The best films you've never seen

If you're looking for suggestions for your Netflix queue, I recommend Never Coming to a Theater Near You by Kenneth Turan, a book which I purchased and read last week. It contains reviews of about 150 movies you might have heard of when they were in the theatre, and meant to see, but they went away before you had the chance. This book will remind you of those, and introduce you to some you might have missed.

From the book review on CNN.com:
Never Coming to a Theater Near You serves as a handbook for curious film lovers who, in looking for a good film, need a way to tunnel through heaps of dreck in order to find worthy films that just didn't get much attention the first time around.

'I envision this book to be a guide for the perplexed -- to be like a video store in your mind,' he says. 'People are so hungry for the kind of films this book represents, entertaining works that don't talk down to them.'
