Both movies fans and film professionals will discover a plethora of useful information at IMDb. Formally known as the Internet Movie Database, this website features a huge collection of facts about a wide variety of movies. From who starred in a movie to film locations to trivia to reviews, you can find what you are looking for at IMDb.

Now an Amazon company, IMDb originated as a hobby project by an group of international movie fans to create something by movie fans for movies fans. Despite the fact that IMDb now experiences millions of users around the world, access is still free for non—commercial use. The website features links to advertisers to support offering the database for free to personal users. Entertainment industry professionals can pay for an expanded version, IMDb Pro, offering additional features specifically aimed towards film industry professionals who can try the service out through a free trial.

The information at IMDb is easy to search for and access. I got lost in the myriad of articles and biographies about my favorite movies and movie stars. No matter what you want to know about movies, you can easily find it a IMDb’s colorful, extremely navigable website. There are even message boards that feature forums where you can further discuss movies and what you’ve learned while surfing IMDb.
