ALL MOVIE GUIDE.

According to Forbes Magazine, The All Movie Guide is " Unparalleled depth and authority on movies ranging from Little Nemo to Big Daddy.

Its million-plus pages of essays, reviews and bios are easily searchable and astonishingly cross-referenced by studio, genre, cast, crew, decade, country, cinematic technique--you name it.

Click on the 1960s, say, and you'll find a list of 50 top films, from Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960) to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1969). Reviews aren't coy: On Errol Flynn's 1941 General Custer flick, They Died With Their Boots On, we learn "history is distorted almost beyond recognition...but audiences ate it up like cotton candy."

Glossary demystifies movie lingo like Mickey Mousing (synching sound and action via music)."
