The following seems to be the latest edition (1985) of Limbacher:

                 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.

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.
