No matter how many movies you've seen, no matter how many trivia contests you've won, this book is sure to have some surprises for you.

The fifty flicks featured here aren't playing at the local Google-Plex or renting at your video store. These films never actually made it to the big screen -- they're the gems that got lost in the Hollywood shuffle, consigned to Development Hell. Imagine, if you will:

•Alfred Hitchcock's The Blind Man, about a pianist suddenly given the ability to see

•Destino, the surreal fusion of two gigantic artistic talents: Salvador Dali and Walt Disney

•The unmade Star Trek film, Starfleet Academy

•Greta Garbo's triumphant return to the screen that never happened, Lover and Friend

•A senior citizens' Animal House
