3. The Kennedys, from Muse Entertainment. "Inspired by one of the world's most iconic families, this eight-part scripted drama/miniseries ventures upstairs at the White House to chronicle the saga of America's first royal family during the 1960s."

4. A Fistful of Dollars, from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. "A Fistful of Dollars launched the spaghetti Western and catapulted Clint Eastwood to stardom.

5. Garrow's Law: Series One, from Acorn Media. "William Garrow was a real British barrister who came to the law in the late 1700s, a time when the accused were at the mercy of the court - and the court was not very merciful. Garrow's Law portrays the beginning of Garrow's career with just the right touches of melodrama and romance to make this series wonderfully engrossing."

6. Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock, by David Margolick. "The names Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Bryan Massery may not be well known, but the image of them from September 1957 surely is: a black high school girl, dressed in white, walking stoically in front of Little Rock Central High School, and a white girl standing directly behind her, face twisted in hate, screaming racial epithets ... In this gripping book, David Margolick tells the remarkable story of two separate lives unexpectedly braided together."

7. No Direction Home: The Life and Music of Bob Dylan (The Acclaimed Biography), by Robert Shelton. "Robert Shelton met Bob Dylan when the young singer first arrived in New York. He became Dylan's friend, champion, and critic. This book, first published in 1986, was hailed as the definitive unauthorized biography of this moody, passionate genius and his world."

8. Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin: Forty Years of Funny Stuff, by Calvin Trillin. "Trillin selects the best of his funny stuff and organizes it into topics like high finance ('My long-term investment strategy has been criticized as being entirely too dependent on Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes') and the literary life ('The average shelf life of a book is somewhere between milk and yogurt.')"

9. Éminence: Cardinal Richelieu and the Rise of France, by Jean-Vincent Blanchard. "Chief Minister to King Louis XIII, Cardinal Richelieu was the architect of a new France in the 17th century, and the force behind the nation's rise as a European power."

10. H.G. Wells: Another Kind of Life, by Michael Sherborne. "When H. G. Wells left school in 1880 at 13 he seemed destined for obscurity - yet he defied expectations, becoming one of the most famous writers in the world."
