Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of essays by the author about films which were important to pop culture and the genre. Each essay includes a complete plot synopsis, additional analyses and notes, anecdotal information and data, where possible; since some films have been lost. Each has been selected for addition to this volume based on the author's experience as a fan of science fiction and a film critic. Some of the films may seem like cheaply made popcorn thrillers but when seen for their themes and impact they were actually quite educational.
