Customer Reviews

I bought the smaller version; there is a larger version available.

Each year, a newer version is available, so keep your old ones as you add to the collection. The first edition of Leonard Maltin's Video Guide was published in 1969, and the final edition came out in 2014. Title Changes: Over the years, the guide evolved through several names: TV Movies Leonard Maltin's TV Movies and Video Guide Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide Finally, Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide I almost bought this smaller book as more than a useful book. Then, sitting next to it is the same book, word for word, that has twice the surface for twice the price. Of course, if you are economically conservative and have good eyesight, the smaller book works well. It is always fun to see how close one comes to Leonard’s conclusion, which is not always the same as yours. Yet, if you have not seen the film, you need some sort of guide. And to get a feel for how he thinks when making his judgments, there is an introduction covering how he rated some of the most popular films. Be sure to read the section “Key to This Book” as it tells the different media or lack of for each film. Some films are included because of their popularity, even if there are no recorded media, such as “John Goldfarb Please Come Home” (1965). Once again, in the version I purchased, many of my favorites have been left out, such as “Out There” (1995) and “Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death” (1989), based on “Heart of Darkness.” However, with 19,000+ entries, you will be kept busy trying to find out what else is missing.
