Web Site of the Week: Internet Movie Database
May 31, 1999
Internet Movie DatabaseThis is one of those sites that you wish would happen to you, but always seems to happen to someone else. I don't have the exact details, but I've been using it since it was a labor of love for some college student, hosted on the college computer. It is now clearly a commercial site (and, I presume and hope, a successful one), which means that someone has made their dream, their avocation, their hobby, into an Internet destination for thousands if not millions. I love this site. You used to have to pay big bucks to access a commercial database that had much LESS information about FEWER films. IMDB isn't perfect, but it is damn good, and is one of my favorite reference sites. If you like movies, it should be one of yours as well. |
