A brief look at 20 cult classic movies from the 80’s, with excerpts from various periodicals, podcasts, and documentaries. The author gives reasons for why these films made his list and gives favorite quote(s) and fun facts. My brother and I met the author at a comic con previously and ended up getting this book at a subsequent con. A fun, quick afternoon’s read about some of the lesser well-known movies from the 80’s.

A bit amateur but a rousingly good topic as an 80s movie buff. The fun facts were definitely not things I'd otherwise known about, and the movie selection criteria and ultimate list was top notch. Very curious to run through his upcoming 90s movie sequel.
