"What a concept! With this book, you have history and movies combined in one. Of course, some of the history points are rather stetching the concept. For instance, the entry for Jan 2, the date that marks the anniversary of the 55mph speed limit, the author recommends "Speed".
But Uhler fills the book with lots of interesting tidbits, and leaves virtually no stone left unturned. There is even a section at the end for those rotating days like Mother's, Father's and Grandparent's Day. You'll be more than a year checking out all the great flicks he mentions (some get more than one)." -Customer comment, Amazon.com - |
"Bursting at the seams with fresh, fascinating film info! I'm a real film buff and my girlfriend got me a copy of 'A Movie A Day' - and I LOVE it! Packed with great recommendations, insightful observations, humor, obscure facts and anecdotes (Sherlock Holmes' birthday . . anniversary of Billy the Kid's death . . William Shatner's birthday . .) - plus movies to go with them! You get A LOT of bang for your buck with this book - a perfect gift for the movie-lovers on your gift list - but keep one for yourself. You'll be using it all year long."
