My Favorite Films

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Old Movies
Review: I have two copies of this book, one by the TV and one by my bedside. This is a great reference book for old movies, with wonderful, insightful reviews. It is also a great book to just read and enjoy. Ghani's love of movies is palpable, and it's contagious. I also like the feel of the book itself, very European. Highly recommend for anyone who loves movies.

Summary: A Superb Book
Review: My Favorite Films is an ode to the old writer's adage: write about what you know. The result is a book that is not only as good a reference guide as exists but a highly enjoyable and sophisticated journey that informs, stimulates and provokes. What makes the book truly unique, however, is that, on top of his encyclopedic knowledge, the author has a passion for his subject. It is that passion that all movie buffs-young and old alike-will find irresistible. It quite literally exudes from every line of this highly erudite but unpretentious review of the author's favorite six hundred and fifty films.
