For a movie buff of my age, this was way too hard! The focus is on the films of the 70s and 80s so most of the quotes were permeated with f*** and variations thereof. 95% of the movies I had only seen once, making it much more difficult to remember any lines. "Tomorrow is another day!" Now that's a memorable line! Seriously, if you were a huge Bill Murray fan, know the differences among "The Godfather" movies, and love the obscure, this is a book to be pulled out at parties to stump your guests. My guests would be wondering who some of the actors were, ha-ha.
