It is a part of a series designed and produced by Quintessence Editions, a London-based company, and published in English-language versions by Cassell Illustrated (UK), ABC Books (the publishing division of Australian Broadcasting Corporation), and Barron's (US). The first edition was published in 2003. The most recent edition was published on 14 December 2021.

Each title is accompanied by a brief synopsis and critique, some with photographs. Presented chronologically, the 14th edition begins with Georges Méliès' A Trip to the Moon from 1902 and ends in 2020 with Chloé Zhao's Nomadland.
The book has been popular in Australia, where it was the seventh best-selling book in the country for a week in April 2004[1] and was promoted alongside the presentation of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's My Favourite Film special.[2]
