Motion Picture Association

Home to both the MPA and MPAA. Just in case that sounds potentially confusing, "the MPA was formed in 1945 in the aftermath of World War II to reestablish American films in the world market, and to respond to the rising tide of protectionism resulting in barriers aimed at restricting the importation of American films." The MPAA was "founded in 1922 as the trade association of the American film industry.. the initial task assigned to the MPAA was to stem the waves of criticism of American movies, then silent, while sometimes rambunctious and rowdy, and to restore a more favorable public image for the motion picture business."

Movie Poster Page

From Ada (1961, Dean Martin, one-sheet) to Zulu (1964, Michael Caine, US 30x40). Where else would you find X-15 with Mary Tyler Moore (1961) or Johnny Weissmuller as Jungle Jim (1948) right in there with The Matrix and Go? Pricey stuff, mostly for real collectors.

Special lists for Beatles, Bond, etc.

Philip K. Dick Official Site

Dedicated to the late author's influence on current sci-fi movies (his sci-fi stories were the basis of Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report and may others.)

Pixar

You know who they are by now. Toy Story ring a bell? Anyway, besides the usual corporate web site stuff (all very friendly and informative - in fact their site has always been cool) Pixar serves up a bunch of their amazing and unique shorts for online viewing. So go there and see the best animation on the web for free. They are in QuickTime and Pixar offers different screen sizes so everybody at 56K or better should be able to handle it.

Interesting site features:
Artist's Corner - meet some of the folks at Pixar
Renderman Software - you wanna Pixar? Got XP and $8000?

An excellent site for animation collectors! Premier has a large selection of animation drawings, production cels, original master and production backgrounds, limited edition cels, lithographs, sericels and other items from Disney, Warner Bros., De-Patie Freleng, Walter Lantz, Marvel, Hanna-Barbera, Miracle Studios, Bill Melendez, Jim Henson, 20th Century Fox, Ketcham, Lucasfilm, MGM, and Fleischer.
