Trying to remember the name of that guy who was in that one movie you saw last summer? You know, the one who used to be in those funny car commercials? When you can't seem to get the name of a celebrity off the tip of your tongue, or you need to settle a friendly debate over just about any scrap of movie trivia, the Internet Movie Database should be the first place you go for the answers.

Sure, this site is home to quite a variety of movie-related stuff, such as quizzes, show times, DVDs and videotapes for sale, and so on — but the heart of the site is its detailed and accurate archive of vital statistics on just about every major (and minor) motion picture ever made. Head straight for the search box and start digging. Give it even part of a name of an actor or part of a movie title, and watch the database work its magic. For more advanced searches, try the expanded Search Page — here, you can search for a crewmember, a character name, or even a famous line of dialog.
