Housed on the Coppernob, cnmovies has combined the Halliwell film guides with Alan Goble’s The Complete Index to World Film Since 1895. The site essentially just reproduces the text of Halliwell and Goble’s books, but it also links to the Coppernob site which provides streamed material such as trailers, full length cartoons and a ‘Vintage Movie Channel’, as well as showbiz news, reviews and interviews. This site is no longer active, but Alan Goble’s guide now has a separate site The Complete Index to World Film since 1895.
