By helping to close the knowledge gap between average movieg oers and incorrigible Snobs, the dictionary lets you in on hidden gems that film geeks have been hoarding (such as Douglas Sirk and Guy Madd in movies) while exposing the trash that Snobs inexplicably laud (e.g. , most chop-socky films and Mexican wrestling pictures).
