The Great Movies

The Great Movies is the name of several publications, both online and in print, from Roger Ebert, the American film critic and columnist for The Chicago Sun-Times. The object was, as Ebert put it, to "make a tour of the landmarks of the first century of cinema",[1] by writing essays on films Ebert considered particularly well-made, important or influential.

Roger Ebert
"One of the gifts a movie lover can give another is the title of a wonderful film they have not yet discovered. Here are more than 300 reconsiderations and appreciations of movies from the distant past to the recent past, all of movies that I consider worthy of being called 'great.'" — Roger Ebert
