In this book, 35 directors champion their favorite overlooked or critically savagedÂ gems. Among these guilty pleasures, almost-masterpieces, and undeniable classics in need of revival are unsung noirs (,Murder by Contract,), famous flops (,Canâ€™t Stop the Music,,, Joe Versus the Volcano,), art films (,Lâ€™ange,), theatrical adaptations (,The Iceman Cometh,), B-movies (,Killer Klowns from Outer Space,), and even a few Oscar-winners (,Some Came Running,).,Â ,In these conversations, the filmmakers defend their choices. These films, they argue, deserve a larger audience and for their place in movie history to be reconsidered. But the conversationsâ€™ tangents, diversions, and side trips provide as much insight into the directorsâ€™ own approach to moviemaking as into the film theyâ€™re discussing. The filmmakers are the perfect hosts, often setting the tone, managing expectations, and giving advice about how you should watch each movie. Theyâ€™re often brutally honest about a filmâ€™s shortcomings or the reasons why it was lost in the first place.,Â ,The Best Film Youâ€™ve Never Seen, is not only a guide to some badly overlooked movies but a bold attempt to rewrite film history.
