I really enjoyed this primarily because it made me think critically about movies I've loved for decades, and provided some suggestions as to why I'm not all that excited about movies made today (but do love several TV shows.) Freeman is opinionated, sure, but that's kind of the point of the book- I disagree with other reviewers who didn't like it for that reason. I learned a lot about the actors, producers and directors who were active during the 80's, and how studios worked then in very different ways than they do now. What will stay with me most, however, is the desire to rewatch almost every title she mentions- especially those that I somehow missed the first time around. If you love the movies of the 80's and have a feminist slant, this is a lot of fun.
