This is an excellent review of meaningful movies of all countries since the inception of full-length film in modern times. There are many questionable titles included but an argument for their inclusion can be made for most of these dubious selections. For sure, the vast majority of what most people would consider great films are included. One exception would be The Mission which is an 80s movie and the list is already 1980’s heavy as it is. Why wouldn’t it be? The editor says that this list was drawn for other preexisting lists which was then expanded in scope to be as diverse as possible. I have only seen a few of the foreign firms listed, but I had heard the names of most of them. Many of the pages have screen stills or lobby posters. The descriptions are all concise and objective. I first saw this book for sale in the bookstore of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Los Angeles. The films appear in the book in chronological order with name indices for the type of film it falls under (Action, Horror, Musical etc.). I suppose this is a reference book, but also serves as a quick listing of work on which new directors and actors can build upon. 959 pp. ( ) 1001 elokuvaa jotka jokaisen on nähtävä edes kerran eläessään on oivallinen opas jokaiselle elokuvista kiinnostuneelle. Teoksen alussa on tarkistuslista, josta voi ruksia elokuvat jotka on jo nähnyt. Teos antaa vinkkejä, kun tuntuu "ettei ole mitään katsottavaa". 1001 elokuvaa kattaa elokuvia vuodesta 1902 vuoteen 2011. Painotus on selkeästi länsimaisissa elokuvissa. Muun muassa draaman, komedian ja jännityselokuvan lisäksi teos listaa myös dokumenttien ja esimerkiksi film noirin klassikoita, mistä erityistä kiitosta. Tarjolla olevien elokuvien skaala ulottuu kaupallisista suuren yleison suosikeista (Grease, Titanic) harvinaisempiin kulttisuosiota nauttiviin elokuviin (Withnail and I, Picnic at the Hanging Rock). Elokuvia koskevat artikkelit ovat kirjoittajasta riippuen joko pelkkiä tiivistelmiä tai vastaavasti vähän syvällisempiä luotauksia kyseisen elokuvan merkitykseen. no reviews | add a review
