Review: 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! Review: Great book - This book is exactly what you expect it to be. It’s a great gift for movie fans. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #170,683 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Documentary Movies #94 in Movie Guides & Reviews #295 in Art of Film & Video | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 346 Reviews | ## Images ![The Film Book, New Edition: A Complete Guide to the World of Movies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81e0btje9uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of Info packed into 360 pages *by N***R on June 15, 2023* I was most interested in the last section titled Must See Movies.
