When it comes to films and other media such as television one of the most useful resources on the Internet is The Internet Movie Database. It lists virtually every film and television show ever made and provides such useful information as directing, writing and acting credits as well as plot summaries and user reviews. Practically every name credited is linked to a separate page, which lists all of his or her projects, both post and pre-production, which are all linked. Practically everything on IMDB is linked to something else, and it is amazing the threads one can follow. The IMDB would make a cinch of winning The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Rather than I preach its accolades, you should see for yourself. Unfortunately over the years the IMDB has become more and more commercialized as with many good resources such as Yahoo and Google, but it still remains an absolutely wonderful tool. And by supplying basic information and registering with IMDB, you can vote on movies, television series, and anything else that is listed. And by its sheer number of members, which is well over a million, the ratings on a scale of one to ten tend to reflect a very balanced view of serious movie watchers. In future reviews, I may compare IMDB ratings to my own.
If you haven't already been, please go and discover what you always wanted in a movie resource and more. You will not be disappointed.
