1: You Must Remember This
This is an excellent book. I can't wait till they release the DVD companion. The response was fast and the book had a great price.

2: Marvelous!
This is an excellent companion book to the PBS miniseries.It's an instant classic among books about Hollywood-thorough,well-written,and beautifully
illustrated.OK,like another reader said,there are a couple of mistakes in the text-but they are things that most film lovers know anyway.And to Peter Wu-these movies have been available on TV and video for decades,
so the authors are assuming that you've already seen them.But none of this takes away from the viewer's or reader's enjoyment.This wonderful book is a joy from start to finish.Sit back and enjoy!

3: WE DO REMEMBER THIS . . . AND HERE'S THE BOOK OF MEMORIES
We do remember this and that, and all the great hits (and some flops) the Brothers Warner made. This coffee-table tome is chockfull of publicity stills, lobby cards, candid photos and movie-star portraits that prove, once and for all, they really did have faces then. The first half of the book is devoted to the classics, with more recent flick fare (and some of it hardly "classic") following. The companion to the five-part PBS documentary, it's a five-star feast for film fans. Worth the price of admission: the great shot of Hitchcock on the set of Rope and Bogie playing chess between takes on Casablanca! It's not all the stuff of which dreams are made, but it comes awfully close.

4: TERRIBLE!! SPOILS EVERY MOVIE!!
This TERRIBLE DOCUMENTARY is just a collection of generic interviews and clips of the ENDINGS OF EVERY MOVIE IT FEATURES!! It completely spoils all the movies if you haven't seen them!!! Who was the terrible lazy editor of this documentary? I can't believe Warner's approved this documentary. RIDICULOUS.

5: Sumptuous and beautiful but...
No doubt about it-this is a gorgeous book and a must for classic film fans. However, I'm getting increasingly annoyed at how major errors are slipping through the cracks.. For example, it's listed that Bette Davis WON the Oscar for "All About Eve." Maybe in her own mind she did but not in reality. Also, did you know that "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" only won two Oscars? Not true.Im sure there are more errors of this nature. I'm not certain which author to blame, but I have a feeling it's not Schickel.
