A history of American movies : a film-by-film look at the art, craft, and business of cinema / Paul Monaco.

Summary:

The book focuses on 170 of the most highly regarded and recognized feature films selected by the Hollywood establishment: each Oscar winner for Best Picture, as well as those voted the greatest by members of the American Film Institute.
