As Ebert noted in the introduction to the first collection of those pieces, \"They are not \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e greatest films of all time, because all lists of great movies are a foolish attempt to codify works which must stand alone. But it's fair to say: If you want to take a tour of the landmarks of the first century of cinema, start here. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnter \u003ci\u003eThe Great Movies III\u003c\/i\u003e, Ebert's third collection of essays on the crème de la crème of the silver screen, each one a model of critical appreciation and a blend of love and analysis that will send readers back to the films with a fresh set of eyes and renewed enthusiasm--or maybe even lead to a first-time viewing.

Each essay draws on Ebert's vast knowledge of the cinema, its fascinating history, and its breadth of techniques, introducing newcomers to some of the most exceptional movies ever made, while revealing new insights to connoisseurs as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNamed the most powerful pundit in America by \u003ci\u003eForbes\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Roger Ebert is inarguably the most prominent and influential authority on the cinema today. \u003ci\u003eThe Great Movies III\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to please his many fans and further enhance his reputation as America's most respected--and trusted--film critic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Ebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226182088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226182087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.65h x 6.48w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2010 pg. 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2010 pg. 13","brand":"Roger Ebert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086395453695,"sku":"9780226182087","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59c930a9-67dd-413c-b735-f55aed8dd43f.jpg?v=1769094435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-movies-iii-roger-ebert-9780226182087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
