A seminal book

Every fantasy, horror and sci-fi movie fan should own this. It covers every significant movie in those genres, with an emphasis on movies between 1968 and 1983. Chapters are helpfully divided by the three major genres, and there is also a section on significant filmmakers such as Lucas, Spielberg, etc. Peter Nicholls offers a fascinating comprehensive overview of the history of fantasy movies, while also interjecting his personal opinion on the films involved. There is also a useful index of reviews in the back that even rates the gore factor where appropriate. My only regret is that there has never been an updated version released.
