Book Reviews of the Movies of the 90s
Customer Review: The worst of the series.
Summary: 3 Stars
I love these books. Full of great quality pictures, reviews/essays and notes on the text. However, Jurgen Muller's BOOKS OF THE '90s is by far the worst I've read out of the series so far. Whereas the '70s book listed all the iconic films of the 1970s, Movies of the 90s excludes some of the most definitive - such as Reservoir Dogs - and opts for stuff that wasn't even very good. (Such as Crash.)
If this was a list of the iconic films of the '90s such as "Films of the 70s" was, then perhaps including Dumb and Dumber also would have been a smart move. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it's better than many of the mediocre films they include here.
It's not a bad list, it's just missing a lot of titles I'd personally include, making up for their absence with mediocre titles that aren't even very popular.
