So when we received "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die"we started taking notes for our next Netflix order. "1001 Movies" is a cinephiles dream: From the silents ("The Birth of a Nation") to 1940s film noir ("The Maltese Falcon") to the first of the independents ("Cassavetes Shadows") to 2004s Oscar-winning "Million Dollar Baby," the book gives an extensive history of each film, with most entries accompanied by stills. We found plenty of little-seen gems, too, like Japanese director Kon Ichikawas "The Burmese Harp" from 1956. -- "Gotham" This gargantuan volume is the perfect tip sheet for cinephiles, and includes everything from 1920s "A Trip to the Moon" to last years "Million Dollar Baby," Its balanced diet of indisputable classics ("The Godfather"), cult flicks ("Eraserhead"), and obscurities ("The Ear") oughta keep you and your DVD player busy for many, many yearsor until Ben Affleck makes a movie worthy of inclusion. -- "Scene" terrifically useful. You can reacquaint yourself with old favorites you havent seen for years and remind yourself of what to pick up for home viewing. Editor Steven Jay Schneider and his team deliver succinct plot summaries and smart comment. -- "Houston Chronicle", "1001 MOVIES You Must See Before You Die ... a great motivating guide to cinema.
