Product Description

These are a few of the over 100 films discussed in Midnight Movies, a comprehensive and in-depth look at the subculture movies of the past three decades. Here is the complete history of cult films, their makers, and their audience; an examination of how films become "midnight movies," and what keeps audiences coming back to see them over and over; an exploration of the connections between subversive film and the subcultures from which it emerges. Supplemented with a new afterward detailing the accommodation of midnight movies into the mainstream and speculating on the future of the genre, Midnight Movies is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and future of American cinema.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written With Love, 29 April 2005

By	"djjudderman" - See all my reviews

I first picked up this book in the magnificent Arnolfini Bookshop in Bristol in 1984. It opened my eyes to a new cinema. If you are interested in the underground, then you need this book. It contains detailed background on how the films came to be made, how they were made, the plot of each movie and reaction to the final product.
