The following seems to be the latest edition (1985) of Limbacher:
AUTHOR: Limbacher, James L.
TITLE: Feature films : a directory of feature films on 16mm and
videotape available for rental, sale, and lease / compiled
and edited under the direction of James L. Limbacher.
EDITION: 8th ed.
PUBL.: New York ; London : Bowker,
FORMAT: ix, 758 p. ; 29 cm.
DATE: 1985
SUBJECT: Motion pictures--United States--Catalogs.
ISBN: 0835219291 :
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
CONTENTS: Bibliography: p. 749-750.

There used to be updates printed in one of the Library journals, but I
don't recall which one or whether they still do that. Limbacher himself is
retired, I believe.
