Save the Cat! Goes to the Movies

In the long-awaited sequel to his surprise bestseller, author and screenwriter Blake Snyder returns tohilarious form in Save the Cat Goes to the Movies, in which he dissects 50 top Hollywood and Independent films from the past 30 years. 'To paraphrase Jodie Foster in the hit movie Contact,' Snyder writes in his Introduction, 'this is an "encyclopedia galactica," a compendium of every story ever told on film.' Using the 10 unique genre categories he coined in the first of the Cat! series, including 'Monster in the House' and 'Dude with a Problem,' the book promises to be just that and the single most useful tool for writers, development executives and movie fans.
