The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies $70.63 The Encyclopedia covers the genre from 1920 to 1994.

Each entry includes a listing of the production company, the cast and crew, distributors, running times, reviews with star ratings whenever possible, and alternate film titles. A list of film series and one of the stars’ pseudonyms, in addition to a 7,900 name index, are also included. Illustrated. |

How to Go to the Movies $18.45 Since moving to New York City over a decade ago, Quentin Crisp has brought his love of the cinema and his notorious wit together in a series of essays on films and film stars. A veteran film-goer of seventy years who has kept a vigilant eye on changing Hollywood styles and the public tastes that follow, Mr. Crisp discusses both films and stars with his typical panache and dexterity and leads his readers with polite madness to a clear, straightforward moral, proving himself to be an unexpected champion of good sense. Along the way Mr. Crisp shares his personal encounters with the likes of Lillian Gish, John Hurt, David Hockney, Divine, Sting, and Geraldine Page. Prefaced by longer essays on the essence of stardom, the nature of Hollywood, and the deplorable state of that town today, Mr. Crisp’s book is a delight to read. |

Doc Martin The Movies DVD $39.98 “Thoroughly charming.” – The Guardian (U.K.) The two TV movies that inspired the hit series Martin Clunes (Men Behaving Badly ) stars as Dr. Martin Bamford. He is an obstetrician and his reasons for leaving London are more personal than professional. Unlike ornery surgeon Dr. Ellingham, he is not rude, irascible, or socially inept – he even smiles! However, we do get glimpses of his selfishness, short temper and distaste for dogs. In Doc Martin , the doctor flees to a coastal village to reassess his marriage and his career. In Doc Martin and the Legend of the Cloutie , he resorts to camouflage, subterfuge and folk magic to get what he wants: a secluded house in the country away from his nosy neighbors in town. Also stars Anna Chancellor (Four Weddings and a Funeral ) and Pam Ferris (Rosemary & Thyme ). Includes SDH subtitles. (2 DVD) approx. 162 mins. |

Crime Movies PB $5.81 Crime movies are as old as filmmaking itself. They embody the American nightmare, functioning both as a mirror of society and a tool for educating the public about its enemies. In this history of the genre Carlos Clarens gives us a mini-history of crime American-style. From D. W. Griffith and New York’s Biograph Studios, where raw violence was introduced to celluloid immortality, to today’s multimillion-dollar celebrations of blood and power," Crime Movies "shows us the whole picture: the unchanging cast of characters (the gangster hero, swaggering, charming, suspicious; the stoolpigeon or strikebreaker; the moll); the stars (James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, George Raft, Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, Richard Widmark); the censorship battles, political pressure, and public outcry. This book illuminates movies such as "Intolerance, Underworld, Little Caesar, Public Enemy, Kiss of Death, On the Waterfront, Bonnie and Clyde, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs, "and hundreds of others, while detailing the film-making strategies Hollywood has adopted to deal with the controversial yet profitable and enduring subject of American criminality. |

Hollywood: Mecca of the Movies $4.91 Blaise Cendrars, one of twentieth-century France’s most gifted men of letters, came to Hollywood in 1936 for the newspaper "Paris-Soir." Already a well-known poet, Cendrars was a celebrity journalist whose perceptive dispatches from the American dream factory captivated millions. These articles were later published as "Hollywood: Mecca of the Movies," which has since appeared in many languages. Remarkably, this is its first translation into English. Hollywood in 1936 was crowded with stars, moguls, directors, scouts, and script girls. Though no stranger to filmmaking (he had worked with director Abel Gance), Cendrars was spurned by the industry greats with whom he sought to hobnob. His response was to "invent" a wildly funny Hollywood of his own, embellishing his adventures and mixing them with black humor, star anecdotes, and wry social commentary. Part diary, part tall tale, this book records Cendrars’s experiences on Hollywood’s streets and at its studios and hottest clubs. His impressions of the town’s drifters, star-crazed sailors, and undiscovered talent are recounted in a personal, conversational style that anticipates the "new journalism" of writers such as Tom Wolfe. Perfectly complemented by his friend Jean Guerin’s witty drawings, and following the tradition of European travel writing, Cendrars’s "little book about Hollywood" offers an astute, entertaining look at 1930s America as reflected in its unique movie mecca. |

Impossible Bodies: Feminity and Masculinity at the Movies $3.52 Impossible Bodies investigates issues of ethnicity, gender, and sexuality in contemporary Hollywood. Examining stars from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Clint Eastwood, to Whoopi Goldberg and Jennifer Lopez, Holmlund focuses on actors whose physique or appearance marks them as unusual or exceptional, and yet who occupy key and revealing positions in today’s mainstream cinema. Exploring a range of genres and considering both stars and their sidekicks, Holmlund examines ways in which Hollywood accommodates – or doesn’t – a variety of ‘impossible’ bodies, from the ‘outrageous’ physiques of Dolph Lundgren and Dolly Parton, to the almost-invisible bodies of Asian-Americans, Latinas and older actors. |

