Summary

This annual edition of the Time Out Film Guide has been expanded with six new credit fields (producer, scriptwriter, photographer, editor, designer, and composer) and extended cast lists for over 12,500 films in every genre -- from B-rated horror films to Japanese cinema to Hollywood mainstream -- over 400 new reviews, and award listings from the 1999 Berlin, Venice, and Cannes festivals and for the Oscars. Delivering honest, incisive, informed, and contentious, criticism, with a readers' Top One Hundred poll, stronger international coverage than any other film guide, and extensive indexes covering films by country, genre, subject, director, and actor, this is the ultimate guide for movie lovers of all inclinations.
