The third edition of the UK?s most comprehensive movie book is published on Thursday 3 October ? the Radio Times Guide to Films 2003.

Completely revised and updated since last year?s sell-out second edition, the guide features authoritative reviews of more than 21,000 titles from a century of cinema, covering everything from the greatest box office successes to the embarrassing TV movies that celebrities would rather forget about. There are 1,800 new reviews for films recent and old and an introduction by Radio Times Film Editor Andrew Collins.

Each entry is accompanied by details of cast, characters, directors, writers and selected technicians as well as an exclusive Radio Times star rating. The guide also includes family viewing advice, the year of release, running time, genre, official British Board of Film Classification certificate and information about availability on video and DVD.

As well as the A-Z directory of films, the Radio Times Guide to Films 2003 contains indices of actors and directors (now with birth and, as applicable, death dates where available) plus a list of alternative titles and an international awards section with details of the top winners and nominees from the Academy Awards and British Academy Film Awards, plus key winners at the Film Festivals in Cannes and Berlin.

The book is supported by the fully interactive Radio Times film website, available online at www.radiotimes.com/film.
