Don't be left in the pop culture dark

Maybe you don't get to watch a lot of movies or maybe you do and you're one of those people who can recite movies line by line. (Man, you guys bug me because I can't even remember the first sentence I wrote) If you fit either scenario, then Reel Culture: 50 Classic Movies You Should Know About (So You Can Impress Your Friends) has your name written all over it!

Classic movies have influenced everything: your favorite TV shows, jokes, and even song lyrics. But if you don't know what comes from where, you are in the pop culture dark. And you so don't want to be in the pop culture dark! 50 classic movies are covered. You'll find out 'What It's About,' 'Why All the Fuss?,' 'The Stuff People Still Talk About,' and a famous quote. For example, who doesn't know "Yo, Adrian!" It's only from one of the greatest movies ever...Rocky. The movie launched then unknown actor Sylvester Stallone to superstardom. But did you know Stallone wrote Rocky in less than four days and the total shooting budget was a low $960,000, but it became the year's top-grossing film?

This book is so much fun and a wide variety of movies are listed from The Godfather to Casablanca to Breakfast at Tiffany's. So if you don't want to be that person wondering who said, "Would you just watch the hair?", make sure you get your copy of Reel Culture and before you know it, you'll be the one spitting out classic movie citations at an unheard of rate!
