One of the main reasons that movies are so popular and make up part of our culture, is because of the audience’s intense connection to them. They are instantly relatable, especially the Hollywood blockbusters that we all know and love like Star Wars, The Godfather, Jaws, The Dark Knight, and many more. Looking at Movies: Sixth Edition by Dave Monahan looks at the best films ever made in history. And provides behind-the-scenes information on how they were made and what went into making them a reality.

Reviews About “Looking at Movies Sixth Edition”
This book will be a good supplement for an introductory film class. It does well at taking examples from films to illustrate its main points. And it is thorough in trying to explain its topic(s). In terms of organization, I think that there are two potential issues. First, it is not explicitly divided into units (i.e., chapters). Second, each section could probably stand on its own more since they all cover very different things. Overall though, if someone were looking for a supplement book to an introductory film class. I would recommend looking into getting Monahan’s work as it would most likely be a helpful addition to their course materials
