More About the Author
As a boy I was passionate about sports, movies, television, and music, and now I make my living by writing about each of these topics. Pretty amazing. I was born in West Virginia, grew up in South Carolina and New Jersey, got a B.A. in History at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and an M.A. in Cinema at USC. I have been living in New York City since 1977 with my wife Suzanne (our married daughter Zoe and granddaughter Julianna live too far away in Maryland), publishing books and articles on movies and sports (mostly baseball). I watch an insane number of movies and politely root for the A's, Lakers, Giants, and UConn women in basketball. I am the writer-researcher on the long-running television interview show, "The Tim McCarver Show," and have done three books with Tim, who is a close friend. I also worked with the dear Ralph Kiner on his autobiography, "Baseball Forever." My twenty-first book, written with Tom Clavin, is my first biography, "Roger Maris: Baseball's Reluctant Hero" for Touchstone/Simon&Schuster. We have a facebook fan page for the book, for which we interviewed 130 people. I also contribute celebrity interviews on brink.com and am the New York correspondent for the Australian magazine, "FilmInk." I love to write, but there's nothing more exciting than creating a project or more satisfying than finishing it.

Fantastic reference for film fans!,
This review is from: Cult Movies 2: Fifty More of the Classics, the Sleepers, the Weird, and the Wonderful (Paperback)
To say I'm a huge fan of Danny Peary's books would be a gross understatement. I adore them. They truly changed my life. I discovered this book and the other 2 cult movies books in college(along with Guide for the Film Fanatic). They turned me onto so many films that have become my favorites I cannot tell you. On top of that, I changed my major to film studies soon after reading them. I've shared so many of these recommendations with others! Do yourself a favor and buy all 3 Cult Movies books today!(And Guide for the Film Fanatic, and Cult Movie Stars AND Alternate Oscars!)

This review is from: Cult Movies 2: Fifty More of the Classics, the Sleepers, the Weird, and the Wonderful (Paperback)
Author Danny Peary defines "cult movies" as films that elicit a fiery passion in moviegoers long after their initial releases; that have been taken to heart as if they were abandoned orphans in a hostile world, cherished, protected, and enthusiastically championed by segments of the movie audience; that are integral parts of people's lives. This book details 50 of such films, from Ken Russell's 1980 film "Altered States" to The Who's rock opera "Quadrophenia"; from the oft-quoted 1975 "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (a personal favorite of mine) to 1954's "Godzilla, King of the Monsters". There are many stills from the films as well as production credits and plot recaps.
