Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Movies of the 80s (Midi)

Book Review: Good reading, lacks some information and some great movies
Summary: 3 Stars

Where are, amongst other great titles missing, Raiders of The Lost Ark, The Return of Jedi, some of Fellini's pictures, the James Bond films? The lack of some major eighties films are inexcusable. It's clear that the book has been biased by the author, otherwise, which are the criteria for saying that those 145 films chosen were the major and most important productions of that decade? From which point of view are these films the most influencial, from the box office, from the public acclaim, from the critic?

Anyway, the edition has a gorgeous binding and the quality of the printing is also very fine, however, its flaws, besides the lack of some good films from the eighties, are the lack of more important information about each movie, namely: box office figures, premiére dates, entire credits list and so on. I think it also would be great if they could show the official poster of each film.

That's why it gets only 3 stars, but nevertheless, an enjoyable reading and a good addition to any movie aficionados.
