Jack Reacher doesn’t have exclusive rights to one shots (although don’t tell him we said that). As of today, Empire has one of its own to share with the world – and the world’s nearest newsagent. A bumper, 196-page guide to Movie Masterpieces is now on sale, celebrating, exploring and delving into some of the greatest movies committed to celluloid. Yup, we're getting into the spin-off business.

There are 101 of masterpieces in total, spanning cinema’s entire history, from D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance (vast budgets! Multi-threaded narratives! Elephants!) to Pan’s Labyrinth (Fairies! Pale Men! Erm... Labyrinths!). Each is an undisputed classic; each explored, examined, poked with a stick and revelled in with all the passion and gusto you’d expect from your friends at Empire.

Have it as a TV-side almanac to steer your next movie nights, use it as a reference guide for your film studies course, buy it as an early Christmas present, or (like us) just put it on your coffee table to look a bit more knowledgeable – whatever you have in mind for it, you can pick it up from your nearest newsstand today or head here to buy a copy online{ =nofollow}.
