David Thomson's 'Have You Seen?' - A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films is a quirky, idiosyncratic and hugely entertaining look at a century of cinema.
This is veteran film writer David Thomson's personal, irreverent, hilarious and utterly original take on the 1,000 films he has most loved - and hated - from Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein to Zabriskie Point, from esteemed classics to forgotten curiosities, guilty pleasures to noir treats, horror gems to kitsch disasters. The result is probably the most enjoyable film book you will ever read (and you'll never think about The Sound of Music in the same way again).

Financial Times
'Every reader's simple instinct will be to plunge into the heart of it'
Sunday Times
'A dazzlingly authoritative treat ... crammed with insight and epigram'
Observer
'Eccentric, brilliant, scholarly, perverse, witty, egocentric and infuriating, sometimes all at once'
Philip French
'He enrages, exasperates, but never leaves one indifferent'
