The new, fully updated edition of the brand leader of film guides, now with easy to follow symbols for film classification and information. Halliwell’s is regarded by film critics and by the press to be the indispensable guide to cinema.

Over 22,000 films are chronicled in this immense guide. No other film book has the breadth, the scope, the knowledge or the wit of Halliwell’s, which is the most comprehensive and authoritative guide available. This 1998 edition is more informative than ever before.

With symbols for easy-to-find information on:

Video availability · UK and US laser disc availability · Star-rating · Running times · Academy Award details · Music CD availability · Family viewing suitability

Plus Halliwell’s provides uniquely entertaining assessments, quote from the films and the critics and full production details (unlike any other guide).

Halliwell’s is the only choice for film fans

Review:
This monster is quite simply the king of movie guides. Halliwell's Film and Video Guide 2001 contains more than 23,000 entries, creating a competition for space that allows most films only a quick-and-dirty single sentence review. Which is not to say that the book is in any way less than thorough--the terse sentences manage to be enormously telling: (How I Got into College is quietly damned with the description, "Mildly amusing teenage comedy"; Rabbit Test is scorched with "Dreary and tasteless film, the nadir of comedy"; and Strictly Ballroom is lauded with "Exuberant, charming, witty romance acted and directed with style and verve".) As its tendency toward clipped writing may suggest, Halliwell's is no Santa Claus film guide--movies must earn each star awarded. Four stars go only to groundbreaking masterpieces like Rashomon, and one can flip through page after page without seeing a three-star movie. Most of the two-star films are pretty good, just not quite up to this guide's refreshingly exacting standards. For those who want only the best, Halliwell's handily provides lists of three- and four-star films, sorted by both title and year, in the back. One could get an excellent film education simply by working through both lists: the four-star category includes movies as diverse as Pelle the Conqueror, Alien and Duck Soup. Halliwell's pulls no punches with either criticism or praise. It is a must-have for movie lovers. --Ali Davis
