5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable and Portable!, January 11, 2002
By Patricia A. Bunner (Fairview, West Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For its size, it is a wonderfully useful book. I have 20 or so books on videos and this is the most used over the past 4 - 5 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jim Riffel does it again, November 26, 1997
By A Customer
Jim Riffel always gives a great value. If you want the best guide to videos this is it. You might also check out his video on Howard Stern which is amazing and truthful.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a ripoff, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This book's contents and even it's title are a ripoff of other people's work. Although the idea of a quick guide is right on, if all you do is rent Jim's favorite movies then you might as well just hire him to do all your thinking for you.
