Between 1946 and 1964 seventy-five million babies were born, dwarfing the generations that preceded and succeeded them. At each stage of its life-cycle, the baby boom's great size has dictated the terms of national policy and public debate. While aspects of this history are well-documented, the relationship between the baby boom and Hollywood has never been explored. And yet, for almost 40 years, baby boomers made up the majority of Hollywood's audience, and since the 1970s, boomers have dominated movie production. Hollywood and the Baby Boom weaves together interviews with leading filmmakers, archival research and the memories of hundreds of ordinary filmgoers to tell the full story of Hollywood's relationship with the boomers for the first time. The authors demonstrate the profound influence of the boomers on the ways that movies were made, seen and understood since the 1950s. The result is a compelling new account that draws upon an unprecedented range of sources, and offers new insights into the history of American movies.

Screenwriter Jim Kouf won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Motion Picture with this sharply written screenplay about a Seattle detective (Richard Dreyfuss) who falls in love with the woman he's supposed to be watching on a stakeout. Kouf turns the usual standard cop story conventions on their head and accents the tale with some very clever dialogue.
Containing the most extensive listing of movies available on video and a multitude of cross-referencing within its 10 primary indexes, this new edition includes 1,000 new movies (23,000 in all), expanded indexing, a fresh new introduction and more of the beloved categories.
Edgar Allan Poe Award winning writer Jim Kouf and co-writer Ross La Manna created this clever Martial-arts meets stand-up, knock-down comedy. La Manna's story follows a Hong Kong inspector who is paired with a rogue LAPD officer. The two mismatched partners set out to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Chinese diplomat. The film was the winner of various awards from Blockbuster, MTV, People's Choice, ALMA, and others. It also served as a cross-over vehicle for Jackie Chan's inimitable slapstick acrobatics.
Another writing collaboration between Kouf and Greenwalt created this sweet-natured tale of high school love and angst. On the last day of class, a teenage boy receives an exciting but anonymous love letter. This is the first of several such letters, which fall into the hands of numerous unintended readers. This 1985 romantic teen comedy was also Greenwalt's directorial debut.

During a lifetime in professional sports, Jim Finks touched nearly every rung on the ladder. As a player during the National Football League's Golden Era of the 1950's, Finks suffered a broken neck making a tackle and later survived to become a Pro Bowl quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He coached Paul Hornung to a Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame in 1956 before cutting his teeth as general manager of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. From Canada, Finks headed south to help build Super Bowl teams as GM of the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. He even brought his winning touch to baseball as president of the Chicago Cubs in 1984 before rescuing the New Orleans Saints from pigskin purgatory and elevating them to playoff respectability. Finks spent 26 years as an NFL general manager and was a strong candidate to replace Pete Rozelle as commissioner in 1989 while earning NFL executive of the year awards in 1973 and 1987. Jim Finks was admired for his honesty and integrity in a business where the shafts and knives often fill the air. Finks was a unique individual, and "It's Been a Pleasure" will impart even more of that wisdom.