Entertaining America: Jews, Movies, and Broadcasting $37.89 "Entertaining America" is a captivating look at one of the longest-running and most provocative public discussions in America: the relationship between the nation’s Jews and its entertainment media. This colorfully written, lavishly illustrated book surveys how Jews have participated in–and been identified with–American movies, radio, and television from the nickelodeon era at the turn of the twentieth century to the present day. Throughout, the tone is lively, the design is playful, and key points are visually enhanced by stills, publicity photos, and memorabilia. This anthology of original analyses and primary texts covers a wide range of topics, including the multiple versions of "The Jazz Singer," the saga of the Hollywood movie moguls, the irrepressible Goldbergs of radio and television fame, the representation of the Holocaust, how Charlie Chaplin and other non-Jewish stars became "virtual Jews," and the dazzling success of the television series "Seinfeld." There is also an illustrated gallery of more than twenty Jewish-American stars from Theda Bara to Adam Sandler. The principal authors, J. Hoberman and Jeffrey Shandler, examine not only the history of Jews in the industry but also the steady stream of richly varied voices that have had something to say about this history–in fan magazines as well as literary fiction, by religious and political leaders as well as journalists, historians, and Jews in the entertainment business themselves. "Entertaining America," which accompanies an exhibition opening at The Jewish Museum, is itself tremendously entertaining while providing the most expansive, authoritative look at this fascinating subject. In its pages, readers will find ample material to help them formulate their own responses to this frank, contentious, multilayered discussion. EXHIBITION SCHEDULE The Jewish Museum, New York February 21 – September 14, 2003 The Jewish Museum of Maryland, Baltimore October 16, 2003 – January 18, 2004 |

Masked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties $11.86 The fifties marks the moment when a heterosexual/homosexual dualism came to dominate U.S. culture’s thinking about masculinity. The films of this era record how gender and sexuality did not easily come together in a normative manhood common to American men. Instead these films demonstrate the widely held perception of a crises of masculinity. Masked Men documents how movies of the fifties represented masculinity as a multiple masquerade. Hollywood’s star system positioned the male actor as a professional performer and as a body intended to solicit the erotic interest of male and female viewers alike. Drawing on publicity, poster art, fan magazines, and the popular press as a means of following the links between fifties stars, their films, and the social tensions of the period, Cohan juxtaposes Hollywood’s narratives of masculinity against the personae of leading men like Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, William Holden, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, and Rock Hudson. Masked Men focuses on the gender and sexual masquerades that organized their performances of masculinity on and off screen. |

Their First Time in the Movies DVD/Video Package $3.46 By day he was a Memphis truck driver who hated his job and aspired to become an electrical repairman. But young Elvis Presley had another dream, and in 1954 he stepped into the studio at Sun Records to say goodbye to driving trucks forever. Within two years, he was not only a recording star but a film star as well. The King was born. When he arrived in Hollywood from his home in Missouri determined to make it, he found work at a Mexican restaurant wearing a chicken costume. But when Brad Pitt landed his first acting gig in Dallas it was in the role of the boyfriend of Priscilla Presley’s on-screen daughter. The road to stardom is filled with odd detours and some spectacular potholes. Their First Time in the Movies charts that crazy journey and the moment, the very edge of stardom, when some of our best-loved stars began to glimmer. We all know the Marilyn Monroe of Some Like it Hot and the Clark Gable of Gone with the Wind. Everyone remembers Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull, Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. But before they were stars they were hopefuls with talent, determination, and often an uncanny gift for following their illustrious destinies. Now, for the first time ever, the first performances — in the movies — of over 30 top stars are collected on one video tape, complemented by a beautifully designed book that tells the stories of these stars, and 70 others, on their way to the top. It is a remarkable showcase of the raw talent that made our top entertainers the enduring stars they are. |

Death on the Cheap: The Lost B Movies of Film Noir $19.67 Robert Mitchum once commented to Arthur Lyons about his movies of the 1940s and 1950s: "Hell, we didn’t know what film noir was in those days. We were just making movies. Cary Grant and all the big stars at RKO got all the lights. We lit our sets with cigarette butts." Film noir was made to order for the "B," or low-budget, part of the movie double bill. It was cheaper to produce because it made do with less lighting, smaller casts, limited sets, and compact story lines–about con men, killers, cigarette girls, crooked cops, down-and-out boxers, and calculating, scheming, very deadly women. In "Death on the Cheap," Arthur Lyons entertainingly looks at the history of the B movie and how it led to the genre that would come to be called noir, a genre that decades later would be transformed in such "neo-noir" films as "Pulp Fiction, Fargo," and "L.A. Confidential," The book, loaded with movie stills, also features a witty and informative filmography (including video sources) of B films that have largely been ignored or neglected–"lost" to the general public but now restored to their rightful place in movie history thanks to "Death on the Cheap," |

