From: Amazon Posted: Mar 01, 2006 Type: User Review A Good Companion that shouldn't stand alone

A good book for lovers of old movies who hate browsing through the 1600 pages of Maltin's regular guide only to find the film their looking for between a BOMB by Adam Sandler and a Yugoslavian-Japanese Documentary nobody has ever heard of. The...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 04, 2005 Type: User Review Leonard Maltin`s Ripoff

I heard that Leonard Maltin was putting 1960 & older films in a separate book so I decided to purchase a copy along with the annual movie guide. When I started looking through the 2006 edition, I noticed that there were still hundreds of 1960 &...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 27, 2005 Type: User Review Useful for fans of older obscure movies, including some B westerns

A book not meant to do everything for all movie fans, but for its intended audience, highly useful - not as a replacement for Maltin's main book, Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide, but as a supplement and complement. Don't buy it as your main...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 07, 2005 Type: User Review Classic Ripoff

"Classic" implies a degree of excellence. Instead, this book is merely a compilation of movies from the silents through the 50's without regard to merit---from bomb to 4 star. I bought this thinking it was devoted to truly good movies from...

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 28, 2005 Type: User Review too little - too soon

Leonard Maltin put this book out too soon. It seems like a rush job.There are hundreds of films repeated from his classic and, what is worse, there are hundreds of available films that he skips. Many films on TCM this month (April) where missing....

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 18, 2005 Type: User Review Solid first shot at another essential Maltin reference book

As new movies proliferate but Leonard Maltin's bestselling Movie Guide remains more or less constant at 4" thick and about 18,000 entries, more and more minor old movies have gotten squeezed out (even as they become more and more available on TV)....
