From the film critics of The New York Times come these uncut, original reviews of the most popular and influential movies ever made -- from the Talkies to blockbusters like Chicago and The Wizard of Oz from timeless classics like Casablanca and Notorious, to beloved foreign films by Truffaut and Kurosawa, Fellini and Almodovar. The reviews reflect Hollywood history at its best. In addition, this volume includes: Full cast and production credits for every movie; the ''10 Best" lists for every year from 1931 to 2018; an index of films by genre, and an index of foreign films by country of origin. This edition is thoroughly updated to include all the important movies of the past several years, as well as a new introduction by Times film critic, A.O. Scott.