Screen Savers: 40 Remarkable Movies Awaiting Rediscovery $24.08 Boris Karloff will forever be Frankenstein’s Monster, but is that any reason for us to overlook his later great horror film Isle of the Dead (1945)? An Oscar was George Clooney’s reward for Syriana (2005), but isn’t the underrated war film Three Kings (1999) still his best movie? Woman of the Year (1942) introduced the team of Tracy and Hepburn, yet didn’t their later Pat and Mike (1952) resoundingly surpass it? Jeff Bridges has long been one of our best actors, so why didn’t anyone take notice of his sleeper Bad Company (1972)? The lasting impact of Psycho (1960) unfairly overshadows Anthony Perkins’s great work in the darkly comic thriller Pretty Poison (1968), while Stanley Kubrick’s later work keeps his terrific caper The Killing (1956) from attaining classic status. Can you really say you love Audrey Hepburn if you haven’t seen her at her most radiant in Stanley Donen’s gem Two for the Road (1967)?Screen Savers: 40 Remarkable Movies Awaiting Rediscovery puts the spotlight on these and other superb yet underappreciated movies spanning the twentieth century. Essential stars and directors are represented here, not for their undisputed marvels but for other equally wonderful films that warrant overdue or renewed recognition: Cover Girl, They Came to Cordura, Portrait of Jennie, The Seventh Cross, The Lusty Men, Hail the Conquering Hero, Rambling Rose, Time after Time, and many others.Author John DiLeo offers full-bodied appraisals of each of his selections, breezily combining scholarly acumen with a film fanatic’s passion. DiLeo utilizes his lively, accessible style and sharp, insightful critical eye, venturing beyond obvious choices and whetting our appetites to see these vital movies. Be they underseen, dismissed, or taken-for-granted in their day, the films in Screen Savers deserve a place of honor in our film heritage. |

Profoundly Erotic: Sexy Movies That Changed History $26.66 Movie stars do it better, or so it seems. Sex on the silver screen unfolds in such a perfect way and we get sucked in. Whether we want to admit it or not, much of our sexual behavior has been learned from the movies. From Joe Bob Briggs comes Profoundly Erotic, a collection of essays on sex in film. This guide explores the most seminal films―from cult classics to Hollywood blockbusters―that both shaped and reflected America’s changing mores and codes about sex. Briggs, who has been called the Leonard Maltin of cult movies, makes good on his reputation as an off-kilter and daring movie guru in this revealing look at filmed fornication. Profoundly Erotic follows Joe Bob’s popular Profoundly Disturbing. Now Joe Bob takes on the key films that turn us on, such as It Happened One Night (1938), Lolita (1962), Belle de Jour (1967), and sex, lies, and videotape (1989). Illustrated with lurid stills and posters, the book strips down the hottest screen moments in history with the bodies we adore, from Rudolf Valentino and Mae West to Brigitte Bardot and Sharon Stone. In addition to the ten main movies, the book features a hundred more capsule reviews in "For Further Frisson" sidebars. Praise for Profoundly Disturbing: "A valuable and entertaining survey of movies that broke taboos." ―Leonard Maltin "The book merits attention from fans tired of high-minded essays about classics such as Citizen Kane, and explains why crass, tasteless pictures often make more impact than those released with the stamp of respectability." ―Publishers Weekly |

I Thought We Were Making Movies, Not History $3.76 This is a moving, star-filled account of one of Hollywood’s true golden ages as told by a man in the middle of it all. Walter Mirisch’s company has produced some of the most entertaining and enduring classics in film history, including "West Side Story," "Some Like It Hot," "In the Heat of the Night," and "The Magnificent Seven," His work has led to 87 Academy Award nominations and 28 Oscars. Richly illustrated with rare photographs from his personal collection, "I Thought We Were Making Movies, Not History" reveals Mirisch’s own experience of Hollywood and tells the stories of the stars–emerging and established–who appeared in his films, including Natlie Wood, John Wayne, Peter Sellers, Sidney Poitier, Steve McQueen, Marilyn Monroe, and many others. With hard-won insight and gentle humor, Mirisch recounts how he witnessed the end of the studio system, the development of independent production, and the rise and fall of some of Hollywood’s most gifted (and notorious) cultural icons. A producer with a passion for creative excellence, he offers insights into his innovative filmmaking process, revealing a rare ingenuity for placating the demands of auteur directors, weak-kneed studio executives, and troubled screen sirens. From his early start as a movie theater usher to the presentation of such masterpieces as "The Apartment," "Fiddler on the Roof," and "The Great Escape," Mirisch tells the inspiring life story of his climb to the highest echelon of the American film industry. This book assures Mirisch’s legacy–as Elmore Leonard puts it–as "one of the good guys." |

