Chick flicks.
Brokeback Mountain
. Bollywood. Superhero movies.
Sophie's Choice
. Sandra Bullock. Avant-garde musicals...
If this sort of stuff is your cup of tea, then this isn't the book for you. Blokey film enthusiast Dave Franklin instead concentrates on the politically incorrect delights of
Coffy
,
Magnum Force
and
Boogie Nights
while paying tribute to the likes of Christopher Walken, Paul Schrader, 70's disaster movies and Brian De Palma. There's even some tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the God-like Steven Seagal. So settle back, forget about identity politics and the prevailing lefty narrative, and immerse yourself in a book that values celluloid entertainment above all else.
Or as Rob Reiner says at the start of the immortal
Spinal Tap
: "Enough of my yakking. Let's boogie."
