Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2009 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever)

This is the 4th Videohound book that I have purchased over the past 10 years. The information is presented in short, sweet, concise paragraphs that cut straight to the point. The greatest feature of the Videohound books is the cross-reference ability. This book has settled many an argument in my house about the year of a film or who was in it. A must have if you live with a trivia buff. Excellent for finding obscure films that you didn't know were hiding out there somewhere. Well worth the money, an excellent gift for that hard to buy for person.

I've tried about all the movie info books and the Hound is with the most.

I buy the VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever every single year. My two sons each buy their own. We have never found a more comprehensive guide to movies. If they ever stop making this book, we will be very disappointed!

This is an invaluable resource for any movie lover. I get a new edition every year and pass the previous one to my friends, who are delighted to get it. If you've ever watched a movie on TV and couldn't remember, "What other movies did this director make?" or "In what other movies have I seen this actor?" OR "For which other movies did this composer write music?" etc,. you can look it up here. It has a Categories Index if you can't remember the title of a film, an Awards index if you want to know who won the Oscar any given year, and every film is reviewed and rated; plus, it tells you if a film is available on DVD, videotape, or both, and its length, year of release, country of origin, language, subtitles, etc. LOVE IT!!!
