What a great list! Also, if you haven’t read the real inside story of the making of the cult classic “The Room”, this is a great movie book for you! Great post!

Thanks John, I appreciate it, man! Thanks for the link. I’ll be sure to head on over. I appreciate you checking in. Glad you liked the list!
Yes, a great one – thanks for sharing it!
wow!
I’m having a blast with these. That ILM book is stunning. I’ve had it for many years and I love re-visiting it. The Spielberg and Hitchcock books were gifts from good friends. The “Empire” book is the one I am enjoying the most right now, though.
Thanks for stopping in, Rob!
I also own that Steven Spielberg retrospective and it is quite the book. A very fascinating and personal look into the cinematic king’s career. Hope you enjoy it.
I am enjoying it very much. Only made it halfway through when I had started it a while back. A great gift from a very close friend of mine that loves his films as well. It is indeed fascinating. I love to hear all of the great anecdotes he has from the set of his movies.
Thanks for checking in!
Great choices!
Thanks! Having a lot of fun with these and of course, learning a great deal of history and movie knowledge and facts. Going to keep me busy for a while!
Thanks for stopping by! Great to hear from you.
You big movie nerd 😀
Excellent selection of material. I hope you’re working towards a masters in film studies – I’m serious!
great books, i also recommend Blockbuster by Tom Shone, a great in depth history of summer blockbusters.
I’ll look out for that one, David. Sounds very cool. Maybe my local library may have a copy, if not, I’ll track it down on Amazon.
Thanks for the follow and for the info. I appreciate it!
