Product Description
Is Richard E. Grant's "Withnail" a far superior screen drunk to Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey"? What is cinema's most tragic farewell, its most ingenious plot-twist, its most shocking murder? And why do Robert De Niro's characters behave so badly to women? All film fans keep mental records of their movie-going tastes, and their post-show arguments in the pub. This book is a rollicking collection of such 'Top Tens', contributed by a fine cast of leading film writers, acclaimed film-makers and novelists from Steven Soderbergh and the Coen Brothers to Gilbert Adair and DBC Pierre. If you want to know the Ten Most-Deserved Oscars or Ten So-Called 'Turkeys' that are actually brilliant, then look no further, "Ten Bad Dates With De Niro" could be your perfect match.
From the Inside Flap
We all have our favourite movies: indeed the love of film can drive us to obsession - with particular stars, directors, genres and styles. Now, out of the depths of this movie mania, Faber and Faber present 'Ten Bad Dates with De Niro' - a celebration of film like no other.
Within its pages is a wealth of movie lists that offer answers to some of the great questions in cinema history. Do really good films ever win Academy Awards? What is the saddest moment in film history? How about the most convincing sex scene? The greatest ending? The cleverest plot twist? The grisliest murder? How do the three 'Lord of the Rings' films compare to Kieslowski's Three Colours Trilogy? Is Richard E. Grant's 'Withnail' a 'far superior' screen drunk to Jimmy Stewart in 'Harvey'? Have Kevin Costner's 'Waterworld' and the acting of David Bowie been unjustly maligned? Which male movie star looks best in a dress? Where have you been most surprised to meet a severed head? And how do you make a great movie without a movie camera? All this and more, not forgetting 'Ten Bad Dates With De Niro' itself - lessons from the screen legend's greatest characters on how NOT to treat a lady. Contributors range from the directors of Oscar-winners - the Coen brothers, Steven Soderbergh, Kevin Macdonald, Mike Figgis - to an array of acclaimed writers including David Hare, DBC Pierre, Mavis Cheek and George Pelecanos.
No movie-lover will set this book down unfinished. But be warned - it may start certain arguments that have no end ...
