from the title that this wouldn't be a comprehensive and in-depth guide. It is a good overview of film history and important movies for those just coming to know classic cinema. Otherwise, it is a bit basic and leaves a lot to be desired. The photos are great, the paper glossy, it's just that the message is a bit on the thin side.
 This Book Is Absolutely Perfect...
...especially if you are a film student and/or studying for a movie trivia game show. I love that it has loads of pictures and tables/lists. Plus, it has any and everything you need to know about the movies. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who would like to know more about film. I promise, you won't be disappointed! :-)
