By "Cinema Classics", the author obviously means Hollywood movies of the 1930s and 1940s. Too many to list all 150 of them, so here are the titles of just those that are illustrated with reproductions of original theater posters: Algiers, My Gal Sal, All That Money Can Buy, The Best Years of Our Lives, Sullivan's Travels, Anna and the King of Siam, Pinocchio, I Wanted Wings, Five Graves to Cairo, Dixiana, Rebecca, Suspicion, Blood and Sand, The Razor's Edge, The Ghost and Mrs Muir, Dinner at Eight. All films come with complete cast and technicals credits, release dates and other background information, plus comprehensive reviews. Many of these movies are now available on DVD.

all fans of classic and vintage movies.

the detailed credits and reviews.

the fact that only 150 films spread over 268 large-format pages are included. Perhaps it would have been better to cover say 250 movies by allowing each movie to have just one page. This of course would mean condensing the credits and other information (as well as the reviews) considerably.

see many of the movies discussed in the book.

glad that many of the movies in the book are still available for people like me to see and enjoy again and again.
