From: Amazon Posted: Jun 25, 2008 Type: User Review Encyclopedia Of Movies

Mr. Maltin has done a great service to movie buffs like myself. It's very important to me to know the names of the actors while watching the so-called old movies on TCM and AMC.

I don't know what's wrong with these channels now...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 19, 2008 Type: User Review A staple in our house

Where would we be without this wonderfully helpful, sixteen-hundred-page book? Not only do Maltin and staff discuss and rate movies, they now include brief filmographies of the biggest movie stars and best-known directors.

IMHO...

From: Amazon Posted: May 19, 2008 Type: User Review Missing Movies

I bought the newest version of this book last week. The FIRST time I tried to use it to look up a movie, it was NOT among the "17,000 titles," despite having been made in the 90s, and including such stars as George C. Scott, Catherine Zeta Jones,...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 26, 2008 Type: User Review Great Resource Guide

I agree with others reviews about quite a few of the 2007 movies not being included. That being said, if you are looking for a complete resource to help you build your DVD home-delivery queue, this is it.

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 26, 2008 Type: User Review OH, SO MANY, AND SO LITTLE TIME

A great guide for movies you want to see; and for those you don't want to see. Very comprehensive, and does not force feed the reader into liking or disliking the review. As objective as one could be. CAUTION: if over the age of 50, the print...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 15, 2008 Type: User Review Maltin Movie Guide

Bible for anyone into movies. Even with IMDB and google at your fingertips, it's still nice to have the original hard copy guide. Nice to see directors index put back in after being removed from earlier editions.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 22, 2008 Type: User Review Good to have a hardcopy

Pretty complete and fair reviews. Yes, you can get better on-line, but if you are flipping through cable, it is nice to have this nearby. All movies are in alphabetical order.

Best of its kind.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 18, 2008 Type: User Review Malton's condensed reviews

Book is just too dense to be enjoyed; i.e., used as a reference work. Better layout needed, make browsing pleasant. Need more info on actual movie vs all the personnel.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 18, 2008 Type: User Review Why did the publisher screw up a good thing

Leonard Maltin's 2008 Movie Guide (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide (Signet))

Why on earth did they reduce the overall size of the book, and worse yet the type font size has been reduced.
