Summary: "The Ultimate Film is the definitive list of the UK's all-time top 100 films based on cinema admissions. From the 1930s to today, the book charts the diverse tastes that make up Britain's film favourites. Each film is looked at in turn. What did the critics, think of it when it was released and, with the benefit of hindsight, were they right? Who is featured in front of and behind the camera? Did popular success always go together with critical acclaim and Oscar nominations? And what was it about these films that struck a chord with cinemagoers? The product of extensive research by the British Film Institute, this list, the first ever to be based on cinema admissions, is sure to provoke much debate and discussion. The Ultimate Film is a reflection of our culture and attitudes, and the part that cinemagoing has played in shaping the way we are today. The Ultimate Film contains a number of breakout sections - lists within a list to satisfy the most ardent film buff."--BOOK JACKET.
