Other places you can go
The Digital Bits: One of my favorite DVD sites.
DVDBeaver: My other favorite DVD site. A little hard to navigate, but a great source for DVD reviews, comparisons, and upcoming releases, especially for arthouse cinema.
Criticker: Rate movies, get recommendations. My username is FitFortDanga.
The Internet Movie Database: anything and everything about movies. Some folks accuse them of inaccuracies (usually about technical issues), but I say they've got an amazing batting average considering all the data they provide.
They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?: Every year, TSPDT uses a complicated algorithm to compile all the "top (#)" movie lists to generate their own top 1000 list. I've made it my goal to see all 1000. As of November 2009, I'm at 830 seen.
I Check Movies: Another site for list-obsessed movie fans. Integrates with iMDB's "My Movies" function for hassle-free updates to your checklists.
Ingmar Bergman: The best online resource for my favorite director.
Flickchart: Okay, one last movie site. This one is pretty worthless, but is nonetheless asburdly addictive and a fun timekiller. Two random movies are given, pick the one you like more. Rinse and repeat.
Gone But Not Forgotten: dead celebrities!
The Onion: the best phony news on the planet.
Real Life: another great web cartoon.
