The Collected Works of Paddy Chayefsky: The
Screenplays: The Hospital/Network/Altered States
by Paddy Chayefsky
Volume 2
Paperback
The first two are perhaps the last great satires written for the screen
("Network" coined the phrase: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it
anymore!"); "Altered States" is the screenplay that got buried somewhere
beneath Ken Russell's filmed version of it.

Crash
by David Cronenberg
Paperback, 120 pages
Lots of movies are called "controversial"; Cronenberg's is the real thing.
This slow-hand examination of a sub-culture centred on sex and auto accidents split the
Cannes Film Festival and gave Ted Turner the heebie-jeebies; read it before it's banned in
your neighbourhood.
