The Films That Made Me... cover

Peter Bradshaw's finest reviews - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

'Like a pizza delivery driver who travels everywhere by moped, or a volcanologist who keeps turning the central heating up, I’m a film critic who loves going to the cinema.' - Peter Bradshaw. Peter Bradshaw is the film reviewer for intelligent, curious cinemagoers; he has worked at the Guardian for twenty years. The Films That Made Me collates his finest reviews from the last two decades, which carry with them his deep experience, knowledge and understanding of film. Introducing each section with a brief introductory article in his light, humorous tone, and ranging from The Cat in the Hat and the Twilight Saga to Synecdoche: New York, Bradshaw shares the films that he loved, the films that he hated, the films that made him laugh, cry, swoon and scared. His reviews range from the insightful and introspective to the savage and funny. A must read for all film fanatics.

I can state without a shadow of a doubt - and there is not a jot of self interest here - that Peter Bradshaw is the greatest film critic of this or any other age... But seriously - agree or disagree - in this book there is wit, passion, articulacy, intelligence and above all utter belief in the overwhelming power of film. And it makes you laugh. I loved it -- Sam Mendes
The Films That Made Me, as Bradshaw's many readers would expect, is knowledgeable, impassioned - and also very, very funny; as he would never write, we laughed out loud. * Esquire *
