Say Anything: The Movie Quote Game That Takes You Back to the '80s One Line at a Time

by Peter T. Fornatale, Frank Scatoni

Bizarre facts, uproariously funny photos, and goofy trivia for the '80s movie fan

For people who came of age watching Footloose , Dirty Dancing , and Fast Times at Ridgemont High , Say Anything is a funny and completely addictive book that tests just how much of an '80s buff one really is. Not since Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (Plume) have movie fanatics been handed such a humorous tool for testing their archives of trivia knowledge. Here's how it readers get a single line from an '80s film and then are asked to guess the name of the movie and the character and/or actor who made the line famous.

With more than five hundred memorable quotes, plus special theme sections on topics like "slasher flicks," John Hughes' movies, and the brilliant career of Molly Ringwald, Say Anything is the perfect handbook for the '80s pop-culture junkie.

About the author

Bestselling author Peter Thomas Fornatale has spent a good part of the last two decades drinking in Brooklyn. He's also been a publishing professional in that time frame at Simon and Schuster and Random House. He took cocktail classes from legendary New York bartender (and author) Dale DeGroff and spent a summer supporting a horseracing habit by bartending at the acclaimed Chez Sophie in Saratoga Springs. Cocktails are literally in his blood: his grandfather, John T. Flynn, was a brand manager at Seagram's for many decades. He is also a site coordinator at The Park Slope CSA, putting him in close touch with the best local ingredients (and the people who buy them).
