Name of the book – The Last Decade of Cinema: 25 films from the nineties

Name of the author – Scott Ryan 

Step into a time when movies held sway over hearts and minds, a golden era that spanned the 1990s. Scott Ryan, acclaimed author of “The Last Days of Letterman and An Oral History,” invites readers on a nostalgic journey through “The Last Decade of Cinema.” As a former video store clerk in Ohio, Ryan offers a unique perspective, having devoured every film released during that pivotal era. In his latest work, he celebrates twenty-five cinematic gems, from the romantic escapades of “Pretty Woman” to the gritty allure of “Pulp Fiction” and the poignant redemption of “The Shawshank Redemption.” With wit and insight, Ryan delves into what made these films classics and laments the shift away from their risk-taking brilliance in today’s film landscape. Through interviews with writers, directors, and actors, he resurrects the spirit of VCRs, DVD rentals, and movies that truly mattered. 

So, set aside your streaming services, disconnect from social media, and immerse yourself in the nineties’ cinematic magic with “The Last Decade of Cinema,” a tribute to a bygone era of storytelling excellence. Thanks to The Last Decade of Cinema, I now have a great list of movies I can’t wait to experience these movies for the first time. 

The films are supplemented by some excellent interviews – a tribute to his thoroughness in getting the best to meet the challenge he set for himself; notes for each chapter; a comprehensive index; and informative acknowledgements. This book is a must-read for cinephiles and nostalgia enthusiasts alike, offering a thought-provoking exploration of a pivotal moment in movie-making history.
