I highly recommend this book for anyone who is starting out with an interest in cinema. What's great is it's not just a list of Roger's favourite films but rather film's that are important, in other words, had a major cultural impact internationally. It's a great sampling from a variety of different genres and eras and gives the viewer the tools to then branch out with whatever films they are interested in themselves.And all the inside information in the films is great with Roger being a great one to deliver it considering he has lived through many of the most important moments in cinema history. You're not a film buff until you've read Roger's great movie series.
