Easy Riders, Raging BullsRead about another entry on the list.
Peter Biskind
A stone-cold classic from the moment it arrived in 1998. Biskind, a former editor of Premiere magazine, produced a detailed, insightful and immensely readable account of the (until then) relatively neglected achievements of the 70s “movie brats” and their outpouring of masterworks. Both scholarly and popular, Biskind’s book turned a whole new generation on to the Hollywood new wave.
Easy Riders, Raging Bulls is on the Barnes & Noble Review's list of five top books on making movies and Leo Braudy's list of the five best books on Hollywood.
