The Medford Public Library is co-sponsoring an online talk with author Scott Ryan about his new book, “The Last Decade of Cinema: 25 Films from the Nineties” (release date June 18). Movies were something in the 1990s. The decade began with “GoodFellas” and ended with “Magnolia,” with such films as “Malcolm X,” “Before Sunrise,” and “Clueless” arriving somewhere in between. Stories, characters and writing were king. If you’re a fan, a movie buff, or just a child of the ’90s, join this conversation as Ryan discusses what made these films classics, and why they could never be produced in today’s film culture.
