David Thomson, “Have You Seen…?”: A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films (Knopf, $39.95). A companion volume to The New Biographical Dictionary of Film in which my favorite film critic holds forth on a thousand variously significant movies–some great, some good, some awful–all discussed in quirky single-page essays that are models of pithy, quotable idiosyncrasy. Have You Seen…? will be the book of the season for smart filmgoers who love a good argument (TT).
