Thirty-two "discovery modules" (signaled by the www icon in the text) explore selected topics in depth. Look inside the back cover for a list of modules.

Twelve "frame sequence animations" provide quick-reference clips of films mentioned in the text. Look inside the front cover for a list of animations.

Seven "case studies" provide model analyses of frequently screened movies (Bicycle Thieves, Chinatown, North by Northwest, Touch of Evil, The Piano, Breathless, and Apocalypse Now).

More than 250 quiz questions provide thorough review of key concepts.

Illustrated timelines trace major events in film history.

A glossary of key terms, a guide to writing about movies, and links to other web resources are also available. (from the first edition)
