Product Description

Product Description

Whatever your taste in movies, the filmmakers of the 1990s had it covered. On the one hand, the big studios took advantage of the ever-increasing sophistication of computer-generated imagery to produce spectacular, mega-budget 'event' movies like "Titanic", "The Matrix" and "Mission: Impossible"; on the other, a new generation of independents like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers was winning its spurs with low-tech and often low-budget productions such as "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Big Lebowski". Spielberg turned his attention to the Second World War with "Saving Private Ryan", Eastwood and Costner gave the Western a new lease of life with "Unforgiven" and "Dances With Wolves", and the Brits chipped in with two unexpected successes, "The Full Monty" and "Trainspotting". From the eerie psychosis of "The Silence Of The Lambs" to the romantic fantasy "Pretty Woman", this was a decade that offered something for everyone. Hollywood may have become besotted by all things digital, but print on paper, in the form of the poster, remained one of the most important means of promoting movies of all kinds, and the poster artists of the 90s proved that they could still produce striking and alluring images. This book reproduces the pick of the decade.

Exactly what I was looking for, 9 April 2012
By D. Moore - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great book at a great price. I wanted smaller sized replicas of movie posters to use in matted frames for decoration in a movie buff's bedroom. This book fit the bill - it is filled with tons of scanned copies of posters from the 90's. The shipping was super fast and the product arrived in perfect condition.

As a collection of cool posters it is spectacular but it was, to me, lacking in the way of commentary. Mainly because there wasnt any. Definitely not a must for understanding complex symbolism or artistic style but as a base collecion of pictures its pretty swell.

comes up a winner 15 Oct 2006
By Jonathan Green - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
For 10 years, I have sought another chance to glimpse a European poster I had seen for Casino on a trip to the continent when the picture was current. This book offers me that.

For that alone, it gets 4 stars. It's not the book's fault that the 90s offered a bunch of rehashes of the posters for Eraser and The Peacemaker. And scores of big faces with guns. Plus, the ascendance of computer design. Zzzzz.

Still, that Casino poster is a haunting and lovely image. One of cinema's finest.
