Phil's 2nd Favorite 500 Phil Berardelli

In 2012, Phil Berardelli published Phil's Favorite 500, his first compilation of the titles he has most loved and admired over six decades of moviegoing. First released electronically, that list also became a paperback in 2018. During the intervening years, Phil expanded his favorites, and now he has released his second collection, aptly titled Phil's 2nd Favorite 500. But don't be misled by the name. The new list contains many, many movies that are well worth seeing and full of memorable moments. He encourages you to sample his suggestions and see if you agree that the world of cinema contains a vast bounty of enjoyment for moviegoers of all ages and tastes. As in Phil's Favorite 500, the new compilation contains, along with sparkling commentary, bits of interesting trivia, some of it unique to Phil's own experiences as a movie critic. Whether in paperback or as an ebook -- which contains links to hundreds of clips, featurettes and other references of interest -- Phil invites you to discover for yourself the many pleasures of his 2nd Favorite 500.
