Product Description:
Leonard Maltin's comprehensive film guide remains the biggest, best, and most authoritative in the field. The 2008 edition will feature more than 18,000 entries, and updated indexes of leading performers.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Hopefully not the only game in town in the future.
Hopefully Mick Martin and Marsha Porter will be able to get their much more comprehensive annual movie guide back into print.The Leonard Maltin book is considered "comprehensive" (apparently by less than avid movie fans) but contains far fewer titles than the Martin/Porter guide.Fonts and symbols make the text difficult to read.And where on earth did the editors learn to alphabetize?The supplemental indices are sorely lacking.The only advantage this guide has over the other is a longer ...

Rating: - Very Thorough Movie Guide
You will not be disappointed with this guide. With so many choices of TV movies and DVD rentals, use this guide to make your best choices.
Rating: - Actor Index Lacking
After years of buying the DVD and Video Guide by Martin and Porter, I accidentally purchased Leonard Maltin's book last August 2007.

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 days.They do not show the credits at the end of the movies.Neither do they inform us during a movie "you are watching so and so and so."Mr. Maltin's guide takes away the frustration of these iniquitous acts by the cable companies.
Thank you
