Fans of offbeat cinema, discriminating renters and collectors, and movie buffs will drool over this checklist of the best overlooked and underappreciated films of the last hundred years. In Son of the 100 Best Movies You’ve Never Seen, Richard Crouse, Canada AM film critic and host of television’s award-winning Reel to Real, presents a follow-up to his 2003 book with another hundred of his favorite films.
Titles range from the obscure, like 1912’s The Cameraman’s Revenge, to El Topo’s unusual existential remake of the classic western, and little-seen classics like The Killing. Each essay features a detailed description of plot, notable trivia tidbits, critical reviews, and interviews with actors and filmmakers. Featured interviews include Billy Bob Thornton on an inspirational movie about a man with his head in the clouds, Francis Ford Coppola on One from the Heart, and Mario Van Peebles on playing his own father in Badasssss!
Sidebars feature quirky details, including legal disclaimers and memorable quotes, along with movie picks from A-list actors and directors.

Title: A Second Helping of Little-Seen Flicks!
Review: Movie critic Richard Crouse offers up a second helping of films that, for one reason or another, slipped below the cinematic radar screen. While many of the flicks covered in SON OF THE 100 BEST MOVIES YOU'VE NEVER SEEN will never make a "Best Of" list, they are interesting in their own right.Among the gems featured in Crouse's book are 'F is for Fake,' 'Boom,' 'Martin,' 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' 'Twentieth Century,' 'Fantastic Voyage,' 'Seven Thieves,' 'The Roaring Twenties,' 'Performance,' 'The Killing,' 'El Topo,' 'One from the Heart,' 'Hearts of the West,' 'Bloody Mama,' 'The Rebel,' 'The Duellists,' 'Ace in the Hole' and even 'Evil Roy Slade,' a TV movie.Each flick gets a write-up ranging from 1 1/2 to 4 pages detailing the movie's history, critical and box-office response, etc. Interspersed between the movie critiques are sidebars on Course's favorite actors turned singers, favorite big bug movies, favorite casting stories, etc. along with 'My favorite movie you've never seen' selections from John Sayles, Stuart Gordon, Albert Maysles and others.Movie buffs should enjoy Crouse's insightful, entertaining romp through some of the silver screen's forgotten gems. Recommended.
