The Unusual Suspects: 104 Films that Made World Cinema

The Unusual Suspects is a list of 104 feature films which Ginnane believes an awareness, and knowledge of, may alleviate much of the need for a conventional film school based curriculum for emergent producers, directors and writers. As David Stratton says in his foreword to the book: ‘…you can learn more about making movies by experiencing the great movies of the past than by any other method.’

Each film is given a page to itself (with a still from the film on the opposite page) and as well as an analysis of the film including plot lines or plot elements (so spoiler alert) he also talks about the director and his place in film history.
