Director, producer, screenwriter, author, actor, and film critic, Peter Bogdanovich knows movies. Now, in this unique book, he shares his passion with a connaisseur’s insight and delight by inviting the reader to join him for a year at the movies – fifty-two weeks, fifty-two films, fifty-two reasons to watch.

With recommendations specific to the seasons and holidays – from sparkling comedies, timeless musicals, landmark foreign films, and powerful dramas and thrillers to legendary masterpieces and neglected treasures – Bogdanovich’s eclectic cinematic calendar of classics, each available on video, each accompanied by an illuminating essay, and each followed by a list of tie-in recommendations, makes the perfect date for movie lovers every week of the year.
