Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining: If you like the films of Stanley Kubrick you really should visit this well-designed site. A great number of photographs and audios is offered. If you are looking for features, essays or reviews, however, you will have to go to other websites. The Kubrick page does at least present some links leading to interviews, databases, news groups and essays about technical and psychological aspects of his films.

Woody Allen
Perhaps you already knew that he was never married to Mia Farrow or Diana Keaton but with two rather unknown ladies instead. But did you know that his real name is Allen Stewart Konigsberg? These and further tidbits, audio-samples and book and CD-ROM reviews are presented at this site. Available is a search function too and information about his current movie projects. But the site focuses of course on his films, beginning with "What's New, Pussycat" from 1965 up to his latest "Everyone says I love you." For all films you can not only look at actors and crew members, but also access photographs, dialogs (text and audio), insider gossip and posters. A surpassing film page.

Woody Allen
This Woody Allen site offers a "basic package" for fans including a short chronological biography, a list of all films (with very short summaries), links and a list of his books.

I'm one of the few males who suffers from that!" - "I would never wanna belong to any club that would have someone like me for member." Some essays, book reviews and features are offered as well.

Hitchcock - Master of Suspense
This is a personal homepage, but once again a very attractive one, maybe even even more informative than the professional Hitchcock site you find above. A detailed biography is offered, authentic and non-authentic quotations ("I did not say actors are like cattle but that you must treat them like cattle."), a FAQ (about the shower scene in Psycho and the metaphor of the "birds"), an index with all his walk-on parts, essays and features about his dramaturgical and cineastic secrets and of course information about all films.

Cyberblanca
The shooting was almost finished but it was not obvious at that time whether Ingrid Bergmann would be happy either with Viktor Laszlo or Rick. Rick's part was initially intended for Ronald Reagan and the famous quotation "Louis, this could be the beginning of a wonderful friendship" was added in the sound studio later on, after all shooting was finished. You want more insider information, gossip and legends about one of the most famous films of all time? Concerning the crew, actors, the chronology of shooting, locations? Or would you like to propose which actors should have the part of Ilsa, Rick or Louis today? Cyberblanca will supply you with (almost) everything about this cult film.
