The IMDB customer experience

Everybody loves a good movie whether from the comfort of our living room or from the back seat of the local cinema multiplex. For every epic blockbuster we are privileged to witness there are half a dozen stinkers we must endure to discover that hidden gem, often not hugely hidden with the level of expenditure in movie promotion today. This global fascination with all things cinematic creates huge demand for knowledge on the films and their stars. The classic dilemma being trying to remember what film you last saw that actor in who is starring in the latest blockbuster. Before the mighty web offered us answers we could be left for days desperately trying to place the actor in a previous scene and recall where we last saw them. The services of IMDB (www.imdb.com) give us all our movie needs in a single stop telling us what is on now and when near us and a biblical back catalogue of all things cinema and TV as far back as we could wish to delve. The website is supplemented by a quality mobile application that effortlessly steers us to the results we seek.  The information includes that essential cinema history for all our actors with a photo included just in case we weren't sure who they were.  All for free, no fees to pay just quality, reliable information that we can munch up to our hearts content. Brilliant. All my movie information dilemmas now addressed.
