Summary: Best Comprehensive Film Guide EVER
Review: I bought every edition of this film guide until they apparently stopped making it in 1994. What a shame! The reviews are almost always dead-on and occasionally very funny. Also, the reviews are thoughtful and insightful despite being relatively brief. Still, this is one of the few movie guides that managed to say everything it needed to in a single paragraph to get its point across.In the later editions (like this one) there was an appendix included so you could easily see all films made by a certain actor or director, which was very helpful. The four star rating system was expertly used in this guide as well (generally, I prefer the 4-star system to the somewhat more prevalent 5-star), and small indicators let you know if the film is available on video or not. One of the best features of this book was that it included made-for-TV films as well as those getting a theatrical release, plus many, many foreign films. This book should be revised, updated, and published again!
