This informative screen guide reflects the work of key directors, major stars and important music directors and screenplay writers.

No guide to Hindi film would be complete without discussing: Mother India, the national epic of a peasant woman's struggle against nature and society to bring up her family; Sholay, a 'curry western' where the all-star cast sing and dance, romance and kill; Dilwale Dulhaniya le jayenge, the greatest of the diaspora films, in which two British Asians fall in love on a holiday in Europe before going to India where they show their elders how to incorporate love into family traditions; Junglee, showing how love transforms a 'savage' (junglee) who yells 'Yahoo!' before singing and dancing like Elvis, creating a new youth culture; Pyaasa, dramatically shot in black and white film with haunting songs as the romantic poet suffers for his art in the material world; Fans of Bollywood film can debate Rachel Dwyer's personal selection of these 101 titles while those new to the area will find this an invaluable introduction to the best of the genre.

Three roller-coaster thrillers set in America—from a bestselling British writer. Underdogs: Seattle burned to the ground in 1889 and a new city was built on top of the old. A century later, the original Seattle remains: empty streets, crumbling sidewalks, and pitch-black passageways, twelve feet beneath the modern metropolis. When a robbery goes horribly wrong, Hilton “Rabbit” Babcock and his eight-year-old hostage, Ali, tumble through the rotten floor of an abandoned warehouse and into the subterranean city. They are not alone. Strange, desperate characters lurk in the shadows of old Seattle, and they don’t take kindly to visitors. To bring the girl out, the Seattle PD turns to a Vietnam vet who spent his war years flushing the Viet Cong from their jungle tunnels. Is Lewis ready to face his demons and go underground again? Ali’s life might just depend on it. “A hardboiled tour-de-force.” —The Independent on Sunday Nine Mil: After two masked gunmen shoot up a floating casino just off the New Jersey coast, Atlantic City taxi driver Ed Behr tries to remember the last time someone took on the casinos. Ever since he got his head slammed into a prison shower faucet, Ed’s memory hasn’t been all that great. The one person Ed can’t forget, from the time before he was an ex-con cabbie, is Honey—and he can’t seem to find her anywhere. But the glimpse of another, less welcome face from the past sets Ed’s wheels spinning, and he soon has a plan to reunite his old crew for a score that will make everything right again, or put them all out of their misery forever. “Styish, high-octane stuff, and not for the faint-hearted.” —Esquire (UK) Trans Am: When he isn’t playing softball or coaching Little League, Jim Barry is quizzing his five-year-old on batting averages. He is such a persuasive ambassador for America’s pastime that a foreign neighbor asks him to teach his son how to play. One tragic swing of the bat later, the boy is dead and Jim’s whole world is reduced to an impossible choice: hand over his own son as a replacement, or die alongside the rest of his family. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, a young boy is abducted and his single mother vows to do whatever it takes to bring him back. At the intersection of these two tragedies, a sinister network is exposed, and the deadly, all-consuming passion of familial bonds revealed. “Great plot, edge-of-the-seat suspense and intelligent writing.” —Time Out London

A “tense, taut, and thrilling” (Marie Claire) novel about a teenage girl, a predatory teacher, and a school’s complicity from the highly acclaimed, bestselling National Book Award finalist and author of A Short History of Women—“riveting, terrifying, exactly the book for our times” (Ann Patchett). They were on a lark, three teenaged girls speeding across the greens at night on a “borrowed” golf cart, drunk. The cart crashes and one of the girls lands violently in the rough, killed instantly. The driver, Jo, flees the hometown that has turned against her and enrolls at a prestigious boarding school. Her past weighs on her. She is responsible for the death of her best friend. She has tipped her parents’ rocky marriage into demise. She is ready to begin again, far away from the accident. “Devastatingly relevant” (Vogue) and “fueled by gorgeous writing” (NPR), His Favorites reveals the interior life of a young woman determined to navigate the treachery in a new world. Told from her perspective many years later, the story coolly describes a series of shattering events and a school that failed to protect her. “Before things turn treacherous, there’s a moment when predation can feel dangerously like kindness…Walbert understands this…His Favorites begs to be read” (Time).
