<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From America's most trusted and most visible film critic comes this collection of 100 brilliant essays on the films that define for him cinematic greatness.

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, <i>The Great Movies </i>is a treasure trove for film lovers of all persuasions, an unrivaled guide for viewers, and a book to return to again and again. <p/> <i>The Great Movies</i> includes: <i>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</i> - and eighty-five more films.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"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.
