I just found the most amazing website for movie archives. The American Film Institute has cataloged all of their movies dating as far back as 1893. There is extensive information on each movie including a synopsis, complete credits, distribution company, release dates, production dates and more. Anything you could want to know about an individual movie is here in this catalog.
Not only that, but it's easy to use as well. Once entering the catalog, you can access AFI's top films of recent years or begin a search for particular movies. A great feature also is the extense of the "Advanced Search" feature. Here you can get lists of movies with particular actors, directors, producers, and within a specified period of time. Overall this site is great for anyone searching for info about the many facets of motion pictures.
To access the site, you must go through the University of Miami's Library website at: http://www.library.miami.edu. Once there, you need to log-on to the server with a university issued ID and your personal password. Then click on the "Databases & Indexes" tab on the left sidebar. You will then have access to all university databases. Click on the "Communications" link and you will find the catalog under the name "American Film Institute".
