Essential Film Books - Walter Murch Edition

I figured since it has become Walter Murch day, I would list these three books which are essential reads for any filmmaker:

In The Blink Of An Eye
- This is the book on film editing both practical and philosophically. It is also a nice look into the Easy Riders, Raging Bulls generation from someone who was there.

Behind The Scene
- This book chronicles how Walter Murch and his team used Apple's Final Cut Pro to edit the feature film Cold Mountain. Revolutionary at the time for using an off the shelf software program to edit a major feature film. It gives a nice insight into the nuts and bolts of film editing as well as an interesting look into Apple.

The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Film Editing
- Author Michael Ondaatje talks with Murch about film editing. Fascinating discussions and you get a lot more of Murch's philosophy and intelligence on film editing.
