    A great start to a young film lover's career….
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016*

When I picked up this book, I had the knowledge of a typical Chris Stuckmann movie review.  An interesting juxtaposition of quick, to the point, yet sharp, thorough and informative.  This book provides us readers fifty movie recommendations from 2000-2015 in this style, and it's more than effective, it's immersive.After you read the forward and recommendation quotes plastered on the cover and on the inside, you get to Chris telling his life story on how he got involved with films.  Everyone has that one moment in their lives where something or someone inspired him or her to do something with their lives.  Seeing SIGNS in the theater was Chris', at a young age, setting the foundation for the remainder of his life as he strives to work in the film industry.  This is relatable to all of us trying to achieve our dreams, in whatever field we chose to indulge in.  And that is exactly why this book is so good; it's relatable to us.  It's not some pompous, 'I am right and you are wrong,' this is a list of fifty films to see, not in an order of last place fifty to NUMBER ONE BEST, but casually listing them chronologically in order to relax the reader.Every-time I would read one of his witty sentences where he explains his thoughts on a film (usually films he says are overlooked) I would say to myself, “You know what, he's right.”Heck, his paragraphs are so persuasive, I want to watch a couple films from a genre I usually dislike (Anime) or re-watch films to catch tidbits and trivia Chris throws at us, like Leo's wedding ring in “Inception”.  Info like this gives the book some nice heart, and gives the book higher re-read value.With all of this obtained knowledge and love for the industry, it seems Chris has this 'movies' thing down, and I can't wait to see what he does next.A great start to a young film lover's career….

As far as it goes, I'm relatively new to Chris Stuckmann's work. I first was introduced to him several months ago through his "The Problem With Horror Movies Today" video, and ever since, I've been Stuckmannized. His ability to analyze film both objectively and subjectively while making it entertaining to listen is remarkable, and even when I disagree with Chris's opinion on a movie, I can't help but respect him anyway. What really sets Chris apart from other critics, however, is he is incredibly likable, and over his career he has remained as human and down to Earth as when he started.As for the book itself, it's exactly what it should be, and more. Chris's picks are arranged in a chronological order beginning in 2000, and each movie has two pages dedicated to it. On one page, you have a minimalist-esque illustration of something that represents the film in question (highly reminiscent of the "Famous Objects From Movies" flash game), and on the other some quick facts about the film followed by Chris's general overview of the film, his thoughts on it, and how it may have impacted him personally. Luckily, he is able to carry over the same quality of his video reviews to a written format, even with the restriction to just a single page.Reading through the book, I found myself agreeing highly with many of his picks, although I must admit Signs (2002) took me a bit by surprise. For a film that has held a fairly mixed reception even to this day, and has been the target of high criticism by video-makers such as The Nostalgia Critic (who Chris knows and has worked with), it seems to stick out among films such as The Dark Knight and Spirited Away. It even is given the honor by Chris as the film that launched his passion for film. However, it's exactly because of this that I respect him so much. He's not afraid to say his honest opinion, and because of that, many may disagree with some of the titles that appear in this book and express that here in the form of a review. I say, screw 'em.Highly recommended to anyone who cares for the art of film and wants to support a great film critic.

    A thoughtful read for any movie fan!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2016*

When you read the prologue by Chris you definitely know he's absolutely in love with cinema. As I read through his passionate story about his childhood I felt so happy that someone like Chris had the opportunity to finally publish his own material. Just like Chris my admiration for movies and storytelling began at a young age with one singular movie. Because of Chris and his personal story I also feel the need to reveal when I started to appreciate cinema as well.When I was five years old my best friend which happened to be my cousin, his mother and another relative suddenly died in a house fire. I was emotionally devastated, I secluded myself to my room for the most part. I just watched movies every waking second of my free time. Then I watched the movie that changed my life and something that truly helped me understand death a little more. That movie would be Gojira. It dealt with death and fire, they were interconnected. One scene in-particular moved me, huddled in a corner a mother holding her children in her arms, were slowly awaiting to be engulfed by the flames and perish. This happens to be exactly how my family died that day. I instantly connected to the movie on a personal level. To me, this sparked my curiosity in cinema and eventually Chris's in depth opinions on movies.Chris and his Youtube content is phenomenal to say the least! He introduced me to my favorite director (Nicolas Winding Refn) and to many more. His book does the exact same. Page after page I found movies that I was fairly familiar with but never gave them a chance because of my own preconceived notions.  The descriptions for the most part make me want to give a chance on every single movie that I haven't seen ( especially Caché (Hidden)!Even though I wish some descriptions were a bit longer than half a page (and I do realize this was done probably on purpose in order to not spoil the experience), this was overall an informative and engaging read. I especially enjoy the "My Bucket List" in the back of the book so I can keep track of what I have seen and rated them. I currently have 30 movies rated and I have the last 20 already in my Netflix instant queue! I'm glad to have this book be my first ever Amazon review!
