The Art of The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Stephen Rebello

The art and music in this movie are some of the best in any animated movie ever. Definitely the best Disney movie out there with themes that are relevant today.

Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!: Deep Inside Valley of the… by Stephen Rebello

Valley of the Dolls is one of my favorite bad films that are good, so I assumed reading the book about the making of the film would be a no brainer choice. Oh boy was I wrong. This detailed book about every bit of casting and each change to the three different screenplay is boring. Who cares? Life is too short to waste time with Stephen Rebello’s exhausting book.

Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho by Stephen Rebello

A terrific and readable history of the making of Psycho, Rebello's book is free from cant, jargon, theory, or outlandish stretching of his points. This is going to sound silly, but here goes: it's like someone said, "I wonder how Hitchcock made Psycho?" and Rebello said, "Read this." It's filled with concrete information, telling anecdotes, and workmanlike prose. Rebello is especially good on how Psycho--despite the reams and reams of money it made Hitchcock--proved to be a mixed blessing, at least for its director. Recommended.… (more)
