“The Only Film Guide that Matters”

24,000 movies listed - classics, world cinema, Oscar winners and everything in between

 ”The undisputed bible for film enthusiasts every where…”says Amazon. However some fans of the series have been disappointed by the new editor’s star rating choices (no more John Walker), reviews of the film that are too long  and the lack of italics for outstanding performance contributions —–what do you think?
