 Internet
Movie Database
A great site for movie lovers! Arguably
the best place to find information about
a specific film, the Internet Movie Database
can help you find details for over 200,000
titles – not only regular films, but
also TV films and TV shows. You can find
information about cast and crew, ratings
and reviews, plot summaries and memorable
quotes, related websites, pictures, etc.
Also, under 'Fun stuff' are treats for the
real movie fanatic: movie trivia, and goofs
- small inconsistencies that only the most
attentive viewers pick up on. This is a
movie site for real movie buffs.

MovieWeb:
The Internet Movie Network
Good place to get basic information on recent
and upcoming films. The MovieWeb database
contains some 2,000 titles of  movies from
1995 up to the present. Among the available
features is an all-time top 50 based on
ticket receipts , and an entire part of
the website devoted to home video.
Movies.com
A site intended to help entertainment-seekers
select the perfect movie to watch, by providing
listings of theatre times, video/dvd availability,
ratings and reviews, box office results,
etc. The diligent movie-night planner's
dream come true.
The
Greatest Films
Though cosmetically tacky and infested
by pop-up ads, this site is unique, interesting,
and informative. Its mission is to record
the greatest movies of all time, and to
explore what it is that makes a movie great.
In-depth information is available for most
titles, brought to life by film posters.
This site is mostly devoted to "Classic
Hollywood"/American films. Write-ups
often contain large chunks of dialogue from
the films.
Apart from top-100's, you can also find
Oscar nominess and winners, as well as a
list of should-have's. Specific aspects
of what makes for greatness can be explored
through the wide range of "greatest"
lists: greatest moments and scenes, directors,
film star roles, etc. The Genre section
provides concise descriptions of various
film genres illustrated by specific movies.
The extensive and well-wrought History section
adds to a discussion per decade, a list
of greatest films per year.
