This site is no longer active, but Alan Goble’s guide now has a separate site The Complete Index to World Film since 1895.

    The Missing Link is devoted to British and American horror films and aims to provide a comprehensive listing of all those made up to 1950, with slightly scantier information taking it into the 1960s. The site includes film and book reviews and more general articles on particular personalities or themes, which are well researched and surprisingly in-depth. It is possible to search by title and by personality and many of the reviews include both video and audio clips which can be viewed using RealPlayer.
