"Have You Seen...?" by David Thomson

A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films

A compact, opinionated guide to one thousand films made up of brief, vivid essays that mix plot summary, critical appraisal, anecdote and personal memory; entries range from well-known classics to obscure curiosities, and the conversational, often idiosyncratic voice favors emotional truth and unexpected connections over scholarly analysis. Designed for browsing rather than systematic study, it serves as a lively companion for cinephiles seeking recommendations, surprises and a personal map of cinematic experience.
