Synopsis

Welcome to the 2009 edition of the Radio Times Guide to Films. With a grand total of 22,123 films (an increase of 350 on last year and including 532 new entries), this ninth edition of the Guide boasts better coverage than ever. The new entries comprise films released in UK cinemas during the past 12 months, and movies, old and new, that have been screened on television or become available on DVD during the same time period and have never before appeared in the Guide. And, as always, we aim to be the most up-to-date film guide on the market, thanks to the advance work of our dedicated reviewers. You will find a large number of reviews for movies that hadn t made it to cinemas in the UK at the time of going to press, and 20 previews clearly signposted of major upcoming films that were not available for review prior to our deadline. Making way for these new entries are minor productions with limited availability that have slipped off TV channel transmission lists and are not on DVD. The Radio Times Guide to Films covers a wide range of cinema; we haven t limited our selection to mainstream UK and US movies, but also include European films, significant and interesting works of world cinema, and even underground and experimental films a cross-section of 20th- and 21st-century cinema. Some film series may be represented here selectively, to give you a feel for their character and style. Many straight-to-DVD/video movies are included, as are made-for-television films, except for British TV productions, which are treated as dramas rather than films by Radio Times. As high-definition formats begin to dominate, we have added information on Blu-ray and HD DVD availability to complement the existing DVD information. At the same time, videos are increasingly limited to the second-hand market and the internet. So, with availability becoming unpredictable, the video information has been removed. If you have any recommendations or changes that you d like us to incorporate into the next edition of the Guide, please get in touch. Your contributions are invaluable, and we would be delighted to hear all your comments and suggestions.
