In the 1990s my main guide to film was a copy of #LeonardMaltin's Movie Guide. I used it to find out about movies by my favorite actors and directors. I literally read through the entirety of my first copy and marked which films I'd seen.
I didn't always agree with Maltin but if he gave a movie three and a half or four stars I thought it was worth tracking down while most movies he rated one and a half stars or BOMB (Bottom Of The Barrel) were safe to ignore (unless someone I trusted contradicted his opinion).
I am curious if #FilmBuffs from the era (80s-90s) had the guide (poll) and also what they thought of it (comment).
