wanted to turn people on to this interesting little read.A dude that I work with (Mike Price, incredible knowledge of music, movies, books, who knows what else) co-wrote this cool little book and I thought some of you folks would get a kick out of it.It runs down 40 ill biker flicks from across the board, gives a synopsis/background of each movie, stills, movie posters, etc... really fun to flip through and read.Anyway, I was talking to him and expressing that a similar book on blaxploitation-styled movies that also covered the accompanying soundtracks would be pretty interesting and perhaps well read. His knowledge of movies (as well as music) is downright scary and I think he could do a hell of a good job. Is there a definitive book like that already out there? If so, how solid is it and is there room for another?

For funny ranting:
For comprehensive & scholarly (but dry) movie info:

Lotsa b/w poster art, ads, & photos with a fairly complete list but kinda skimpy on info.
Thanks for the tip on this--I've been looking for something like it.
Glory Stompers[/b], that's my schitt. Can't wait till it gets
a legit DVD release.
It's not the most exciting-looking book in the world, but for raw nuts-and-bolts info like film titles, summaries, credits, etc., it's essential.
