Favorite Movies of the 90s

Description

It was a delicate and complex task that required a fair bit of soul-searching, but we did it: we took a complete list of all movies released in the 1990s around the world and whittled it down to just 144 of our very favorites. These are the movies that define the '90s-a decade when independent cinema went mainstream while big-budget special effects kept Hollywood strongly in the game. With four to ten pages for each film, this two-volume tribute is an opulent factbook packed full of photos and film stills, as well as cast/crew credits, film summaries, actor and director biographies, and budget and box office vital statistics. Guaranteed to bring you right back to the '90s, you'll find a hearty celebration of all the films you saw and plenty of reasons to see the ones you missed.

Jurgen Muller holds the chair of Early Modern and Modern Art History at the Technical University of Dresden. He studied art history at the universities of Bochum, Mu nster, Pisa, Paris and Amsterdam, and has worked as an art critic and curated numerous exhibitions. He is also the editor of TASCHEN's movies by decade series.

"Its balance between text and image is just right, making the book very accessible to pretty much anyone whether they were alive in the 90's or not. It offers a comprehensive guide to a pretty fantastic decade of film that should not be overlooked." * New Winchester Review *
