Refreshing List of Films

So many "best of" film books out there simply re-state lists that you have seen a million times. Most of them are American films that tend to be more mainstream as opposed to international and obscure. "Icons of Film: The 20th Century," however, displays about 80 films chronilogically from 1920 to 1999. The films range for the obscure to the better known, low budget to high budget and across all nationalities. The film descriptions also don't simply describe the films, but their importance to film as a whole. A great, stylish guide.
