Summary: What do ET, Fatal Attraction and Look Whos Talking have in common? . As well as being amongst the most popular films at the UK box office of recent years all three represent dysfunctional families, families which profoundly transgressed contemporary ideological norms. The eighties were a decade in which the family occupied a pivotal position in an increasinglingly complex social and moral universe and film itself enjoyed a resurgence. Sarah Harwood argues that Hollywood cinema engaged with debates over the' crisis in the family' in intense and complex ways, both feeding and resisting dominant social mythologies In a fascinating analysis of films as diverse as 'Aiplane!' and 'Terms of Endearment' Family Fictions maps the functions, paradoxes and pleasures of familial representations in recent times. These startling analyses shed light on power and gender relations in contemporary cinema as well as on how the films themselves engaged with their broader cultural contexts

Summary: Charting key films from the past hundred years, along with technological developments and historical landmarks, Francine Stock explores in compelling detail the nature of our relationship with film - from the first screenings of the Lumiere Brothers' short films, which saw audiences shrinking from oncoming trains, to the perception-altering 3-D Avatar. The twenties saw the birth of celebrity, still so influential even today. With the influence of Freud and the unconscious came film noir, anticipated by dark European classics like La Bete Humaine; Hollywood in the fifties turned ideological fears into lurid sci-fi and body-snatching horror; with the social change of the sixties came refracted ways of seeing, from Alfie to theStargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey or a compelling seventies nightmares like Carrie. Moving towards our own century, Francine Stock considers how film reflects back on itself, bending time and technology to look to the future. More than a century on from those earliest awe-inspiring images, we are still in thrall to the power of film. In this fascinating, entertaining and illuminating book Francine Stock shows how film both reflects and remakes our world.

Summary: "Steven Spielberg (1947 - ) made his first film at the age of 12, and by age 27 his second film for the commercial cinema, JAWS, was breaking all existing box-office records. In the decade since then, his reputation as an inventive filmmaker with an unerring gift for knowing what will attract the paying customer has gone from strength to strength. Spielberg's technical assurance and gift for creating dazzling special effects are matched by his ability to interpret stories with the kind of pace and style that brooks no resistance. He has with some justification been called 'a magician in the age of the movies', yet despite his phenomenal success as a commercial filmmaker (no less than four of his films are among the top fifteen top money-making films of all time), he has been conspicuous by his absence in the lists of Academy Award winners. Is he, as some critics claim, merely the 'General Motors of kids movies', or will the next decade see him make a successful move into directing films with adult themes?" [Book blurb]
