Overview

These enthusiasts' lists, arranged by genre, director or actor, answer that most difficult of questions: what DVD should you rent for the night? Fancy a screwball comedy? We review all the classics. Not seen all the Herzog movies? Here's the lowdown on the best. Desperate to see that Scarlett Johansson again? No problem. All movie life is here . Action, African greats, alcohol, Robert Aldrich, aliens, Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar, Robert Altman, animated, anime, apocalypses, Argentina, art, Asia minor, avant garde And that's just A for you. A taste of this fabulously quirky and enjoyable book which is both a celebration of movies and movie trivia and a handy, entertaining guide to films that we know you will enjoy. It is fantastically functional. The lists are well conceived and easy to understand mostly assembled by genre, actor, director, theme or country of origin and the reviews are witty and informative. Oddly enough, most movie guides are not full of recommendations. But Movie Lists is, in spades, leaving readers in no doubt that the films reviewed are the business. Oh and you don't have to watch them all before you die. There is no premise of death in this book. You just need to get down to the local Blockbusters or flick your remote to Movies on Demand. Only the popcorn is not supplied.
