150 Timeless Movies
Susan Granger grew up in Hollywood; her father was director/producer S. Sylvan Simon. After his untimely death at 41 while filming From Here to Eternity, her mother remarried. Susan’s stepfather was M-G-M producer Armand Deutsch. Granger got her journalism degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She has been reviewing movies for more than 25 years and is the reviewer for Video Librarian magazine as well as for her movie site, www.susangranger.com.
150 Timeless Movies is a must-have for every serious film fan. It is a choice collection of 150 movie reviews of classic and contemporary timeless movies. It includes films from the earliest days to today, from Battleship Potemkin (1925) and Gone with the Wind (1939) to Bridge of Spies (2015) and Zootopia (2016). The book includes reviews reprinted from Granger’s popular website, www.susangranger.com, as well as more than two dozen new reviews of English language classics and foreign language films to discover and an original introduction about what makes a movie memorable and timeless by Granger. As Jill Schary Robinson writes in her Foreword, this book is “like settling in for a remarkable evening at the movies with your best and smartest friend.” I’m eagerly planning to watch/rewatch every movie on this list!
