1,000 Best Movies on DVD

Product Description
Rolling Stone’s Peter Travers, one of the nation’s most influential and popular film critics, takes readers beyond the movie to discuss what really counts on the DVD

Peter Travers, film critic and senior editor at Rolling Stone, has compiled reviews of the 1000 best film DVDs available. With an irreverent tone and an eclectic scope, Rolling Stone’s 1000 Best Movies on DVD was compiled on the premise that there’s room for Citizen Kane and Dodgeball in the same list. It details best bonus features (actor, director, commentaries, deleted scenes, new endings, and surprises hidden on the disc); reviews all aspects of the films and the quality of the DVD transfer; and includes "Hot Bonus" notes designed to let the reader know which segments will show off their DVD player and surround sound to greatest advantage. Full of fun factoids to know and share, Rolling Stone’s 1000 Best Movies on DVD is the book no movie lover’s library will be complete without. About the Author
