A good site for basic info. about films and DVD availability. This site will give you “watch-alikes”. For example: If you like The Third Man, you might also like Ministry of Fear or Foreign Correspondent. Check out their other site, Allmusic.com, which is the go-to site for music info.

Rotten Tomatoes

A great source for film and TV series reviews. They collect professional reviews and rate the films. They provide local show times and trailers.

MRQE

This site is similar to Rotten Tomatoes by giving review scores to films.

Metacritic

Like Rotten Tomatoes and MRQE, but not as comprehensive. They also have reviews for DVDs, Music, TV, and videogames.
