This guide is far more informative than the Time Out film guide, which I had been buying for years. Includes details on soundtracks, production companies, BAFTA and Academy award info and video and DVD format details.

This is an indispensable book if you want to know a bit more about movies. It gives cast and crew listings for each film and provides a little insight into the movies by way of the author's own comments and for some films, those of the popular critics that reviewed the movies at the time of release. There's lots of little facts about the movies without getting too bogged down in detail. If you like movie trivia or you're just curious to see someone else's opinions about your favourite films, this book's for you.

Having been bought this book for Christmas I thought it might be some good,Ive got the guide to actors and thats great. This book however is really a poor read. The reviewer seems to be out of touch with what realy makes a good movie , too much nit picking of films that have be regarded as classics without box office sales to back them up.
