This provides a week of listings on UK movie channels such as Sky Movies, Film Four, TCM and The Studio as well as movie reviews and movie trivia and a fairly large section devoted to film trailers which will require MediaPlayer to view. The site can best be described as functional, but it completely lacks the breadth and depth of other online TV guides such as Digiguide, What’s on the BBC and it doesn’t even come close to the BUFVC’s own TRILT service.
This site celebrates the life and work of British film director and editor, David Lean. Most of the materials are taken from the British Film Institute’s Special Collections and include jpegs of press books, stills, reviews, scripts, designs and correspondence. All his films as director as well as many on which he served as editor are analysed and many extracts from the films themselves can can be viewed either with RealPlayer or Windows MediaPlayer. Please note that this resource is currently as an old site. David Lean’s films can be watched via the BFIplayer, with a subscription.
Previously a subscription service known as Tookeys Film Guide, this is now advert-supported and therefore much more accessible. It remains a fairly large and certainly up-to-date database, detailing the often eccentric opinions of film critic Christopher Tookey which can be searched by title, personality, year, keyword and genre. It also provides a very useful sampling of opinions by other critics as well as a rather dubious rating system. Now includes some of Tookey’s BBC Radio broadcasts.
