Movie adaptations across all genres exist, and that includes YA Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, and Logan Lerman lead this coming-of-age drama about a shy teenager experiencing the many highs and lows of freshman year of high school. First published in 1988, and thus the only one of my choices not first published in the 1960s (showing my age).

This was my first exposure to the complexity, provocation and sometimes perversity of this French critic, a champion of cinephilic promiscuity and a brilliant expander of small, seemingly inconspicuous details into troubling symptoms. Few people have done so much to revive interest in silent cinema and none has written so well about it as Brownlow. Wood’s patient, unpedantic, exegetical prose remains for me the permanent model of how to do these things.James Baldwin's 1974 novel If Beale Street Could Talk, about a young woman trying to clear the name of her boyfriend after he was wrongfully accused of a crime in New York, is an incredible read. No matter what your film tastes might be, we hope you enjoy these books–preferably with a big bowl of popcorn!

This updated version covers the best films and directors of the last 10 years, along with new discoveries in the history of cinema since the last edition from 2011. I’m sure some future scholar will produce an admirable thesis comparing the changes in – and evolution of – what has come to be, along with everything else, a vicarious and incremental autobiography. The most candid and complete account of a film, and a famous disaster – which looks better every time you see it. This book is among the key chronicles of the 1960s and ’70s revolutions in cinema and film criticism. This may be a poor translation of Bazin, inadequately edited, but it was my generation’s first contact with cinema’s greatest post-war critic-philosopher and the godfather of the French New Wave.
