If you can't recite it line-for-line, you haven't seen it enough times. Link to different parts of the movie by choosing a picture, and then check out how other people have paid homage to Buttercup.

Sabrina (1995)

http://voyager.paramount.com/sabrina/

Okay, maybe we're not talking Bogey and Hepburn, but this remake still has some nice chemistry. The site offers publicity stills, bios of the principal cast members (did you know that Harrison Ford was in the cast of American Graffiti?), some nice quotes from the actors in the summation of the film's plot, and of course the requisite background info on the filming.

Science Fiction/Fantasy

2019: Off-World (Blade Runner Page)

http://kzsu.stanford.edu/uwi/br/

Find behind-the-scenes info, stills, lines, scripts, and lots of other goodies from all three films in the series at this site.

Alien Autopsy

http://www.trudang.com/autopsy.html

It may be a short film, but it had a long impact. More than a year after its premier on the Fox broadcasting network and in video stores, people are still talking about whether the thing is a fake or is based on a real autopsy of a real alien corpse found in Roswell. Check out this site and its links and decide for yourself.

Back to the Future

The author of this page would like to have an individual page for each installment in this trilogy starring Michael J. Fox, but for now, he has synopses of each on the front page.

Batman Forever

http://www.lungfish.com/alteregos/velcro/soforth/batman.html

A very critical look at the most recent Batman film, the author gets the ball rolling and encourages others to contribute inconsistencies they noticed in the film. Not a site for someone who hasn't seen the film and plans to.

Read about Bob's personal collection of Godzilla artifacts, or link to the pages of others who worship at the Godzilla shrine.

Independence Day

http://www.lost-world.com/

They're back—those not-so-lovable dinosaurs are once again engrossing and threatening the world.

Phantasm

http://www.phantasm.com/

When a movie's been around this long and still has a unique URL, you know it's here to stay. Take a tour of the Tall Man's Mausoleum, or check out what he has to say to you. It's a site definitely worth checking out, even if it's only for job openings.

The Phantom

http://www.thephantom.com/

If you like the guy in purple, stop by here. Even before the release of the theatrical film based on the comic books, this site was up and running for Phantom fans. Join the Jungle Patrol and explore the Skull Cave, check out the pics and sounds, and be sure to review the production notes for the inside scoop on the "making of."

The Relic

If the coming attractions didn't scare you, undoubtedly the movie did. The site is creepily reminiscent of the film, and includes extensive background information on the book, the filming, the cast, and the crew.

Until the End of the World

http://www.panix.com/~archii/uteotw/
