Remember that shower scene with the screaming lady and the killer with the knife?

What was that movie where the guy said, "Play it again, Sam"?

Do you remember that really scary movie where the shark eats people and the music is super creepy? Ever wanted to answer these questions? If so, this is the book for you. With black and white screen shots, famous quotes, and some little-known information about some of the world''s most classic movies from the 1930's to 1990's, this book is packed full of information.

Opinion: 

While this book is informative, humorous, well put together, and has amazing fun facts; it has one major drawback. The endings for every single movie listed in this book are given away. Right there in black and white! Some of the movies mentioned in this book I''m not interested in seeing or have already seen, so knowing the endings for those wasn''t a big deal. But knowing the endings of the movies I still want to see was a HUGE disappointment.

The movies in this book include (but are certainly not limited to) "Jaws", "Psycho", "Some Like it Hot", "Godfather", and "Silence of the Lambs".
