America's most trusted and best-known film critic Roger Ebert presents one hundred brilliant essays on some of the best movies ever made.

Roger

Ebert, the famed film writer and critic, wrote biweekly essays for a feature

called ""The Great Movies,"" in which he offered a fresh and fervent appreciation of

a great film. The Great Movies collects one hundred of these essays, each one of

them a gem of critical appreciation and an amalgam of love, analysis, and history

that will send readers back to that film with a fresh set of eyes and renewed enthusiasm-or

perhaps to an avid first-time viewing.

Ebert's selections range widely across genres,

periods, and nationalities, and from the highest achievements in film art to justly

beloved and wildly successful popular entertainments. Roger Ebert manages in these

essays to combine a truly populist appreciation for our most important form of popular

art with a scholar's erudition and depth of knowledge and a sure aesthetic sense.

Wonderfully enhanced by stills selected by Mary Corliss, the film curator at the Museum

of Modern Art, The Great Movies is a treasure trove for film lovers of all persuasions,

an unrivaled guide for viewers, and a book to return to again and again.

The Great

Movies includes- All About Eve . Bonnie and Clyde . Casablanca . Citizen Kane . The

Godfather . Jaws . La Dolce Vita . Metropolis . On the Waterfront . Psycho . The

Seventh Seal . Sweet Smell of Success . Taxi Driver . The Third Man . The Wizard

of Oz . and eighty-five more films.

Reviews for The Great Movies

-This is a wonderful book, an appreciation of the greatest movies by the greatest movie enthusiast--and also the shrewdest, the most humane and clear-sighted. I read this book with pleasure, enlightenment, and a desire to see many of the movies again, because I had missed what Roger saw.- -- Paul Theroux From the Hardcover edition.
