80's Movie Gateway
- The final word on everything from "Adventures in Babysitting" to "Xanadu" - casts, reviews, plots, soundtracks and more, more, more. This site is particularly great for the obscure stuff like finding out if the soundtrack to "Ferris Bueller" is available (sadly, it's not) or if you can find "The Karate Kid"'s headband for purchase anywhere online (disturbingly, you can). Your best bet for going "Back To The Future." -

80's TV Themes SuperSite
- This site represents one of the largest collections of '80s television history on the internet. More than anything, it is a place for the nitty gritty...like an obscure advertising jingle that has more sap than a Vermont tree, but is a priceless reflection of the zeitgeist. It is a favorite among many in "the business" not because of the usual primetime themes, but because of the mundane you'll find in the Potpourri, Promos, and Commercials sections. There are lots of surprises in store... -

BadAssMovieImages.com
- Whether it's a noted classic like Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious" or a lesser-known flick like "Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave", movie images from different genres are lovingly preserved on this site. The site's creator is so dedicated to his task that he sacrifices grocery money to buy collectibles such as a 1925 Tom Mix photo. He carefully scans the stills himself and restores them when necessary. The result of this obsession is an impressive database that spans from the early years of film to yesterday's box office hits with an emphasis on rare movies. You can view the images by genre (kung fu, '70s soul, and serials), decade, actor, actress, or director. Or check out the top 100 to see what other image aficionados are perusing. Enjoy the sudsy fight sequence in "Black Belt Jones", check out the '80s hotties in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", or discover gems from the '30s. -

Big Cartoon DataBase
- If not for IMDb's skimpy cartoon offerings, this unparalleled database of cartoon filmography might not exist. Four years ago, founder Dave Koch sought episode guides for cartoons but came up short. So he rounded up his creative posse and started scouring the Web for toon-related information. They've compiled a massive searchable list of all toons great and small, complete with episode guides, crew lists, and synopses sprinkled with anecdotal flavor. Studio heavyweights Hanna-Barbera, Warner Brothers, and Disney are all represented, as is the seasonally inclined Rankin-Bass, creators of "Frosty the Snowman". Check out the episode that saw Homer Simpson attending college, or reach further back to the '40s when "Popeye the Sailor" reflected wartime sentiments. Fans of the esoteric and rare are encouraged to write reviews and keep the animation alive. -

Bullitt Locations in San Francisco
- When Bullitt hit the theaters in 1968, the movie's high-octane car chase on the steep hills of San Francisco set a new standard for chase scenes. One fan decided to honor the film by taking screen shots of the locations as they appeared in 1968, then photographing the locations 31 years later in 1999 and again in the summer of 2002. He's compiled the photos here, creating a site that recaps the movie while showcasing an ever-changing city. The famous car chase covers the entire city, with little regard for actual streets and locations. In some scenes, Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang can be found in one neighborhood, make a right turn, and magically jump to the other side of town. Although Hollywood's navigation skills are questionable, the movie and this site prove plenty entertaining. -

Cinemorgue
- The folks behind this delightfully morbid movie site ask a simple question: "Has so-and-so done a death scene in any of her movies?" Call the site sick, call it sexist (Where are the dead men?), but it's hard to call it boring. R&B singer Aaliyah is famous for having died before the premiere of her movie "Queen of the Damned", but did you know her character also dies in the movie? Glenn Close has lived through quite a few dramatic deaths, J.Lo was strangled on-screen, and Elizabeth Taylor suffered everything from an asp bite to a car accident. While the site focuses mainly on movies, a few music video and TV demises are also recorded. We'd have been heartbroken if the plastic-wrapped corpse of Sheryl Lee from "Twin Peaks" had been omitted. Warning: This site is one big spoiler -- it tells who dies, how, and at whose hand. But it's the kind of dirt that makes this site worth digging. -

Combustible Celluloid
- "Whenever I go to the video store, I go straight past the 'new' section right to the dusty shelves in the back," says Jeffrey M. Anderson, creator of this site for film lovers. While he does review current movies, classic movies get more than their share of time. Reviews make up the bulk of the site, but Anderson also adds features like "The Best Films of the 1990s," and reviews of books on film topics. Combustible Celluloid crackles with the insight of someone passionate about movies. -
