A useful guide to a lot of good movies (and some way overhyped movies). The narrator is a little pretentious and makes some really audacious claims, but did make me think a lot a what decisions are going on behind the scenes of movies. The main theme is camera angle and photography and the movie only gives brief praise to things like performance, sound design, sets, costumes, writing, or a myriad of other elements that have gone into and evolved with movies.
