Film critic, Sale of the Century and Mastermind winner, and all-round modern Renaissance man Hamish McDouall spent several months in darkened rooms watching films to produce this brilliant and unusual selection. It encompasses feature films, short films, digifilms and documentaries. Yes, The Lord Of The Rings and Whale Rider are here, but so too are Kaikohe Demolition and Tongan Ninja. The book includes details of where to get hold of these gems so you can watch them in your own darkened room.
Hamish McDouall, a lawyer turned journalist, has written for The Observer, the Listener and Public Address. He is the author of the biography Chris Cairns.
