Review
It is not that source material is lacking--the guide is based on the landmark 27-volume American work, The Motion Picture Guide, which contains a staggering 41,000 entries. Rather, by limiting the number of films covered, the Virgin guide (as thick a volume as any of its competitors) is able to devote much more space to each review--and in a larger and more readable typeface than that of most other guides. Each review includes the usual information: year of release, country of origin and BBFC classification. Where the Virgin guide is unusual is in its extensive cast and crew listings, and in the length of the review itself--each entry features a synopsis, a critical appraisal and usually a few interesting facts about the production thrown in for good measure.
The selective nature of the volume does produce some anomalies: to take just one example, the first and fourth Lethal Weapon films appear, but not the intervening two. Moreover, the notion of a "key film" is a very subjective one, and fans of specific genres might find that a few films which they consider important are not present in the guide. That said, readers with reasonably mainstream tastes will not be unduly troubled by these omissions, and it would be a rare reader indeed who did not get anything at all from this well-produced volume. --John Oates
