THE LIST
A terrific idea, this: take some of cinema's most respected actors and compile a career retrospective in the form of beautifully illustrated essays exploring their range as performers.
SIX DEGREES
The Movie Top Ten books are meticulously footnoted, have extensive filmographies, are superbly written and are appropriately illustrated throughout. They will prove indispensable to fans of the actors covered and to any film fan who needs to know more about what an individual actor brings to a performance and reciprocally what a performance may bring to an actor.

Movie Top Ten , Christipher Walken , ist genau das Richtige für Fans und Filmliebhaber. Es bietet eine weitgefächerte Auswahl verschie- denster Filme , begonnen mit Walkens erstem Film , bishin zu seinen neuesten Projekten. Sehr interressant ist auch die Vorgeschichte , eigene Zitate Walkens , etc. Hervorzuheben ist die gutgelungene Gliederung dieses Buches . Zehn ausgewählte Top - Movies , z.B. God's army , Batmann's Return , The Addiction , etc. sind inhaltlich wiedergegeben .Die Handlung , sowie die Absicht des Regisseurs ist ebenfalls analysiert. Insgesamt also ein tolles Nachschlagewerk , nicht nur für Christopher Walken Fans , sondern auch für jeden Filmliebhaber.

Great for Film Students - not for the general public or fan
15. November 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great source of information about Christopher Walken, his movies, and the themes that drive them - however - it does tend to overanalyze, and contains little information on Walken that you could not pick up yourself on the internet. It seems that Walken is not the chatty type. In his own words, he enjoys working and is not proud of all the 90+ features he has appeared in, but he does have his favorites. I have no idea after reading this book if one of these top ten are in fact the actors favorite - rather they are showcased as his best performances. This is a lot of speculation, as Walken has an incredible amount of work, including broadway shows to choose from. So if you are looking for that personal touch, it's not really there. You have to ask yourself though, is there really anything behind Walken as a person that would warrant a personal touch? From all appearences, he works, he goes home, he works some more. He has been married to the same woman for 30+ years, thinks he cooks really well, and aside from the really odd stab at screenwriting (he wants to do the John Holmes story - apparently he is fascinated with Holmes' life, and the attention paid to Holmes' member vs. the real man behind the porn - Okay Chris - you get the different award) he would appear to be reasonably stable (discounting the Natalie Wood thing, but even that is scandal of the most mundane variety.). Christopher Walken is a person who has lived his entire life on film (since the age of 3) and no doubt will die on film as is his wish. So perhaps there is no personal touch to be had and his films are the only window into his life, aside from the odd interview (such as his most recent wish - to host a cooking show). If you want to experience an exhaustive analysis of ten of what are his best well-known films by good reviewers that have never interacted personally with Walken himself - this is for you. If you want to read Walken on Walken, get the playboy interview.

Walken deserves better
23. August 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
I only rate this book with 4 stars because of its interesting subject - not for the editor Jack Hunter. Did Hunter actually read it? I was completely distracted from the material by the numerous spelling and grammatical errors. An actor like Christopher Walken deserves better treatment than this sloppily thrown together collection of essays. Though some of them were pretty interesting (Deer Hunter, Comfort of Strangers), I found myself wondering if Hunter actually watched all of the actor's major films. How could he include The Addiction and Suicide Kings in the Walken Top 10 but leave out the awesome performances in At Close Range and Biloxi Blues - both with gripping climax scenes that deserve essays of their own. A comparison of Walken in his stand-off with Sean Penn to Walken's flip-flop stand-off with Mathew Broderick (Walken is held at gunpoint by Penn/ Broderick held at gunpoint by Walken) sorely needed to be added to this collection. Will someone please re-write this book?!?!! Heck, give me a week; I could do better than this.

GREAT READING!
10. September 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
A great book by Jack Hunter. Christopher Walken is a very gifted actor, and Hunter gives loads of insight into the many characters he has played throughout the years. You may even be inclined to view some of the movies, again after reading this book. It is obvious that Hunter recognizes talent when he sees it. Hunter goes beyond the typical type-casting, that many film critics are stuck on. This book has many nuggets of wisdom, and is laced with respect. Christopher Walkwn is very fortunate to have an insightful author, like Hunter, write about him. Thanks Chris for sharing your gift of acting. Thanks Jack for sharing your gift of writing. The pleasure has been mine from Indiana.
