I'd rather have the book as I've looked at other editions and they're just fun to read.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-51933910715633040992013-08-29T20:43:56.857-07:002013-08-29T20:43:56.857-07:00@Steve - The 2013 edition of that book is coming o...@Steve - The 2013 edition of that book is coming out October 1. It will feature 50 new films in it, according to Amazon. One caution - most of the descriptions in the book contain spoilers for the films.<br /><br />If you would like the entire list now, not just the 1,001 that will be in the latest edition, you can view/download a tracking sheet at my Lists from Chip site: http://www.listsfromchip.blogspot.com/2012/05/1001-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die.html<br /><br />It contains all 1,103 films that have been in all editions since the first in 2003.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-25901159945946352082013-08-29T12:21:16.446-07:002013-08-29T12:21:16.446-07:00@Chip Lary-I really enjoy it as a whole as I hope ...@Chip Lary-I really enjoy it as a whole as I hope to see <i>A Short Film About Killing</i> and <i>A Short Film About Love</i> very soon. I really need to get the most recent volume of <i>1001 Films You Need to See Before You Die</i>. It would help get a chance to pick out what films to see and make it a challenge.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-76276126616832291622013-08-29T11:17:15.911-07:002013-08-29T11:17:15.911-07:00I watched this in early July as my last entry to c...I watched this in early July as my last entry to complete the 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. I felt some episodes were very good, while others were just okay.<br /><br />My favorite episode was Thou Shalt Not Steal, followed by Honor Your Father and Mother, Do Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor, and Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-37730550763233947502013-08-23T12:20:26.364-07:002013-08-23T12:20:26.364-07:00@Chris-I had a great time watching it spend a day ...@Chris-I had a great time watching it spend a day watching one or two episodes and also just try to divulge everything that is happening.

It's so hard to pick a favorite, better for me to just accept them all as a great, organic series. Loved your analysis of each segment.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-6596181832999078012013-08-18T00:50:05.178-07:002013-08-18T00:50:05.178-07:00Glad you liked it!

Probably my favorite mini-series of all-time. 5 and 6 are visually very cinematic, so not surprising were turned into feature length films.<br />Like you say, it does a good job of creating a mood for each episode.<br />I think people have different favorites from the series,depending on what they bring to it from their own life.<br />I wrote about each episode in my "Film reviews" section, if you want to read in detail what I thought.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.com
