The Ravin' Maven of Classic Film
Julie Stowe began creating sites after Classic Movies was founded, but she now has one of the nicest-looking and most entertaining collections of tributes on the Web, to stars such as William Powell, Lauren Bacall, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Fred Astaire, and Charles Boyer.
Doug Stickney's Silver Screen Sirens
Do you have a crush on a movie starlet from the 30s who's old enough to be your grandmother (if she's still with us at all)? I do, and apparently so does Doug Stickney. Lucky for us. This collection of photos is one of the best we've ever seen.
The Greatest Films
Tim Dirks' amazing site features plot synopses of 100 great films, plus a listing of even more movies by year, with summaries of the film history of each decade. Plus many, many other related features for the true film buff. A great resource, second only to the IMDb (see below).
The Internet Movie Database
Whether it's classic movies or modern films, if you're looking for a quick bit of information about something specific, you can't do better than the IMDb. Spend some time learning about the multiple ways to search this huge database, or to contribute if you have a mind to do so.
The Judy Garland Database
A very extensive and well-put-together database of Judy Garland material, created by a real fan who also knows how to design material for the Web. Worth visiting even if you're not a Judy Garland fan. (But who isn't?)
Lynn's Classic Movie Favorites
Lynn Dougherty continues to add to her growing assemblage of stylish and entertaining classic film, director, actor, and actress tribute pages, and they're all gems. Scroll down the page to find out what else she's up to.
Meredy's Place
A great-looking collection of pagese featuring classic movie, television, and celebrity trivia, including special sections for dozens of your favorite classic stars and films, plus links to all of Meredy's other sites.
The Palace
A fantastic resource for fans of the classic films of Hollywood's Golden Age. Lovingly done and endlessly interesting, not to mention visually striking.
The Silent Worlds of David B. Pearson
The prolific David B. Pearson has gifted us with Arbucklemania, Silent Ladies and Gents, Slapstick, and DG, as well as two mirror sites of Bruce Long's "Taylorology," and it's all top-notch, both in terms of appearance and content.
The Toon Tracker
Subtitled "The Finder of Lost Cartoons," this extensive site by Ron Kurer offers information about everything from Beany & Cecil to Woody Woodpecker, with audio files, request archives, discussion boards, and more. A must-see for fans of classic animation.
Vincent's Casablanca Home Page
Vincent's page is a loving tribute and very complete resource list for what many people believe is one of the most perfect films ever made.
Following (in alphabetical order) are the classic movie sites which have been presented with the Classic Movies Best of the Net award since this site was founded in 1997. This award is presented only when we find a site which we think deserves it. Only these sites are eligible to display the award shown at the right. It is an ongoing honor which may only be withdrawn if a site falls below the standards for which they were first given the award, or if the site is taken offline (which has unfortunately happened to a couple of the original BON sites recently).
