Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex-Drugs-and-Rock 'N' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood by Peter Biskind
I enjoyed this book immensely, most likely because it covers my favorite period of movies -- from the late '60s up to the very early '80s -- and many of the best film directors out there. It was great to read details I'd never known about huge movies, e.g. how Spielberg was totally distraught over Jaws, because the shark looked ridiculous, and how his editor basically saved the movie (by cutting it so that the terror was implied by just seeing parts of the shark) and his reputation as a filmmaker at the time.
