Every few years the lists roll out, and it’s always the usual suspects: Gone with the Wind. The Godfather. Casablanca. The Best Movies of All Time duly signed, sealed and certified by a hundred hopelessly nostalgic film critics. Now, these films are truly great. But ask someone on the street about their favorite movie. They’re just as likely to come out with When Harry Met Sally, Clueless or Caddyshack. The FlickHeads' Guide is what you want from that witty film-freak friend –the one who digs Metropolis but isn’t ashamed to admit he has a soft spot for Julia Roberts’ early work.
The FlickHeads are those friends, and they’ve gotten together to write the definitive hip movie-guide. It’s a book for people who would never think of buying Roger Ebert or Leonard Maltin’s doorstops, but who regularly consult the wit and brio of aintitcoolnews.com, salon.com or the latest hip blogs. It’s an engaging, idiosyncratic movie guide that treats the highbrow and the lowbrow with equal irreverence and, above all, never takes itself too seriously.
