I apologize if a similar thread already exists but...
What are the greatest film-related books for Film buffs...?
Mark Cousins - The story of Film
Danny Peary - Cult Movie series.
Easy Riders, Raging Bulls.
Scenes from a Revolution.
and, of course, the Psychotronic Video/Film Guide.

Willam Goldman - Adventures in the screen trade
A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"
A pony walks into the bar and whispers, "I'll have a beer, please." The barkeeper asks, "Why are you whispering?".
"I'm a little hoarse."

Re: Greatest ever Film books....?
Can I turn this on its head and say as most books are better than films - the worst was The Deer Hunter - the film blew the book clean out of the water..... apologies :)
Member no. 55 of the "100 free films in 2014" club - 46 movies seen 54 to go. Target 72
0 freebies coming up, seen 26 previews, seen 12 non-previews so far - yippee...pa*d for 8 - Hubble 3D 5.50, Non-stop 6.60, Transcendence 6.60, The Amazing Spiderman II 3D 7.38, Love Punch 5.94, Locke 5.31, The other woman 5.94, The monuments men 5.31 and cancelled another 5 for various reasons. Purchased a Cineworld Card, so I'm seeing a lot less free films as i am not travelling as far to see them.

Re: Greatest ever Film books....?
I used to b*y a lot of Film books but ultimately its a magazine called Sight and Sound that really invigorates my thirst for knowledge on classic movies, latest releases and the goings on in the film industry. It has been around since the 1930s. Thats a serious film buff periodical, I thoroughly recommend a subscription to. Empire magazine is the more popcorn mag (which I love too!).
Sorry I am not naming books though because the last time I b*ght one was over a decade ago, so quite outdated now.
