Somehow a discussion in church turned to the characters of Gunsmoke. Those who were a little older than I seemed to be well acquainted with each character. "I don't know," I commented. "I used to come home from school and watch those westerns but now they all seem to be a blur. They were an awful lot alike. Many of them had Lee Majors in them...." That turned the conversation to which westerns Lee Majors had been in. Our memories were not too good at that. Someone mentioned Big Valley and a woman was trying to remember the name of another that she said was a play on words. She finally said that she would look on IMDb when she got home.
I had never heard of IMDb, so when I got home, I did a search for it. I found it at www.imdb.com. It declares itself as "Earth's Biggest Movie Database"..."visited by over 38 million movie lovers each month." Then it welcomes you to "the Internet Movie Database, the biggest, best, most award-winning movie site on the planet." OK, OK, I get the point. A lot of people go to this website.
I looked up Lee Majors and found that he had played in Gunsmoke, Big Valley, The Virginian, Allias, Smith and Jones, and 74 other shows and movies.
IMDb has everything you would ever want to know about movies and TV shows.
On the left side of the front page is listed the Top Box Office Hits, Movies Opening this Week, Movies Coming Soon, new DVDs this Week, Upcoming DVDs, and User Favorites (the most visited webpages). Each of these abbreviated lists have a More link which takes you to more details and links to even more detailed lists.
The center part of the front page displays a varying and changing collection of tidbits, like Today's IMDb Poll Question (What is your favorite movie which features the Statue of Liberty in an important part of a setting?), Snapshots, the Movie of the Day, trailers you can watch, a trivia question, and the Movie/TV Quote of the Day.
The right side lists news, someone born today, cool services, and advertisements.
Hidden behind all of this is an extensive database of movies and TV shows which you can get to through links and searches. Entries in this database have information about the movie/show, users' ratings and comments. Before you spend money to see a movie, you might just want to check it out here first.
This is a great website for movie goers, movie lovers, and anyone with a movie question. Check it out.
