In the beginning, there was text. The early users of the internet looked upon it and saw that it was good. They used e-mail and also communicated with each other via Usenet, a series of bulletin/discussion boards shared across various networks and the internet. But that was the old way, and open databases are the new way. The best known movie database,
IMDB,
will turn 20 on October 17, 2010, but for some enthusiasts, it's not detailed enough. Were you wondering exactly what weaponry was shown in that episode of
Mail Call? Check
the page on IMFDb, a wiki catalog of guns in movies. Having debates over
what was said in the Book of Eli?
There's a Database for that. Perhaps you're a
fan of vespas or
Hudsons? The
Internet Movie Car Database can
satisfy your
interests. And don't forget to check
the Internet Game Car Database, or the
other sites linked from IMCDb, including the database for
movie car chases (mentioned
previously,
twice).
Soundtrack Collector,
Soundtrack Info, and
Sounds Familiar have (you guessed it) information on soundtracks.
