Fans of offbeat cinema, discriminating renters and collectors, and movie buffs will drool over this checklist of the best overlooked and underappreciated films of the last 100 years.

Each essay features a detailed description of plot, notable trivia tidbits, critical reviews, and interviews with actors and filmmakers.

Hidden Gems for Everyone!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Canadian film critic Richard Crouse, who may not be wholly familiar to those of us native to the United States, delivers //Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen//, and provides a brief yet detailed list of relatively obscure movies (at least to the casual filmgoer) that are worth taking the time to explore. Ranging from Billy Wilder's brilliant--and bitter--Ace in the Hole to Ed Wood's much-maligned epics to Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! to out-of-print silent films that most of us have never heard of, the book is comprehensive in its way, in spite of being such an abbreviated list. This book is a must have for the newbie cinephile as well as for anyone who enjoys good (and sometimes bad) movies and wants to improve their breadth of knowledge. From brilliant art-house films to B-movie classics, //Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen// provides film suggestions for everyone--and then some. Reviewed by Ashley McCall
