    About this ebook

    Everyone loves Best Movies' lists. But this book is more than just a list of great movies. In addition to the author's listing of the best 400, a number of these pictures are examined in detail: "The Third Man" for example, and "The Shepherd of the Hills", "The General", "Gilda", "Tales of Manhattan", "The Big Clock", "Anna Karenina", "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "China Seas", "Duck Soup", the entire "Thin Man" series, "The Citadel", "Cat People", "Cardinal Richelieu", "Are Parents People?", "I Found Stella Parrish", "Hips, Hips, Hooray", "I Remember Mama", "Three Godfathers". "Special Agent", "Spite Marriage", "The 13th Guest", "I Walk Alone", "Love on the Run", "Oil for the Lamps of China", "Odor in the Court", "Tower of London", "The Uninvited", "Another Fine Mess", "Hold That Co-Ed", "The Old Dark House", "Our Hospitality", "The Last of Mrs Cheyney", "Paris Interlude", "Parachute Jumper", "The Purchase Price", "The Trouble with Harry", "Lisbon", and "Rose of Washington Square".

    There are of course exhaustive details and reviews of many more classic films in the book itself. But not all old movies are golden oldies. You'll find one or two clunkers sprinkled through the above list and more are examined in the book: Films like "Two Guys from Milwaukee" and "British Intelligence", plus a special account of "Thunder over Texas", the author's nomination for worst western "B" movie of all time.
