This is it. Better than the bible. Read and BELIEVE.

The best film guide period

This is the single best guide to film ever made; and the biggest flaw is that they've never made another sequel for recent movies.This book can be enjoyed on two levels; on one hand, it is a film review book that has rated many different movies out there, and it is also excellent satire. I've actually bought movies that were recommended by this book.In short, if you like movies, get this book.

The best video guide I've borrowed, guess I should return it

This book is so damn funny, it's sick. Wait, this is a video guide! This is the perfect companion for the pot smoker, but equally enjoyable to the non-smoker. In fact, if your an LSD user, this book MUST be in your possession! This book will introduce many old standbys while introducing new flicks you probably never new existed. Buy it if you can't borrow it.

More than just the sum of its parts.

OK, Yes I'm just another stoner from Portland, OR, and I cannot say enough about this book's merits along the lines of: "Great Movie Reviews," "Great Stoner Humor," et all. And yet for me, it was so much more than that. This book, almost more than any other, manages to capture the ineffable subjectivity of the movie-viewing-stoner with almost Proustian elan. From personal memories which have an almost universal ring, to completely off the wall tangents that yet bear the ring of truth, this book exposes the act of movie watching for the intensely personal experience that it is for all of us, and brings us together in that fragile realization. And it's very, very funny. Read it. Now. Thank you for your time.

Brilliant film guide -- not just for stoners!

If you buy this book and you're a pot smoker: 1. Read the book sober first. It's extremely funny and generally accurate descriptions of films will make you want to see stuff you've probably forgotten by now. 2. Get stoned. Read it again. Mark the films that, when reviewed, make you laugh the most. 3. Rent those films. 4. Recommend book to all your friends. If you're not a stoner: All rules apply except the first part of #2.
