The Greatest Films is a unique website containing plot summaries (with actual film dialogue), review commentary with emphasis on story content and historical background, and hundreds of colorful, vintage film posters for some of the best Hollywood and American classic films in the last century. Relive the experience of watching one of your favorite films - maybe Casablanca or The Wizard of Oz - here! The site was designated as one of the Top 20 Movie Sites on the Web in the January 1998 issue of Yahoo Internet Life Magazine by prestigious film critic Roger Ebert - it was categorized as one of his five Most Dazzling Sites.

Mr. Showbiz has a wide selection of material-there are celebrity interviews (it even nabbed the URL celebsite.com), there's news that's updated through the day, there are games, there's a membership option, and there's the delightful daily watercooler poll. This magazine gave E!Online a five-star award last year, but Mr. Showbiz was around when E! was just a cable television station. Too bad the site takes forever to load, even on my ISDN line, with its unnecessary Java applets that bring forth nothing more than an annoying and useless moving scroll of recent reviews or randomly selected genre hits. Another curiosity: There doesn't seem to be any way to download Mr. Showbiz's information to a text file. Design glitches aside, the site has excellent reviews (real reviews by intelligent critics, not Blurb-a-Matic morsels).
