Reader Reviews
Have you noticed? There are two versions of this book (the other is Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide 2008 (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide)) and they seem identical except for the price. But there IS another difference: the size! This one is cheaper, but also smaller -- 7 inches tall instead of 8. That may not sound like much, but it really makes a difference. The two books have exactly the same pages, just at different sizes, and this one's reduced type is, to me at least, much harder to read. Unless you have perfect vision, I think you'll be happier with the other version. Size aside, this is an exhaustive reference work. It lists every movie made from 1960 through early 2007, as well as most major films before then. Each listing has a star rating and short summary of its film as well as key specs (director, major cast, running time and year released) and icons identify whether each film has been released on DVD, videocassette or laserdisc. There's also a list of mail order and online sources for obscure titles, and, on the last 57 pages, an index of actors. Want a quick list of every movie ever made by Humphrey Bogart? Reese Witherspoon? Jim Carrey? Here's where to find them. Overall, this is a great book for any movie fan. The back cover features a recommendation by Roger Ebert.
