IMDb

I have yet to find a website to replace this ill-designed resource for films. It's the first thing that I think to go to when I want to find out who was in what, or what film is that again? There's no easy way to cross-reference actors so winning that Kevin Bacon game takes more work than it should. Additionally, everything about the appearance and organization of IMDB is wrong. There is nothing else that I find useful about it, except that once I almost was able to obtain "MTV's 25 lamest" episode from another user. However that fell through and I continue my life-long search.

Here I usually look up information on actors and characters about movies and TV shows. It list almost all the actors that played as the characters, plus descriptions about a movie or show. Also, they have actor pages a well. That's about it.

I love IMDB because I get to rate films and see what others think on the films I like. I think that they have a lot of cool info like what the actors are in the process of doing, quotes, weird trivia. I do LOVE the site because I LOVE movies, but there are some issues like the set up needs to be streamlined. The front page of the films just looks like a mess. A designer needs to come in and design them to be easier. I use Yahoo movies to look at films sometimes and their information (not as extensive) is easy to read. Who the director is, the actors, when it was made... how long the film is. Simple to spot. Also the forum is archaic. It needs a better look.

They have all the right ingredients, they just don't have the look down. When they get that down they'll be far too awesome to defeat... ever. Almost like Google.

I've used IMDB for over ten years and I always used the message boards as a way to find answers on movies. IMDB has decided to remove the message boards deeming it pointless and that it adds nothing resourceful. I don't agree and many people don't either. Now that the website has gotten rid of the boards, it's impossible to discuss or find answers to movies, especially independent movies and lesser known movies.

Therefore, it makes this website a little less resourceful than it was before. It gives accurate information for movies. Other than that, people will no longer have reason to visit this website. The most you can do is look at movies, upcoming films and what actors are in what films. I'm sure with the message boards gone, IMDB has lost traffic. I'm really disappointed. I always thought IMDB would be the most popular and permanent solution to movie discussions with other people, but I guess not. FAQs for films are helpful, but not as helpful as the message boards were.

I'm a movie buff so I love this site.

I find it so distracting when you are watching a movie and cannot remember where that actor is from!... so I search the movie on this site, look at the list of characters/actors, click on the actor I recognize then look at their acting history. (it's fun to see the acting history of a-list actors-- it may surprise you!)

I love looking at all the "famous quotes" from the movies I love too. For a good laugh :)

Here is the site I frequently visit to check on reviews of new movies as well as search for old movies. Design is pretty much shady but it makes up for its content. IMDB.com has a huge database for movies. I personally like reading the "did you know" part specially the trivia and the spoofs. I love the spoofs! I would even watch the movie again just to check.:)

Another thing that I like is getting all the movies of a particular actor when you click his name. This is nicely done.

The only downside for me is that the ratings are not that credible. I would watch a movie with a rating of 7 and yet would not like it. Then again, might just be not my kind of taste. :)

I love this website so much. I've been a member since 2005. If you need to know who's the hottie on a crappy movie that you couldn't even remember the name, you should check IMDB. They have all kinds of movie listed, from B-movies to foreign movies & asian drama. Not only actors & actresses, but the important crews are also listed. But the downside is the message board. IMDB message boards is a breeding ground for trolls. It's quite hard to maintain an intelligent conversation because of the constant trolling from pitiful members and lazy board admins. I wish IMDB would upgrade the board administrators to be more competent in controlling the message boards.
