Tired of watching reboots and cookie cutter movies full of the same old tropes?
Get ready for a guided tour through the fun filled, action packed and gore soaked 80's with Tales From The Video Store. Learn about the movies that started the tropes and gave rise to the reboots with (mostly) spoiler free reviews, descriptions of the best scene in each, and a memorable quote from the film.
This book doesn't include the classic titles you might expect from the 80's like The Terminator, E.T or Ghostbusters. Instead, it celebrates the films that get missed because their vision often exceeded their budget. Films like The Last Starfighter, Beastmaster and The Monster Squad may not have defined the decade like Back to the Future, Aliens or Raiders of the Lost Ark but they came close and they deserve to be remembered.
