S:6 E:32 Cinema Revisited: The Defining Films of the 1990s with Scott Ryan The Last Decade of Cinema

Books That Make You Relive the Last Decade of Real Cinema—the 1990s Pop culture historian and entertainment scholar Scott Ryan has turned his sights on the 1990s in his latest work, The Last Decade of Cinema, a thoughtful, comprehensive book of dozens of essays looking back at twenty-five movies that defined the 21st century's last generation. The book offers exclusive interviews and insights from industry giants like Alexander Payne,  Patricia Arquette, Helen Childress and Natasha Gregson Wagner (Natalie Wood's daughter). The book also analyzes iconic movies from the nineties, unpacking their cultural impact and legacy. It makes us remember a time when films were communal, when they were "big events", when they impacted our lives—when things were simpler, at least in the realm of media content. And when it was okay to argue with your friends over what was in the Pulp Fiction briefcase. Find out more on Books That Make You. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
