Review (in 1996):

This tremendous movie guide is compiled by Internet users for Internet users. Visitors will find crew lists, running times, actor bios, gaffes and goofs, and much more, all shot through with hyperlinks for easy reference. The site claims to cover more than 50,000 films, plus thousands of TV series. Since the information comes from Web users, the quality is sometimes fabulous and occasionally lame. Still, what do you want for free: Shakespeare?

Look up a great thespian like Martin Balsam, for instance, and you'll learn that he recently starred in an Italian parody called Silence of the Hams along with Mel Brooks, Phyllis Diller, Rip Taylor, and Larry Storch. (No kidding!)

Then you can learn that Rip Taylor has since appeared in Private Obsession with Peetie the Dog. Then you can see Peetie's filmography. (Just the one film, sadly.) Then you can ...

Well, this is just scratching the surface. A delightful, unique-to-the-Web resource.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
