The Ultimate Companion for Film Buffs

Leonard Maltin is possibly my favorite critic. His taste is the best of all the thick film guidebooks. I also have the Mick Martin and Marsha Porter guide, they give films like Speed 5 out of 5 stars...pathetic. I have read maybe 20 off track reviews in Maltin's book...out of thousands. He's great, he's awesome, he's the most trustworthy...BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU RESPECT FILM!


one important omission

loved the book and everything about it , bein an old hollywood movie buff, its such a help to me, one thing that bothers me about the book is the omission of raul walsh the director of many fine classic movies such as WHITE HEAT with james cagney, somebody get ahold of ole leonard boy and tell him to list him its drivin me crazy LOL

How'd I live without one?

I picked up my very first copy of this invaluable resource (1993 edition) at a yard sale several years ago. Now, of course, I buy one annually and pass the old version along to favored friends and relatives. My two adult sons refuse, however, to be recipients ("we'd rather call and ask YOU for the information!") I refer to my guide daily at the very least (can you tell I love movies?), usually far more often on the weekends. I keep a copy in the living room and one next to my bedside. But really, I AM a relatively normal person with a full life --- honest!!

Worth checking out.

Its been said once I will say it again. Any film buff must buy this book, and more works by Leonard Maltin.
You can tell when Leonard Maltin starts talking about a movie he knows just what he his talking about and has the words to perfectly explain himself.

Sometimes however I feel he could be more insiteful when it comes to movies he hates.
But then on the other hand theirs only a few million movies list her.


Most reliable

I also know the Blockbuster Entertainment and the Martin/Porter guides, and I have to say that Maltin's is by far the most reliable. The reviews are precise and informative, and although he only gives the films up to 4 stars (the other two guides have 5), the ratings give a better idea of the films quality.

reviews: page 1, 2



Updated annually, the 1998 edition of Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide contains reviews of more than 19,000 movies, from 1914's Cabiria and Tillie's Punctured Romance to 1997's Con Air and Batman and Robin. The book lists each film's director and major cast members, tells whether it is in black and white or color, and provides the movie's running time. It rates each film from **** to BOMB, notes whether or not the movie was made in wide-screen format, and records its availability on videocassette and laser disc. The brief reviews that accompany this documentation are tersely written, filled with enthusiasm and humor. Maltin's indices of famous stars and directors make the volume a mini-encyclopedia. Every movie lover should have a copy of Maltin's text.
