Movies and traveling

Here are two fun lists of books about the movies. I for one would love to read Johathan Lethem's reflections on Star Wars and 2001. And 1,001 movies you must see before you die sounds like it is worth owning.

If you are in too traveling at all, 1000 Places to See Before You Die is awesome. As the Amazon user reviews indicates, the book is not for the Lonely Planet crowd. A good section of the book includes high end hotels. I for one love old, expensive hotels, but you don't need to stay in them to enjoy them. Just pop into the bar for one overpriced drink and you can enjoy the ambiance.
Or just stroll through the lobby. If you are fond of period novels or history, the old line hotels can be a lot of fun. I used it when travelling across the US and found it to be great fun. This shouldn't be the only book you use to travel, it is more of a dream book with which to explore.
