Re: Anybody ever buy the book best movies of the 80s by author jurgen miller ?
I've got 4 of his books from Taschen - Movies of The 70s, 60s, 50s and 40s. I just pre-ordered the next one which is for the 30s. I haven't grabbed the 80s and 90s yet as I'm already familiar with those eras. I seem to remember the selection of films for the 80s and 90s wasn't quite as interesting as for the other decades, but there's still some great picks.
I love all the books I have though. Beautiful photos and some very good and interesting write-ups (if occasionally a little overly scholarly). If memory serves, I wouldn't read too much of the text for films you haven't seen. The photos alone will make you want to see them...