Horrible Experience of Unbearable Length: More Movies That Suck $8.17 Roger Ebert’s "I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie" and "Your Movie Sucks," which gathered some of his most scathing reviews, were best-sellers. This new collection continues the tradition, reviewing not only movies that were at the bottom of the barrel, but also movies that he found underneath the barrel. "A Horrible Experience of Unbearable Length" collects more than 200 of his reviews since 2006 in which he gave movies two stars or fewer. Known for his fair-minded and well-written film reviews, Roger is at his razor-sharp humorous best when skewering bad movies. Consider this opener for the one-star "Your Highness" ""Your Highness" is a juvenile excrescence that feels like the work of 11-year-old boys in love with dungeons, dragons, warrior women, pot, boobs, and four-letter words. That this is the work of David Gordon Green beggars the imagination. One of its heroes wears the penis of a minotaur on a string around his neck. I hate it when that happens." And finally, the inspiration for the title of this book, the one-star "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a doglike robot humping the leg of the heroine. If you want to save yourself the ticket price go, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination." Movie buffs and humor lovers alike will relish this treasury of movies so bad that you may just want to see them for a good laugh |

Pictures at a Revolution: Five Movies and the Birth of the New Hollywood $3.46 An epic account of how the revolution hit Hollywood, told through the stories of the five films nominated for the 1967 Academy Awards The year is 1963. The studios are churning out westerns, war movies, prudish sex comedies and overblown historical epics, but audiences whose interests have been piqued by an influx of innovative films from abroad are hungering for something more, something new. At "Esquire," two young writers hatch a plan to create a movie treatment that they hope will attract the director FranAois Truffaut: the story of the gangsters Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Mike Nichols, an improvisatory comedian turned neophyte theater director, gets his hands on an obscure first novel called "The Graduate" and wonders if he’s ready to make the jump to Hollywood. Warren Beatty, just 26 years old and struggling through a series of flops after the success of "Splendor in the Grass," decides to take his career into his own hands, but can’t seem to settle on his next move. Dustin Hoffman, sleeping on friends’ floors and scrounging for temp work in New York, struggles just to get an off-Broadway audition. Sidney Poitier, after two dozen movies, still yearns for something that seems completely unattainable: a good role. And 20th Century Fox, on the brink of financial catastrophe, puts all its hopes in a genre-the family musical-that will revitalize the company and then nearly destroy it again. "Pictures at a Revolution" tracks five movies-the milestones "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Graduate," the popular hits "Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner" and "In the Heat of the Night," and the big-budget disaster "Doctor Dolittle"-on their five-year journey to Oscar night in the spring of 1968. It follows their fortunes through the last days of the studio system and the first sparks of a cultural upheaval that would launch maverick new stars and directors, topple more than one industry titan from his pedestal, and redefine what American movies could be. In 1967, moviegoers witnessed the arrival of taboo-shattering sex and violence on screen, the debuts of Dustin Hoffman and Faye Dunaway, the return of Katharine Hepburn and the poignant farewell of Spencer Tracy, the audacious risks taken by Warren Beatty, Arthur Penn, Mike Nichols and Norman Jewison, and Hollywood’s agonized attempt to grapple with an incendiary moment in American race relations, with results that would change Sidney Poitier’s career forever. By tracing the gambles, the stumbles, the clashes and the creative partnerships that produced these films, Mark Harris captures both the twilight of old Hollywood and the dawn of a new golden age in studio filmmaking. Based on unprecedented access to the actors, directors, screenwriters, producers and executives whose movies defined the era, as well a wealth of previously unexplored archival material, "Pictures at a Revolution" is an utterly original, reve |

From the psychotic delights of The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Mad Max, cult films have broken every rule and challenged every moviegoer’s perception. • Stars who are cult in one movie may be definitely not in another; people ignored in their own time can become cult heroes after their death. Movies gain cult status for a weird and wonderful array of reasons—for the iconic acting of stars such as John Belushi and Holly Hunter, or because of a series of bizarre, amusing, or macabre incidences. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! became a cult favorite for its satire of Hollywood horror movies and topical concerns of America |
