The Great Movies

Publication

The Great Movies is the name of several publications, both online and in print, from Roger Ebert, the American film critic and columnist for The Chicago Sun-Times. The object was, as Ebert put it, to "make a tour of the landmarks of the first century of cinema",[1] by writing essays on films Ebert considered particularly well-made, important or influential.

"One of the gifts a movie lover can give another is the title of a wonderful film they have not yet discovered. Here are more than 300 reconsiderations and appreciations of movies from the distant past to the recent past, all of movies that I consider worthy of being called 'great.'" — Roger Ebert

The Great Movies was published as four books:

  • The Great Movies, published in November 2003 (544 pages, Three Rivers Press, ISBN 978-0767910385)
  • The Great Movies II published in February 2006 (517 pages, Three Rivers Press, ISBN 978-0767919869)
