Testamonials

"Oh! What a wonderful list. Bill Newcott's top 100 makes you want to curl up with a stack of DVD's and revisit Hollywood's best." — Arch Campbell, Broadcast Film Critics Association, 12-time Emmy winner and Critic at Large for WNEW-FM
"Bill Newcott's 100 Must-See Movies For Grown Ups is a treasure trove of sterling and often delightfully offbeat recommendations for discerning moviegoers, from the beginnings of film right up the present. Newcott's light-fingered mini-reviews are models of the form. I read through this book in a state of rapt happiness as I recalled all the riches Newcott describes so well." — Peter Rainer, author of Rainer on Film: Thirty Years of Film Writing in a Turbulent and Transformative Era, film critic for the Christian Science Monitor and former chairman of the National Society of Film Critics Featured AARP Member Benefits See more Entertainment offers > See more Entertainment offers > See more Entertainment offers > See more Entertainment offers > Cancel You are leaving AARP.org and going to the website of our trusted provider.
