| Jimmy Stewart - The Truth behind the Legend
|
Michael Munn 150:-
Many stars of the silver screen in twentieth-century Hollywood became national icons, larger-than-life figures held up as paragons of American virtues.
James Maitland Stewart was highly decorated for his bravery as a bomber pilot during World War II and was adored for his earnest and kindly persona. But there was much more to the man. In this biography, the many sides of Stewart are revealed: his explosive temper, his complex love affairs and his longstanding marriage, his service as an FBI agent, his innate shyness, and his passionate patriotism.

| Stanley Kubrick - A Life in Pictures
|
Christiane Kubrick 125:-
'Stanley Kubrick was the grandmaster of film making', says Steven Spielberg in his Foreword to this lavishly illustrated celebration of the legendary film director. 'He copied no one while all of us were scrambling to imitate him'.
The variety of his work - a mere 13 features since 1953 - is astonishing; the powerful Great War movie PATHS OF GLORY; the multistar epic SPARTACUS; the black humour of LOLITA; the nightmarish satire of DR STRANGELOVE; the serene visual beauty of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY; the violent expression of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE; Jack Nicholson in THE SHINING; FULL METAL JACKET; EYES WIDE SHUT and finally the posthumous production of A.I (Artificial Intelligence) directed by Spielberg in 2001. Kubrick's monument is his movies, and this book is a vibrant equivalent to them.

| Woody Allen: Fun with Woody
|
Graham Flashner 50:-
Screenwriter Flashner uses a Q & A format to test readers' knowledge of the "funniest lines and scenes from Woody's films, plays, books and nightclub routines, as well as behind-the-scenes production notes." The more than 500 questions are difficult and include, for example, "For all of Woody's New York filming, he only rides the subway once . . . and is terrorized. In which movie does he ride?"
