Phil's 3rd Favorite 500: Still More Loves of a Moviegoing Lifetime

"Descriptively informative, Phil's 3rd Favorite 500 is thoroughly film fan friendly ... making it an essential and welcome addition.">In 2012, Phil Berardelli published his first compilation of 500 favorite movies, divided into 50 categories and borne of a lifelong love of the medium, and a desire to share some of his most enjoyable experiences with other cinephiles. He followed up in 2018 with a print edition of that compilation. Then, two years later, Phil completed his second 500 favorites, likewise encompassing 50 categories. Now, in Phil's 3rd Favorite 500, he adds yet another 500 titles, presented in yet another 50 categories. With this trilogy, Phil offers a vast array of attractions to engage a wide variety of interests, from the most avid film students to the most casual viewers, and ranging from acknowledged classics to little-known treasures. All represent some of the finest work of moviemakers in America and overseas alike, with some titles going back nearly a hundred years. Witty and eminently browsable, Phil's three compilations will no doubt in the coming years be regarded as classic references for movie lovers everywhere.
