Let The Meyer Buyer Beware!
Anyone expecting a definitive biography of the life and work of the Sultan of Sexploitation be warned -- this is anything but a biography! Instead, it is a BIBliography of newspaper and magazine articles having anything remotely to do with the auteur, his campy cinema classics and the ridiculously endowed women who graced them with their wildly varying acting abilities but always welcome ...

McFarland & Company, 2005

A Fantastic Read!
Mark Berry's 'The Dinosaur Filmography' is one of the most enjoyable books I've read in some time. It is meticulously researched and extremely thorough. It is also engaging in its analysis, which is often accompanied with first hand anecdotes from some giants of the dino-film industry. It is the kind of book I dreamed about having when I was a kid. Every dinosaur movie I've ever heard of, and ...

More than a laundry list - Real Film Scholarship
Exhaustive without being exhausting, authors Miller and Johnson manage to transcend the trend of "lists" by not only providing the details of Christopher Lee's myriad film works, but accompanying the facts with delicious anecdotes and observations. Each and every film has an accompanying commentary - and each and every commentary is a treasure trove of information either from Lee himself or one ...

An amazingly detailed and comprehensive guide to John Wayne's films. If you're a Wayne (or film fan) this is a must for your collection. Mr. Landesman has outdone himself with the amount of previously unavailable information in this book. Hope to see more from this informative author.

After a main filmography covering 558 Spaghetti Westerns, another section provides filmographies of personnel-actors and actresses, directors, musical composers, scriptwriters, cinematographers. Appendices provide lists of the popular ...

Jon Solomon

Comedy III Productions Inc, 2002

Truly Complete, Accurate and Absorbing Read
I must tell you that I am somewhat biased toward the subject matter of The Complete Three Stooges as I am Larry Fine's eldest grandchild. I also worked with them in my youth. Having intimate knowledge of The Three Stooges both personally and professionally, I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy and detail brought to this filmography by Dr. Solomon. As a family member I think all Three ...

Richard J. Maturi, Mary Buckingham Maturi

McFarland & Company, 2000

Over the course of film history, many actresses have been dubbed "queens" of the "silver screen." Yet the first actress to be called the "Queen of the Movies" has been all but forgotten by modern filmgoers. Beverly Pearl Bayne skyrocketed to film success as a high school student in 1912. Within a matter of months, she was costarring with some of Hollywood's leading men, and in 1915, she and her perennial costar Francis X. Bushman were crowned ...

Animation Bible
There are reviews pointing out that this book missed a few films but what it does include makes it one of the most detailed book on stop motion animation films. I grew up on Harryhausen, Danforth and the like ( I am a director/producer and originally wanted to be a stop motion animator) so this book is not only informative but nostalgic. Great resource.
