Very comprehensive.
My Grandson is doing a film and media course at college and has found this to be not only interesting but full of invaluable insight. He loves it.

Fantastic
A brilliant book. Rather just a history of cinema, rather than a Top 100 films to see before you die. This book breaks cinema down in to different insightful chapters that approach cinema from different lenses. The historical history. The catagories of roles in cinema. The genres of cinema. The different countries making films. The directors. As well as notable films. Each section has a list of seven or eight key films to watch so you're endlessly getting notes that you can explore further. With tools like Youtube it's perfect for a quick search for a trailer or clips before delving back in. It is also suitable for children - there are no inappropriate films mentioned, but there is the occassional uses of the word sex.

Fab, film reference book

A quality and thorough guide to cinema.
I was really looking for a sort of "Halliwells" guide but this gives a more esoteric history of cinema rather than just a list. A great read (would still like a comprehensive list though).

Lots of Info packed into 360 pages
I was most interested in the last section titled Must See Movies. I read that first. Then worked my way back to the beginning! I appreciated the attention to film as a global phenomenon - not just a Hollywood history (though of course, that's a substantial part of the book). I recommend for people interested in knowing more about film, without getting into academic details. What I like best about this book is that you can open up to any page and read the info. It's meaty but short with lots of wonderful photos to illustrate and make you want to see so many films - often films you forgot about and would like to see again!
