Five books spanning five decades of cinema — take a look at TASCHEN's 100 Movies series, from the 1960s through the 2000s. Each volume brings together the 100 most influential films of its decade, profiled with stills, synopses, and expert commentary by film historian Jürgen Müller.
500 Movies. Five Decades. One Essential Series.
From the countercultural revolution of the 1960s to the franchise era of the 2000s, TASCHEN’s 100 Movies series covers half a century of cinema in five authoritative volumes, edited by film historian Jürgen Müller. Each book profiles the 100 most influential and beloved films of its decade — with stills, plot synopses, director and cast notes, and movie-buff trivia that rewards both the casual viewer and the dedicated cinephile.
The 1960s brought political upheaval and a new cinematic language; the 1970s gave us auteur filmmaking at its most ambitious, from Coppola to Kubrick. The excess and invention of the 1980s produced Blade Runner, Amadeus, and E.T., while the 1990s saw Tarantino, Lynch, and Soderbergh reinvent storytelling for a new generation. The 2000s rounded out the century with blockbuster franchises like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter alongside cult classics such as Lost in Translation and No Country for Old Men.
Five decades. Five books. An indispensable library for anyone who loves film.
