1001 -- a Video Odyssey - Steve Tatham

This is the must-have video guide for anyone searching for the perfect movie to rent (or buy). No more standing around the video store feeling foolish! This entertaining and often hilarious guide points you toward movies you absolutely need to see, movies you may have missed and movies you never had any intention of watching, all cleverly organised and grouped by the politically correct -- and not so correct -- moods they inspire. Written with wit, attitude and more than a slight touch of sarcasm, this book contains capsule reviews of over 1000 movies in one hundred categories reflecting every mood, emotion, sentiment, attitude, and seasonal holiday. For each entry, the author list the titles, rating, key cast members, DVD availability and commentary with a wicked sense of humour. Unlike many rival video guides, this book includes junk food suggestions that have been specifically selected for each category, as well as a collection of off-beat quotes and dialogue.
