Hidden Gems for Everyone!

Canadian film critic Richard Crouse, who may not be wholly familiar to those of us native to the United States, delivers //Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen//, and provides a brief yet detailed list of relatively obscure movies (at least to the casual filmgoer) that are worth taking the time to explore. Ranging from Billy Wilder's brilliant--and bitter--Ace in the Hole to Ed Wood's much-maligned epics to Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! to out-of-print silent films that most of us have never heard of, the book is comprehensive in its way, in spite of being such an abbreviated list. This book is a must have for the newbie cinephile as well as for anyone who enjoys good (and sometimes bad) movies and wants to improve their breadth of knowledge. From brilliant art-house films to B-movie classics, //Son of the 100 Best Movies You've Never Seen// provides film suggestions for everyone--and then some. Reviewed by Ashley McCall
