	Leslie Halliwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Bolton, Lancashire, Halliwell was captivated by the films from an early age.
		Halliwell's professional knowledge of the entire gamut of cinema is still seen in his encyclopedias The Filmgoers' Companion (first published 1965), Halliwell's Film Guide (first published 1977) and Halliwell's Television Companion (first published 1979 as Halliwell's Teleguide).
		Halliwell died of cancer in a hospice in Esher, Surrey.

		Upholding the outstanding tradition of Leslie Halliwell, editor John Walker delivers the breadth, detail, succinctness, knowledge, and wit that have always been the hallmarks of Halliwell's.
		Halliwell's death in 1989 have paralleled what is more typically found in other popular reviewers, which, while mildly disappointing, still does not detract materially from the continuing power of the work.
		Halliwell with a few warts is still far and away the best, given that the essential Halliwell remains.

		This inaccurate and stingy bio of Truffaut in "Halliwell's Who's Who" should be compared with the detailed bio in Ephraim Katz' "The Film Encyclopedia," where approximately 1000 words are devoted to his biography in addition to the complete list of his films (with both the US and French titles).
		Leslie Halliwell(1929-1989) was the publisher of this informative and extremely enjoyable reference book on many of the cinema's most influental figures.
		Halliwell's book is also unique in that it includes a list of technical terms that are extremely vital in the motion picture industry, as well as a list of popular film series, and a complete list of Academy Award winners.

	Halliwell's Film & Video Guide 2003:Halliwell, Leslie:0060508906:eCampus.com
		For over 20 years, film enthusiasts, trivia buffs, and ordinary movie watchers alike have consulted the pages of "Halliwell's Film & Video Guide for the most comprehensive information available on their favorite films -- from the classics of the silver screen to the latest blockbusters.
		Halliwell's also features easy-to-interpret icons denoting film suitable for family viewing, winners of Academy Awards and nominations, sountrack availability, computer-colorized versions, and video format compatibility.
		Additionally, reader's will find lists of four-star and three-star films arranged by title and by year of release, and a list of all the Oscar winners for best picture and director, best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress, and best original screen play and adapted screenplay.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I doubted I would be interesting in purchasing this edition, since Halliwell hadn't had anything to do with the choosing of films that have been released since his death or the rating of them; but after fifteen minutes of perusal, I was a) convinced I wouldn't buy it, and b) peeved.
		To quote Wayne (who Halliwell would almost certainly have detested), "Not." Halliwell did give better ratings to films quality films, particularly ones which were good entertainment to boot (he detested modern "message" films), but he never got out of the habit of making his rare kudos of current films have a backhand nature.
		While all of these are complaints against the new edition, I think #3, the changing of Halliwell's old ratings by the new editor, is the big problem I have with this edition, and why I would recommend that you stay away from the 8th edition.

	Amazon.co.uk: Halliwell's Who's Who in the Movies: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This inaccurate and stingy bio of Truffaut in "Halliwell's Who's Who" should be compared with the detailed bio in Ephraim Katz' "The Film Encyclopedia," where approximately 1000 words are devoted to his biography, not counting the complete film list with both the French and US titles.
		There are about 120 pages of appendices in Halliwell, many of which are both useful and unique to "Halliwell's Who's Who." If you already own Ephraim Katz' "The Encyclopedia of Film" there is little reason to purchase "Halliwell's Who's Who in Film," except for some of the appendices, an expensive purchase.
		For some film makers the biography in "Halliwell's" may be limited to two words, such as "American director." Eric Rohmer's bio is limited to a single dismissive and mildly insulting remark: "French director of rarefied conversation pieces." Robert Bresson fares little better.

		Halliwell's is an excellent film reference book and it's format is particularly useful when compared to the other books on the market.
		The only problem with Halliwell's is it's confusing star rating system in which most films don't have stars unless they are particularly note-worthy.
		"Halliwell's Film, Video and DVD Guide" has a sound reputation, and to some extent its reviews are the most conservative insofar as they do achieve a balance which the other titles don't.

		"Halliwell's guide is for anyone seriously interested in film." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
		The first thing I noticed about Halliwell was that he used the entire 4-star scale in a consistent way.
		Halliwell's system takes some getting used to, but once you see the value in it (if you give it enough time), the pay-off is worthwhile.

	the agony booth forum - Halliwellophobia
		I have yet to find a single person who is sad that Leslie Halliwell is dead.
		I was leafing through a newer one, and a lot of editing has been done, but based on the 1983 book he also had a knack for blowing twist endings for no...reason...at...ALL.
		Halliwell also claimed that the film didn't do well at the box-office outside of the big cities; that only pretentious intellectuals liked it.

	Print Article: The Big Picture: Real Heroes of Telemark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		British television presenter and survival expert Ray Mears claims the 1965 Hollywood movie, The Heroes of Telemark, in which Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris blow up a German heavy water plant in Norway with a little help from their friends, was a pale imitation of the real achievement.
		Some of this is purely show-off, a trailer for next week's final episode, in which Norwegian and British survivors describe the successful raid and their own survival techniques.
		It works well enough and the scenery is handsome, but clips borrowed from the movie are as poor as Halliwell suggests.
