"Have You Seen . . . ?": A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films
David Thomson
Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.
October 14, 2008

In 1975, David Thomson published his Biographical Dictionary of Film, and few film books have enjoyed better press or such steady sales.

Now, thirty-three years later, we have the companion volume, a second book of more than 1,000 pages in one voice that of our most provocative contemporary film critic and historian.

Juxtaposing the fanciful and the fabulous, this sweeping collection presents the films that Thomson offers in response to the question he gets asked most often. What should I see? This new book is a generous history of film and an enticing critical appraisal written with as much humor and passion as historical knowledge. Thomson has created a list that will surprise and delight you and send you to your best movie rental service.
