What a fascinating book! The introduction by general editor Steven Jay Schneider details the process, and the difficulty, in narrowing the list of great movies down to 1,001. It was an immense task, and one that was undertaken with seemingly thoughtfulness and an attempt at unbiasedness (if that's a word!)

The films are listed in chronological order, beginning with 1902 and continuing through 2007. There is a handy checklist in the front, so you can check off the films as you view them. Each movie has a brief synopsis, lists director, producer, cast, and those responsible for the photography, screenplay and music, and is given a critical review. Any award nominations or wins are also listed.

There are foreign films as well...but don't worry. These are not just "high-brow" or artsy type films! Included in this must see list is: The Terminator, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and even The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Filled with black and white and color stills, this is the perfect gift for any movie fan. I highly recommend it!
