This database is the result of a project at the University of Hildesheim, Germany to study how interaction between people from different cultures has been portrayed in film and television. The website consists of a list of around 150 films, with brief synopsis and credits and then a selection of scenes which have been analysed according to a prescribed list of criteria, such as ‘affectivity’, ‘formality’ and ‘proxemics (space and distance orientation)'. One of the programmes analysed according to these criteria is the British television sitcom ''Allo ‘Allo!' which looks at the depiction and interaction of German, French and English stereotypes.

List of documentary and drama films chosen for their potential use in teaching and exploring aspects of biomedical ethics. The films are arranged according to a variety of topics from Abortion to Xenotransplantation: other subjects include Cloning, Eugenics, Embryology and Organ Trafficking. Information about each film is limited to year and country of production, duration and production company. The aspects of the film most pertinent to the subject are highlighted in a summary. There is no moving image content but some of the records provide links to other sites. The site is hosted by the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics.

Film site primarily devoted to a list of the 1,000 greatest films created from an aggregation of nearly seven hundred individual film polls from journals, magazines and websites, including Sight and Sound, Empire, Facets, Positif, and The Village Voice. The site also includes the no less extensive but more narrowly focused list of the 21st century’s most acclaimed films, and a growing set of director profiles.
The site’s other resource - 1000 noir films is currently a work in progress: beginning with a list of the most 100 frequently cited film noirs, and then gradually adding a further 900 films noir (or films with prominent noir elements). The enterprise (modestly described as ‘hobby-driven’) is the creation of Bill Georgaris and his partner Vicki Platt, who are based in Adelaide, Australia.

Website created by Chris Willmott at the University of Leicester as a resource for lecturers and students of bioscience in Higher Education. The main aim of biologyonthebox is to share suggestions for the use of television in teaching Biology. The only constraint is that the programmes suggested must be available in Box of Broadcasts (Bob). The site is clearly laid out and easy to navigate. A helpful list of categories, from Agriculture and Bioethics to Virology and Zoology helps users navigate the resource. Each entry features a url to the programme on BoB along with information about the programme and suggestions on how to use it in teaching.

Each entry focuses on an individual programme and includes a link to BoB. Many of the entries consider the appropriateness of the programme in the context of teaching, and whether it could be used best in primary, secondary or further and higher education.

An online database of over 600 entries from the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA). The portal is designed to provide academics, archivists, artists, curators, educators, exhibitors, filmmakers, programmers, researchers and students with a centralised means of discovery - interconnecting moving image catalogues, services, resources, websites and related information. The database can be searched by organisation, country, genres and type of material. Typically the information given is contact details, a summary of the collection, and the URL. The information is supplied by the institution itself and so necessarily the amount of detail on individual collections is uneven. The site is managed and maintained largely by volunteers and may be slow to update.
