A wide-ranging DVD guide beyond the current blockbuster cycle
This 512-page reference gathers updated coverage of 500 films available on DVD, concentrating on titles presented as obscure, overlooked, or forgotten. Its scope moves across film noir, documentaries, dramas, Westerns, animation, comedies, foreign-language cinema, and selected television shows, making it useful as a browsing guide rather than a single-genre survey. Alongside the individual film entries, the book includes top-ten selections from its contributing critics and an introduction by A. O. Scott. The range of examples—from Waiting for Guffman and Happy, Texas to Belle Epoque—signals an eclectic mix of independent, international, and genre filmmaking.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Film fans seeking DVD-era discovery beyond recent Hollywood releases
- Browsers interested in international cinema, documentaries, and varied film genres
- Collectors who enjoy reference guides with critic-selected film entries
