Kenneth Turan's fifty-four favorite films embrace a century of the world's most satisfying romances and funniest comedies, the most heart-stopping dramas and chilling thrillers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTuran discovered film as a child left undisturbed to watch \u003ci\u003eMillion Dollar Movie\u003c\/i\u003e on WOR-TV Channel 9 in New York, a daily showcase for older Hollywood features. It was then that he developed a love of cinema that never left him and honed his eye for the most acute details and the grandest of scenes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot to be Missed\u003c\/i\u003e blends cultural criticism, historical anecdote, and inside-Hollywood controversy.
