Looking for good books about the movies to read? We've got a bumper selection of recommendations right here...
A confession. I actually started writing this article in 2013, and the reason you've only reading it now is that I've made sure I've read every book on this list, save for one or two where I've marked otherwise. As such, what you're getting is a very personal list of recommendations. Each of these books has at least something to it that I think is of interest to someone wanting to learn more about film - or just enjoy stories of movie making.

There’s no two words in the english language more likely to induce a hardcore wrestling fans righteous fury than ‘PG Era’, except maybe the words ‘returning’ and ‘Batista’.
The company changed the classification of its programming during the summer of 2008 from TV-14 to PG. For many fans it was a case of ‘we didn’t know what we had until it was gone.’ After the rating change, though it didn’t happen immediately, many of the companies edgier tendencies were gradually scaled back or dropped outright. ‘Suggestive Dialogue’ was trimmed down, the sexual angles were sanitised (no more choppy choppy of Val Venis’ pee pee) and there were much fewer examples of male wrestlers laying hands on female wrestlers.
