The New York Times Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made: An Indispensable Collection of Original Reviews of Box-Office Hits and Misses (Film Critics of the New York Times) Paperback – February 21, 2004

The previous reviewers were correct when they said that reviews of the movies listed in this book are available online, but what are actually available are review summaries, not the original, complete reviews. There are plenty of original reviews from other publications available online, I realize, but not from the New York Times, unless you subscribe to their online service.But, still, why buy the "tome" if you are satisfied with the reviews from other sources? Got me there. But if you're like me and you have a high regard for the Times' reviewers, past and present, and also value their selections, categorizations, and even the original best ten lists by year, this compilation is worth it. Okay, I admit I'm an old guy, but I do use the internet all the time, and one thing I don't like about it is the necessity of sifting through a ton of hits only to be disappointed that I didn't quite find what I really wanted. Yeah, I could piece it all together, but, in my opinion, there is still value in picking a volume off the shelf and getting just what you wanted in the first place.

There was a mysterious stain on the cover but my husband ripped the cover off and enjoyed the rest of the book. Can't beat the price and it was delivered promptly.

EXELLENT BOOK ! JUST ARRIVED TODAY ! THANK YOU !EGILL OSCAR GUSTAFSON.

I was hoping that it would be a collection of movie views so that I could look up a movie I might want to buy or check out from by library with some confidence that it's of good movie. Instead it' a list of movies the reviewers have determine, based on their own taste, are the best 1,000 movies.

I bought it for my son for Christmas and he was very excited as he a huge movie buff! Very comprehensive!

One big book, a comprehensive guide to films big and smaller. A terrific resource of information, a very good read.

I need to get this book for a school class. i have not really had a chance to read much of it yet.

My boyfriend's father is a huge movie buff so I got him this book and he loves it. Everytime he goes to rent a movie he uses it as a reference
