Synopsis
Written by 250 of the best critics, the Time Out Film Guide is a collection of nearly 16,000 engaging and provocative capsule reviews of films across the spectrum of cinema history, from Russian silent movies to American comedies, classic documentaries to Japanese anime, B-movies to Hollywood blockbusters. Each review contains major technical credits, country of origin, running time, color code, copyright year, and cast list. Icons identify the top 100 films named in both readers' and Cinema Centenary polls. Twenty-one appendices classify titles by category and country, while comprehensive indices identify award-winning films, plus the works of important actors and every director covered in the guide. Another index allows readers to search by subject, covering everything from buddy movies to film noir to teen flicks. New features in this edition include color tabs throughout for easy navigation; more color illustrations; 50 filmmaker interviews focusing on current features; and 100 new "cinefile" pages featuring full-color images and more in-depth reviews of classic, oddball, or underrated films.

Review
A film reference book with a distinctly British flavor, the Time Out Film Guide is a collection of capsule reviews written originally for the London magazine Time Out. Its commentary is more lengthy and detailed than that of most other guides, and while some of its critics summarize too much of their movies' plots, their critical remarks are engaging and provocative. The Time Out Film Guide features contributions from scores of movie critics who sometimes spar with one another: compare the book's two assessments of Blade Runner. The reviewers cover many European and Asian movies you won't find in other movie guides. This is the only film book where you can find remarks on Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and Forrest Gump alongside reviews of major films not widely released in America, such as Samuel Beckett and Buster Keaton's Film, Akira Kurosawa's Madadayo, and Michelangelo Antonioni's Identification of a Woman. The Time Out Film Guide also contains a great number of terrific appendices and indices. In fact, it is this book's lists of films by genre, by major film-producing country, by actor, director, and general subject that make it a necessary reference tool for movie lovers.
