'Zagat' guide on films a fun read

By Wayne Harada

For film buffs, the "Zagat Movie Guide 2009," chock full of film capsules, will help steer you to your next DVD purchase or Netflix rental.

From "About a Boy" to "Zulu," the handy guide assembles 2,300 titles rated and reviewed in terse Zagat tradition by nearly 19,000 flick fans. Foreign films, westerns, thrillers, romance and more — it's fun to flip through to find a long-forgotten gotta-see.

The Top 75 all-time fave is led by "The Godfather," followed by "Casablanca," "Star Wars," "Gone With the Wind" and "Shawshank Redemption." See if your choices made the cut.
