Continuing the pitch-perfect critiques begun in The Great
Movies, Roger Ebert's The Great Movies II
collects 100 additional essays, each one of them a gem of
critical appreciation and an amalgam of love, analysis, and
history that will send readers back to films with a fresh
set of eyes and renewed enthusiasm—or perhaps to an avid
first-time viewing. Neither a snob nor a shill, Ebert
manages in these essays to combine a truly populist
appreciation for today's most important form of popular art
with a scholar's erudition and depth of knowledge and a sure
aesthetic sense. Once again wonderfully enhanced by stills
selected by Mary Corliss, former film curator at the Museum
of Modern Art, The Great Movies II is a treasure
trove for film lovers of all persuasions, an unrivaled guide
for viewers, and a book to return to again and
again.
