Americas Film Legacy 20092010 A Viewers Guide To The 50 Landmark Movies Added To The National Film Registry In 20092010

the long version

This volume is a guide to the most significant films ever made in the United States, specifically the 50 added to the National Film Registry during 2009-2010. Each film has a complete cast and credit list along with an entertaining and often provocative essay by Eagan in which the film isn't described in detail but rather is placed "in context" to show "how they may have been inspired by earlier films, how they compare to other movies of their time, and how they may have affected movies to come." This is for anyone who loves American movies and who wants to learn more about them.
