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.

Collector’s Essential
This is a very good resource for enhancing your information/knowledge on the greatest movies ever made. The information is not new since most of it could be obtained online, however for those who like to collect things in the spirit of “Old is Gold” this book is a must have. Just pour yourself a nice scotch and relax with this book in your hand, reading the book will be at least as fulfilling as watching the movies all over again, that too from the set itself.

Very little negative criticism herein. These reviews are of movies Ebert liked very much. Nevertheless, perceptive writing and viewing skills contribute to produce insightful reviews.

Son reseñas pequeñas de las pelÃculas consideradas relevantes por el autor. Si te gusta el cine y consideras importante la crÃtica de este personaje es buena adquisición
Peter The Terrible –
Liked the book mainly because there is information on several movies I have never seen. I may try to get the second book.Movies, like music are like your fingerprint, different for each person. It is interesting to read what makes a good movie in other people’s view.

like all great books of this sort Roger Ebert’s essays send you back to movies you have seen in the past and search out ones you may have missed out on. Even when you may not always agree with some of his selections you can still enjoy reading his views on them. Like Pauline Kael and David Thomson he is also a very good writer so even reading about movies you have not seen is never a task.Along with Thomson’s ‘Have You Seen’ this is a great book to pick up and flick through at any time.As Mr Ebert sadly passed away in 2013 we will have no new volumes to look forward to but he has left behind many volumes of movie reviews and we can be thankful for that.
