Summary of Movies of the 90s

The meat of the book is devoted to an in-depth look at nearly 150 films, American, European and Asian, broken down year by year. First the facts: date, country, running time, genre, director, film credits, cast, and Academy and film festival awards. Then, a summary of the film, facts about the making of the film, comments on the budget and box office, quotes from the film and from critical reviews, and most importantly, numerous photos and film stills from each movie, with annotated captions. Liberally featured throughout are boxed items of interest: technical film terms, notes about the director's influences, film-set gossip, and other irresistible trivia. The book closes with easy-to-use indexes of Academy Awards for each year, films by title, names, production companies and a glossary of film terms.

What sets MOVIES OF THE 90s apart from other traditional film guides is its liberal use of visual material from the films. It adds immeasurably to the reader's recall and appreciation of each film featured and makes it a fun read as well as a highly informative one. MOVIES OF THE 90s is a must for the film lover's bookshelf.
