I Want My Two Dollars: A Guide to 20 Cult Classics of the 1980s is a full-color book exploring 20 of the most well-loved cult classics of everyone's favorite decade!

Each chapter of the book focuses on one movie, giving you a full-color minimalist art piece followed by an essay filled with trivia, recollections from cast and crew members, and critical and box office analysis. There will also be a few surprises along the way!

I Want My Two Dollars is a full-color, squarebound 8.5" x 5.5" book that is approximately 100 pages in length (final page count TBD, as I keep adding material right up until deadline!) It is a cross between an art book, a collection of behind-the-scenes essays, and a fanzine, all published in a professional and colorful layout. 

Each essay is 3-4 pages long. While we strove to provide information that will inform and entertain you, we also wanted to make sure the book is fun! This is meant to be more of a coffee-table book than a deep literary analysis. So if you're looking for a film analysis textbook, this isn't the book for you! If you're looking for a great read about movies that don't tend to get written about elsewhere, this is the book for you! In short: it won't be boring or stuffy!
