A short info about the MovieDataBase for new users
==================================================
The Internet Movie Database is an international organization whose
objective is to provide useful and up to date movie information *freely*
available on-line, across as many systems and platforms as possible. It
currently covers over 100,000 movies with over 1,500,000 filmography
entries and is expanding continuously.
The database includes filmographies for actors, directors, writers,
composers, cinematographers, editors, production designers, costume
designers, producers and a miscellaneous catch all section; plot summaries;
character names; movie ratings; year of release; running times; movie
trivia; quotes; goofs; soundtracks; personal trivia; alternative names;
certificates; color information; country of production; genres; production
companies; sound mix; reference literature; filming locations;
sequel/remake information; release dates; advertising tag lines; detailed
technical data; alternative versions; laserdisc availability; and Academy
Award information.
The database aims to capture any and all information associated with movies
from across the world, starting with the earliest cinema, going through to
the very latest releases and even movies still in production. Many
thousands of movies are covered completely from the major actors to the
minor bit players and crew members. All the information comes from the
users of the database so please continue to support it and help it to grow.
The database is updated weekly and is available over the world wide web, an
e-mail interface or for local installation on Unix, Amiga and MS-DOS
machines.
In its five year history the IMDb has grown from a small informal project
to a major Internet resource. The WWW interface to the database is one of
the most popular and well-known sites of any class on the web. It is
frequently cited as a model for how to create and organise a major web site
and has received numerious awards and honours over the years.
