Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide is a book-format collection of movie capsule reviews that began in 1969 and has been updated yearly since 1987. It was originally called TV Movies, which became Leonard Maltin's TV Movies and Video Guide, which then became Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide. Leonard Maltin edits it and contributes a large portion of its reviews.

One of the defining features of Maltin's work is that each review includes a reference to the source material for the film if it is based on previously published material.

In 2005, logistical problems of a single book prompted him to launch a companion volume, Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide, restricted to films from 1960 and earlier, several of which no longer appear in the annual publication (some had been deleted over the years to make room for newer films, others removed at this point because the additional venue allowed it) and many others that never had. The latter category includes the "complete" (according to Maltin's introduction) Saturday matinee cowboy programmers of John Wayne, William "Hopalong Cassidy" Boyd, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.

The book uses a four star rating system. The lowest rating is "BOMB," followed by one and a half stars, rising in half-star increments to a maximum of four stars.

Similar books include Movies on TV, by Steven H. Scheuer, Halliwell's Film Guide, by Leslie Halliwell, and The Good Film and Video Guide, by David Shipman.
