5.0 out of 5 stars The most useful guide of its type on the market, August 31, 1998

Considering how tedious it must be to constantly update and check references to compile such a guide, I'm impressed with how well the editors do their jobs. The arrangement of titles is logical and easy to use, and their ratings have been consistent (which certainly helps making a selection at the store). I also prefer their method of including only movies they know are available for rental, unlike other guides.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book simplifies and qualifies the seach for good movies, July 29, 1997

This review is from: Video Movie Guide 1998 (DVD & Video Guide (Quality Paper)) (Paperback)

I have found that this is the book that remains permanently on our coffee table for quick reference on any movie. The reviews are pretty well "spot on" and it is easy to access all the catergories at the drop of a hat. I only wish it were a little more manageable in size so that I could take it to the video store with me to help advise on how good a particular movie is. I have not been able to find a similar book that even comes close to the quality of this, a definite "10"
