Title: So Many Movies!
Review: While the book covers the classics from the past 50 years, like The Godfather and ET, it also has boatloads of descriptive lists with a bunch of movies I've never seen. Plus it's written in that fun Mental Floss way and is filled with their quirky facts. Love this series!
