A great collection of sites, several of them chosen as Best of the Net, that cover a wide variety of topics in the field of classic cinema. Listed alphabetically, in two groups. The first bunch are either Best of the Net sites or just favorites of mine.

Class Act: Those Golden Movie Musicals
An ambitious site by Jim Johnson (The Judy Garland Database, a Best of the Net site) and Ted Nesi (Ted's Lucille Ball Page) featuring tributes to the actors, actresses, musicals, and songs of the Golden Age.

Classic Movies: Lynn's Favorites Best of the Net
Lynn Dougherty has collected her growing assemblage of classic film, actor, and actress tribute pages on one site, and they're all gems.

Donna's Page
Donna Moore's home page includes links to her tributes to Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, Myrna Loy, Asta, and Bette Davis, as well as to screwball comedy and magazine ads from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Most of these pages are also listed individually on my site.

The Greatest Films Best of the Net
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 other related features for the true film buff.

The Palace Best of the Net
An all-purpose resource for fans of the classic films of Hollywood's Golden Age. Lovingly done and endlessly interesting.

The Ravin' Maven of Classic Film Best of the Net
Julie Stowe has created one of the nicest-looking and most entertaining collections of classic tributes, including stars such as William Powell, Lauren Bacall, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Fred Astaire, and Charles Boyer. This link will take you past the great splash page, but click on "Catseye Opening" to experience it.

Reel Classics Best of the Net
A very informative site, filled with photos, information, and Elizabeth's take on some of the greatest actors, actresses, and movies of the classic era.

Arabella & Co.
Dedicated "to the legendary stars of cinema’s golden age," Arabella's very nice site offers an excellent group of articles, including a series of tributes to stars including Tyrone Power, Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy, James Cagney, Ingrid Bergman, Robert Mitchum, and Barbara Stanwyck, presented as an online magazine.

Blackflix.com
With a goal of developing the best, black themed movie web site on the internet, co-publishers Laurence Washington and Jim Stevens have created an extensive site which includes news, reviews, articles, and more, encompassing both new films and classics created by African Americans.

Box Office Guru
Gitesh Pandya's site focuses on boxoffice receipts from current films, but also contains a lot of other information about the financial aspects of film success, including a database going back to 1989 and a list of all-time boxoffice champs (not adjusted for inflation).

Cinema Sites
A very extensive, no-nonsense listing of selected movie-related sites. Not all of them are classic movie sites, but the site is light on graphics and therefore quite fast-loading.

Classic Film and Television
Detroiter Michael Grost refers to his extensive, text-only site as "an educational site containing reviews and articles about films and television, and articles on their writers, directors and photographers." There's plenty of fascinating information here for both scholars and casual enthusiasts.

Classic Film Guide
This site starts right out with a discussion of what constitutes a "classic" film (a topic we deal with all the time) and then continues with short reviews of classic films (with a special emphasis on Hitchcock), essays, lists of essential and "obscure" films, a guide to the best of TCM programming, and more. Short on graphics, but highly recommended.

Dark Hollywood.com
Dedicated to "the craft of the old masters," this site offers a directory of the great actors and actresses of the old days, as well as an extensive listing of films, all with a photo, brief information, and links to the IMDb. There are also special sections on Hitchcock films and horror movies, plus a tough quiz.

Dina-Marie Kulzer's Classic Hollywood Biographies
Dina-Marie offers bios of Joan and Constance Bennett, Clark Cable, Cary Grant, and more, plus a nice gallery of movie magazine covers from the 30s to the 50s.

Dr. Daniel's Movie Emergency
If you can't have fun here, you have a broken funnybone. Dr. Daniel can probably set it for you. Not currently being updated, but the archives are still there.

For the Love of Film
You'll find a little of this and a little of that on this site devoted to old movies. Including tributes to Katharine Hepburn, Hedy Lamarr, Marlon Brando, and Fred Astaire, plus some reviews, wallpapers, little-known facts, and lists of movie star name changes and top-grossing films.

Hollywood Classics
Includes a collection of galleries featuring photos of classic Hollywood actors and actresses, film stills, movie posters, and images from French cinema, plus a "did you know" page. Not updated recently.

International Film & Video Center
IFVC was created to celebrate the art of cinema from all over the world, and is considered one of the world's most comprehensive video libraries. IFVC also produces feature and documentary films. You'll be particularly interested in the extensive film database, the listing of "quintessential films," and the directory of worldwide film festivals.

Jeeem's Cinepad
We've linked to several sections of this site, but neglected until now to add the main page to our listings. Jim Emerson may say his site is under construction (what site isn't?), but there's still plenty of great stuff here, including reviews, essays, tributes, and even a section on plumbing in the movies.

Kiddiematinee.com
Devoted to the golden age of children's cinema, including feature films and short subjects shown theatrically between 1930 and 1985. Their goal is to create a database of fantasies, fairy tales and adventures from this period, which happens to be the prime timeline for this site as well!

King Spud's Movie & TV Pages
The King of the Couch Potatoes offers his lists of top films and his views on the AFI lists (he doesn't agree with them), portraits of great character actors, news, obituaries, quizzes, and a lot more. A true movie fan's home page.

Leonard Maltin's Movie Crazy
Though you might expect this site to be filled with current movie reviews (look for those under Leonard's Picks), it's actually filled with essays, photos, and suggested links, mostly on classic film topics. There's also an opportunity to subscribe to Maltin's print newsletter. You'll have to click on the link in the upper right to get past the full-page ad at the beginning.

The Picture Show Man
Ken Robichaux launched his site in November, 2004, with the goal of doing something similar to what this site has been trying to do for many years -- provide a resource for fans of vintage films. So far he's doing a great job, creating a nice-looking venue with an extensive historical timeline, articles, a Q&A section, film recommendation, a festivals and events listing, and a section on movie cliches.

ReelJewels.com
Ginny Sayre's site is filled with heartfelt and detailed tributes to classic actors and actresses, including Judy Garland, Jane Powell, Nelson Eddy, Don Ameche, and more, as well as teams like Hope & Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. Plus message boards, streaming video, and other goodies.

I have several links to individual sections of Patrick Picking's classic film site. Enjoy his articles on Judy Garland, Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd, and others.

Silver Screen Shadows
A relatively new site devoted to anything and everything movie-related — from different eras and genre. At this writing there are tributes to several classic actors and films, plus image galleries, trivia, and more.
