Since I learned to read letters, and that was quite long time ago, I fell in love with movies and books. Not a day passes without a page of some book read -- a day without a movie is possible though, I haven't so much time at hand as I used to have when I was student.
I like immensely to travel too, but as that passion of mine is hardly possible to fulfill every year, I satisfy myself with those at hand, and those are well, you know, books and movies. A combination of both would be perfect and here I'll try to reflect on those - books and their adaptations, never mind the time, the form and the language in which they were made.
Of course it is impossible to select the best movies of the 20th century to suit everyone's tastes, but those that are selected here in this book, the mere 84 of them, are impeccable. The photographs and essays that accompany each of them are also very good so I think this would be nice gift if not to yourself then to some other movie buff.
