Jeremy Arnold’s book The Essentials: 52 Must-See Movies and Why They Matter is marvelous. Like the movies it features, it is essential for any fan or student of classic cinema. It is essential for offering new and exciting insights into the films chosen, for devising and using an inviting format for their discussion, and for being a book that will require rereading when the chance arises to see the films (most likely on the Turner Classic Movies channel).Arnold’s book is beautifully produced on fine paper with front and back covers invitingly composed. Before even opening the book, the reader can have some fun trying to identify the performers pictured, as well as the particular Essential film in which they appeared that is discussed, of course, in the book. The photo on the back cover should provide no trouble for anyone not living in a cave for the last 40 years.This book is graced with a foreword by Robert Osbourne, who is, of course, the longtime and still principal host of Turner Classic Movies, who has been part of the TCM landscape since the beginning, i.e., 1994, when he was on the stage with Ted Turner and other notables to launch this essential channel. Osbourne’s foreword points out, among other tidbits, that the 52 films featured in this book were chosen from among the nearly 300 films that have been shown as part of the series since its debut in 2001. So, I guess these 52 are the “most essential†of the Essentials.As a simple but important stroke of genius, Arnold presents the 52 films in chronological order, beginning with Metropolis released in 1927 to Spinal Tap in 1984. Thus, we are treated to a panoply of films extending from near the end of the silent era through the Golden Age of Hollywood (and places elsewhere in the world) to the time of the “summer blockbuster†and beyond to a point now more than three decades ago.Since I am a loyal fan of TCM, I have seen all of the films featured in the book, except, somehow, for the last one, the “mockumentary†Spinal Tap. I am old enough to have seen some of these films for the first time in the original theatre release and others on TCM. The first I recall seeing in the theatre was The Third Man, released in 1949, when I was nine years old. Why I have that recollection is because I remember being bored stiff by this dark, convoluted drama playing out in the streets of post-war Vienna. I have a different opinion today.The films featured in this book were released over a span of 57 years. The decades most represented are the 1940s (14 films) and the 1950s (14), followed by the 1930s (11), which is perhaps understandable, since these are generally thought of as the decades comprising the Golden Age of Hollywood. Only eight films from the 1960s are included and three from the 1970s, with one each from the 1920s and the 1980s. The year most represented among the 57 covered is 1950, with four selections (Winchester ’73, Sunset Boulevard, Gun Crazy, and All About Eve). Interestingly, it is 1950 and not 1939 that is best represented, inasmuch as the latter year is often thought to represent the pinnacle of film achievement; only Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Gone With the Wind from the latter year are discussed.As one might imagine, most of the films were made by U.S. companies, but a few were done by foreign companies, including Metropolis (Germany), The Red Shoes (Britain), The Bicycle Thief (Italy), The Third Man (Britain), Seven Samurai (Japan), and Breathless (France). The U.S. companies best represented are United Artists, MGM, Universal, Paramount, Warner Bros., RKO, Columbia, and 20th Century Fox, all of great importance in contributing to the film medium as an art form. A long string of notable film directors was involved in making these films. I tried to guess as I was listing them who would be the standouts, but I was able to guess only two of the four directors with two or more films among the Essentials. The standout directors, which might not be much of a surprise, are Billy Wilder, with three films featured (Double Indemnity, Sunset Blvd., and Some Like It Hot), and William Wyler, with the same number (The Best Years of our Life, Roman Holiday, and Ben-Hur). Frank Capra and Alfred Hitchcock are the runners-up, with two films each. The remainder of the directors made it onto the list on the strength of one film each, and in two cases as co-directors. The actors and actresses at the tops of the cast lists for these films perhaps should be more familiar to classic movie fans than even the directors. Most of the performers appear only once at the top of the cast, but there are four that appear twice, Clark Gable (for It Happened One Night and Gone With the Wind), Betty Davis (for Now, Voyager and All About Eve), James Stewart (for Winchester ’73 and Rear Window), and Gregory Peck (for Roman Holiday and To Kill a Mockingbird).The author Jeremy Arnold devised an inviting format for the discussion of each film. The first page lists the film title, the company that released it, the year of its release, its director, producer, screenplay authos, and cast list. A capsule statement of its plot is presented and either a poster or some shots of cast members. The longest portion of each chapter involves a discussion of “Why It’s Essential,†These sections comprise the centerpiece of the book; they are what allow Jeremy Arnold to show off his stuff. No matter how much the reader thinks he or she knows about a given film, there will be something in each one of these evaluations that will be new and interesting. In addition, each chapter offers a short assessment by Robert Osbourne and a few comments by whomever joined Osbourne during the telecast of the films included. Finally, each chapter concludes with information on ‘What to Look For,†which obviously should be read before any viewing or reviewing of the film in question.I highly recommend this book to readers with an interest in classic films and suggest that it be kept within reach near the television set. Even better, I suggest that the reader check the TCM website and compile a schedule for the next showing of the 52 films covered in this amazingly informative and entertaining book.
