Na het behalen van een journalistieke graad, publiceerde Maltin artikelen in tal van filmtijdschriften en kranten. Hij is het best bekend om zijn uitgebreide filmgids, jaarlijks bijgewerkt met samenvattingen en recensies, naast andere werken die dieper ingaan op cinematografie, de geschiedenis van Amerikaanse animatie en biografieën van filmsterren.
