Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In the long-awaited sequel to his surprise bestseller, author and screenwriter Blake Snyder returns to hilarious 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.