If you love movies you will adore this book! Anything with Hollywood films produced by Turner Classic Movies is sure to be well done and informative. The book features an introduction by Robert Osborne the late host of TCM. The author is Jeremy Arnold and the pages fly by as the movie fan remembers the great films chronicled in this 287 page visual delight of a tome1 Each film included deals with why Arnold considers the movie to be an essential. A trivia section on interesting aspects of the film and the actors involved in the production and quotes about the movie from notable persons in the film industry. Movies are included from Metropolis the silent dystopian film by German director Fritz Lang to This is Spinal Tap released in 1984. Such classics as City Lights; All Quiet on the Western Front; Citizen Kane' Rear Window; Gone With the Wind; The Lady Eve; Rocky; Annie Hall; Lawrence of Arabia; Casablanca; Out of the Past; Double Indemnity and other greats are among the 52 films covered in the book. Glorious color and black and white photos from the movies are a joy to behold. A fun and easy read to be enjoyed by film fans of all ages! Good going TCM!
I've ordered two of these books. I am a classic film lover and a TCM fan. What could make a better combination for me? Turner Classic Movies decided which movies would be part of their 15 year series "The Essentials". A movie a week has been suggested for the old fan or an introduction for the person exploring the classics for the first time (like my DILs). We are told why each film was selected and what to look for (helpful for me because I would never be considered a film historian). The pictures alone (Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas together💓) would be enough reason to buy this book.
The Essentials is a delight to read and a handsome volume to look at as well. The text manages the very difficult feat of balancing erudition, accessibility and wit. The author obviously knows his subject matter well but "wears his scholarship lightly": the book is like an invitation to come along with the author on a trip of discovery--and it's a great trip! The movies chosen are both "big" pictures and small ones, ones well-known and others one might overlook. The illustrations are well chosen, beautifully reproduced and compliment the sparkling writing. Nice work!
This book is everything reviews said it would be. I have enjoyed all but three of The Essentials movies many times, so I will be looking for those missing three as I receive my monthly issues of TCM guide. Although I have just started reading the in-depth particulars of each movie, this book promises to be a great addition to my other film-related books. The book arrived in prime condition, just as all Amazon items have in the past. Thank you Amazon!
We're I to write a book about the 52 essential movies made I doubt it would have a better selection. The CGI crowd that have never seen anything before the early 2000's might disagree though. There loss though, for being a prisoner of the times. Just as I don't follow all the modern technology, they don't embrace the prior century of the motion picture industry. Maybe it's the B&W classics, lack of blowing something up every few minutes or gratuitous nudity.I especially like the commentary of the late Robert Osborne. His knowledge of film and what makes a classic would have been, in my opinion, the Bible on essentials.
This book is very informative regarding movies. In this book are 52 movies that are essential to watch. I have watched most of these movies throughout my life time but there are plenty I haven't seen. I recommend this book and know that you could have a different movie every week of the year.
