Two excellent 'first stop' sites leading you on to specialist sites are:
- Cinema Sites: http://www.cinema-sites.com
- The Cinema Connection: http://online.socialchange.net.au/tcc/
As a further 'first call' site the following, produced by The Guardian/Observer, is excellent, not least because of its recommendations for other film web sites – which changes weekly.
