It's so seldom that you pick up a piece of software on impulse and are
bowled over by it's quality, that I thought I would pass on the info.

The Banner Blue Movie Guide contains 9,800 short reviews of movies, their
acting leads, awards nominated and awarded, critical acclaim and box-office
success.  On any screen, clicking on an actor, director, sub-catagory, etc
will build a custom list of movies.  Your looking at the "Misery" entry,
and wonder what other movies Kathy Bates is in, click on her name and the
list is constructed.  Prebuilt searchs are provided for 4 star releases,
office blockbusters, best films of the year, classics and kids favorites to
name a few.

The movie guide list for $44.95, but the low streetprice is $14.95 at
Egghead.  Full mouse and keyboard support.  And for you laptop luggers, it
will run from a CGA/floppy beast.  Updates are available periodically.  The
current release contains movies as recent as 'A League of Our Own".  There
is even a screen to record your own ratings and to mark movies that you
want to see.
