David Thomson's'Have You Seen?' - A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Filmsis a quirky, idiosyncratic and hugely entertaining look at a century of cinema.

This is veteran film writer David Thomson's personal, irreverent, hilarious and utterly original take on the 1,000 films he has most loved - and hated - fromAbbott and Costello Meet FrankensteintoZabriskie Point, from esteemed classics to forgotten curiosities, guilty pleasures to noir treats, horror gems to kitsch disasters. The result is probably the most enjoyable film book you will ever read (and you'll never think aboutThe Sound of Musicin the same way again).
