Excellent and very detailed overview of the 300+ movies from the last 100 years of so and their financial and critical succeses.

One bad thing about the book is that it is ridden with typos.

Another thing is the strange fact that it stop in 2005, no movies from 2006-2010 are included even thought the book just came out.

George Lucas's name is featured prominently on the cover, but he only wrote a one page intro and apparently selected the films. Kind of a quirky list of films in my opinion. Discovered quite a few egregious errors as well, so can't recommend. There must be better movie books out there, but for now I'm sticking with IMDB.

The most exciting legend of our time! The childhood and developing years of Bruce Lee, when he was torn between East and West. His discovery of the martial arts and how he became a supreme master of them. His fantastic movie-making career as the world's first Oriental superstar. His marriage, his love life, his diet, his use of drugs, his philosophy. His frends, his enemies, his worshippers. The startling truth behind his strange death. And much more-including a very candid exclusive show more interview with the beautiful Angela Mao-ying, the fabulous star of Deep Thrust and Bruce Lee's companion in films. All revealed for the first time in the most intimate protrayal of the incredible Bruce Lee ever published!
