This eighth issue is printed on ivory paper and is 24 pages in length.  It discusses why 2001 was a year of “event” movies, spotlights the science-fiction thriller The Andromeda Strain, profiles Judy Holliday and features an article on Pearl Harbor in the movies.  It features eighteen recent release reviews, a discussion of the Oscar results, an article about the films in which John Wayne perishes and a long rant about how previews spoil the films they advertise by revealing too much about them.

While copies remain, this issue sells for $10 postpaid, which includes shipping to destinations in the United States and Canada.
