Tired of watching the same old movies? Read 10 Bad Dates With de Niro and pack your rental queue full of new (to you) films. This book is packed with alternative movie lists loosely arranged by category - you can concentrate on horror films if that's your bent, grab your Kleenex box for an afternoon of tear-jerkers, or pass directly to SF. The lists are provided by producers, critics, directors, and actors from every corner of the film industry - from Hollywood and indies to Europe and Asia; contributors got to pick their subjects and a few are very quirky like "The Ten Worst Wigs an Actor Dared Wear", "Top Ten Appearances by Shouty Al" [Pacino], and the title list. What's amazing about this book is that there seems to be very little overlap between the lists; even when a movie appears in different lists it seems to be for very different reasons (Star Wars: A New Hope is a popular one). 10 Bad Dates With de Niro is perfect for movie-lovers, from amateur film buffs to even the most jaded cinephile.
Personal attestation - my already-stuffed Netflix queue grew by at least 20 movies after reading 10 Bad Dates With de Niro; it would have been more but I already had some of the movies in my queue.
