Book of the Week - "Have you Seen...?"

Book of the Week - "Have you Seen...?" by David Thomson. This book is a personal introduction to 1,000 films and a must reed for anyone who loves the silver screen: the perfect confection to dip into at any point for a taste of controversy, little-known facts, and ideas about what to see. This is a volume you'll want to return again and again, like a dear but argumentative friend in the dark at the movies.
