Author: Dave Holloway Movie Sites
Yes, one of the wonders of computer technology is the ability to watch movies on our laptops or desktops; and one of the boons of internet technology enables us to find said films, film clips, trailers, and the like online at movie sites. Further, for those of us art appreciators or educators who use movies in our distance learning classes, these movie sites offer fantastic databases, anthologies, or how-to series.
The Animation Factory is one of the movie sites offering free short films—mini-animations we can watch, download, and send to friends, as the creators at the AF suggest.
For more serious viewing, there are movie sites that seek to inform, with such video materials as those available at PBS—with The Online NewsHour Video database as well as a directory of hundreds of broadcast programs and specials at PBS.org.
New movie trailers are at movie sites including RealPlayer (the same place we go to get a movie viewer—if we are not using one on our hard drive); and show highlights clips are everywhere, at such sites as the Idol forum, for example.
One of the premier movie sites is a search engine: Google Video allows users to search a collection of videos and clips that range from the NBA Playoffs to the Top 11 on AOL Music to National Archives Historical Videos. In addition, many more sites are not specifically movie sites but feature movies or videos and clips. Try, for instance, Dartmouth College's Academic Skills Center, wherein you will find academic success videos; the Television Commercial Database, which features a searchable database as well as a list of most popular television commercials from all over the world.
Another that fits in the movie sites category is the forum at BeliefNet, where people discuss opinions of Christian and other religiously themed films. Along these lines is the most prolific of all movie sites—one you can use for research or personal investigations: imdb.com, Internet Movie Database.
Creative independent filmmakers show model short films and clips at IAC, the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers; and educational movie sites include United Streaming. And of course there are movie sites where you can watch videos online, read about movies, and buy or rent movies on DVD.
The range and value of the movie sites, so many more than are listed here, goes from short animations to full-length feature films to news clips and movie trailers to educational films by discipline. We humans are lucky to be living now, aren't we?
