tabberz77's review against another edition
4.0
Growing up in the 80's, Teen Movies were my jam. Although slightly on the younger side for these movies I still ate them up as much as I could.
This book was a great history on those movies. It not only had interesting back histories of these movies but also fun facts and anecdotes.
Although it was a little overwhelming with information it doesn't skimp on it's name!
If you're a movie buff or love teen movies I highly recommend you give this book a skim. I think you'll learn a lot more than you ever knew.
But be warned, this book makes you want to do many rewatches, so be sure you have your Netflix account up to date!

As a longtime fan of 80s teen movies, I enjoyed this journey through a cinematic decade I was never alive for. My one gripe is the author's heavy use of footnotes in each chapter - I found it distracting to be constantly pulled out of the story for a detail that didn't really matter. Otherwise, this was a fun book.

This book was dense. Meaning there was an awful lot packed in here - almost like a textbook, albeit enjoyable. It was not quite what I was expecting. I was expecting perhaps chapters devoted to the movies featured on the cover, but it was more a history timeline of 80s movies. I will say he bookended it well, but I found myself skimming more and more as I went along. I did learn a decent amount of trivia about many of the movies that I can annoy my family with if we watch them again, though! Hey, did you know...?
