Long established as the first and last word in movie-going
information, Halliwell's - The Movies That Matter
(HarperCollinsUK), edited by David Gritten, promises to be as
cutting edge as it is wide-ranging. And as always, it’s a
promise that Halliwell’s guarantees to deliver. These are the
movies that have created a benchmark – the 3,000 films that
stand out through more than seven decades of movie making. From
the black and white classics of the pre-War years, through the
golden period of the seventies and eighties to the
genre-breaking films of the 21st Century, these are the movies
that matter.
This beautifully designed, perennially entertaining and
indispensable guide includes plot synopses and evaluations,
plus reader-friendly icons denoting films suitable for family
viewing, Academy Award winners and nominees, and lists of best
films by genre. Brand new to Halliwell’s, editor David Gritten
will introduce a series of features on topical issues, ranging
from actor and actress profiles, the rise of the family movie
and video-on-demand through to the glitz and glamour of film
festivals, what’s hot in the current film industry and a look
ahead to what the forthcoming cinematic year will
bring.
'I just wish I could be as concise, accurate, well balanced and
full of love for the movies as Halliwell’s manages to be year
after year.' Simon Bates, Classic FM, Christmas 2005
