As much as I can't wait for my latest book, The Making of Major League, to hit shelves, I'm almost as excited to get my hands on the other "making of" books coming out this summer.

First and foremost, I'm super-jazzed for We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy by Caseen Gaines (June 23). I've always loved those movies and figure I'll tear through this book in about a day and a half.

Also interested to check out American Hauntings: The True Stories Behind Hollywood's Scariest Movies From The Exorcist to The Conjuring by Robert E. Bartholomew and Joe Nickell (June 30). Perfect timing to coincide with the Poltergeist remake out next week.

There was really no reason that I should have liked Clueless when it came out 20 years ago, but it certainly grew on me and I wound up really appreciating it. As If? The Oral History of Clueless as Told by Amy Heckerling and the Rest of the Crew by Jen Chaney (July 7) should be an interesting read that will help me understand my unexpected love for the movie.

Finally, there have been a lot of books cranked out in recent years about the Coen brothers and their films, but The Big Lebowski: The Making of a Coen Brothers Film by William Preston Robertson (June 22) looks like it might be one of the best.

While there are certainly plenty of new movies to get excited about at theaters this summer, we film buffs also have some great books to look forward to.
