The Guide To The Movies

Whether you're a "Fried Green Tomatoes" type of movie fan or "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!" is more your speed, chances are your favorite movie is reviewed in the updated version of a classic movie guide.

The book, called "Leonard Maltin's 2007 Movie Guide" (Plume, $20), features reviews of more than 17,000 movies-including more than 300 movies that were not featured in any of the book's previous editions.

Each movie review includes comprehensive information on date of release, running time, cast and crew and MPAA ratings. It also features authoritative notations on format availability, up-to-date indices of top directors and actors and Maltin's "Fifty More Films You May Have Missed."

Maltin wrote his first movie guide while still in high school. Since that first edition, his movie guides have become vital parts of many movie buffs' collections. They've even been called "indispensable" by the Los Angeles Times and "Head and shoulders above the rest" by The New York Times.

Maltin has published a companion volume, "Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide," which focuses exclusively on films made prior to 1960.
