Opis:

Beginning with the first “talkie”, “The Jazz Singer” (1927), this book covers the 1000 best movies of this century. Each film is defined by a series of quick reference icons, with star profiles for each year featuring best actor and actress, birth and, where appropriate, death dates; brief filmography, scandal and gossip, and photography. “Guinness Choice” defines the best movie for each year, with a feature-length review. A window-on-the-world image defines the global event of the year, including political, sports, science and popular culture events together with the main Oscar awards. A guide to films on television and video is also included.
