About This Book
This acclaimed film reference guide is packed with virtually everything
movie lovers need to know about the films they simply must see. Stephen
Jay Schneider and his team of writers have brought the book up to date
by including the most memorable movies released during the past five
years. Among their new additions are The Queen, The Lives of Others,
Brokeback Mountain, and several more recent movies that have attracted
worldwide attention. Covering more than a century of filmmaking and
dating back to silent-era sensations such as Edwin S. Porter's The Great
Train Robbery and Chaplin's The Gold Rush, this book describes musicals,
dramas, screwball comedies, experimental -- New Wave -- films from 1950s
and '60s Italy and France, major films noir, classic westerns, action
and adventure films, and even memorable documentaries. It lists each
film's director and cast, presents a plot summary and production notes,
and cites interesting, often little-known facts relating to the film's
cast, storyline, and production. For students of cinema, discerning film
buffs, DVD collectors, and readers who enjoy thumbing through and
reminiscing over cherished screen moments, 1001 Movies You Must See
Before You Die is the place to start reading. Filled with 800 movie
still shots and actors' photos.
