You're Only as Good as Your Next One: 100 Great Films, 100 Good Films, and 100 for Which I Should Be Shot [Paperback] Medavoy, Mike

**You're Only as Good as Your Next One** serves up Hollywood's rawest truth from someone who's lived it. Mike Medavoy, the legendary producer behind *One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest*, *Apocalypse Now*, and *Philadelphia*, dishes out brutally honest takes on 300 films that defined his career—and cinema itself.

This isn't your typical film criticism. Medavoy divides his picks into three delicious categories: 100 masterpieces, 100 solid hits, and 100 projects he'd rather forget (hence the "should be shot" quip). Each entry reveals the messy, political, and often absurd reality of moviemaking, exploring themes of artistic integrity versus commercial pressure, the evolution of Hollywood, and what separates cinematic gold from expensive disasters.

Perfect for film buffs, aspiring filmmakers, and anyone curious about Tinseltown's inner workings. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks brings you insider Hollywood memoir meets film guide at its most entertaining.
