Review by thomas-rothschild

A good choice of films and some clever remarks. But: "Movies", according to this documentary, were made only in the US. And: the film doesn't give you the time to study single scenes or shots. It is an overview for people who don't really watch. Typical CNN, typical American and typical superficial. Evaluations mostly without reason. So it is not more than a string of reminders of great moments in cinema history for those who know the films. Scorsese, who adds a few short statements, has made better documentaries on the history of (not only northamerican) cinema. But if you don't spend more than 15 $ or Euro on the DVD it is okay.
