The Best of The Best

For four decades, fans have turned to Roger Ebert for advice on movies. He has become the leading resource for moviegoers and the most recognizable critic in the field of cinema.

With Roger Ebert's Four-Star Reviews 1967-2007 (Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC, $24.95), longtime fans as well as casual movie patrons will be able to find films they love.

Roger provides insight and observations based on years of experience. His reviews offer fresh and unique perspectives on classic films that are close to his heart, including:

The Departed (Martin Scorsese, 2006): "This movie is like an examination of conscience, when you stay up all night trying to figure out a way to tell the priest: I know I done wrong, but, oh, Father, what else was I gonna do?"

Schindler's List (Steven Spielberg, 1993): "In this movie, the best he has ever made, Spielberg treats the fact of the Holocaust and the miracle of Schindler's feat without the easy formulas of fiction."

National Lampoon's Animal House (John Landis, 1978): "It's anarchic, messy, and filled with energy."

Star Wars (George Lucas, 1977): "The movie taps the pulp fantasies buried in our memories, and because it's done so brilliantly, it reactivates old thrills, fears, and exhilarations we thought we'd abandoned."
