5.0 out of 5 stars
A howling great guide,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Videohounds Golden Movie (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever) (Paperback)
This is the by far BEST movie guide I have found. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. It has real honest reviews from the perspective of a moviegoer that just wants to be entertained , not that overly intellectual stuff you read sometimes and say, "Did this reviewer see the same movie as I did"? The reviews are fun to read and very funny at times. But don't kid yourself, it is all here. Foreign films, samurai, westerns, 50's sci-fi, art films, you name it. And it has a categories index so you can quickly locate all the films in your personal favorite type of film. This book is huge! No other guide I have seen tries to include every film ever made, the other review books snobbily skip the movies they decide are not important. Not this book, it has over 25,000 films!!! This is very comprehensive, which makes this book much bigger than the other guys guides. But that is OK, I hate the other reviewers guides since they do not have all the movies this one does. Very easy to use and locate a film quickly. You can cross reference anything with the great index and layout of this guide. Indexes to look up films by director, writer, composer, cinematographer, or actor, awards, series, as well as title or alternate titles. Even has an internet guide. I have bought quite a few movie guides, but if I could only have one, this is it.

By
This review is from: Videohounds Golden Movie (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever) (Paperback)
This book is so much better than the Leonard Maltin paperbacks that I have purchased in the past. It is full of more information, it is bigger and easier to read and it certainly can not get lost. It is a valuable part of our living room. I love having it right there to help in choosing our viewing selections. I like to highlight the movies that we have seen and compare notes with the review after!

Best of Breed,
This review is from: Videohounds Golden Movie (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever) (Paperback)
I've purchased the Hound for each of the last 5 years and although it's not perfect, I've never come across a guide that's even close to being as comprehensive, informative and amusing.Unlike one of the reviews below, I can't claim to know what all "viewers" will or won't like, but assuming you have a sense of humor, the bone scale won't annoy you too much, and chances are you'll find that you agree with most the ratings. Although I've certainly disagreed with several of the reviews, it's not at all off-putting if you take into account the extremely subjective nature of the film viewing experience. A couple of the sections in the back are fairly useless, but in terms of cross-indexing cast crew and films, there's no other book that provides as exhaustive a listing. I'm a big fan of the Hound, and if you're a film buff, trivia buff or simply like to add to your film knowledge, I'm guessing you will be too, once you've used it.
