    This self-styled ‘Robin Hood of the avant-garde’ was established 15 years ago as an archive and distributor of art films and is now partially based in Mexico. The disclaimer tells us: ‘All materials are for non-commercial and / or educational use only.' There is some fascinating and rare work here as well as some genuine obscurities. Along with Tweets and podcasts, the site hosts dozens of films, shorts and features, ranging from early works by the likes of Brian de Palma and Joseph Cornell to more widely-known experimental filmmakers such as Andy Warhol, Jean Cocteau and Steve McQueen. Part of the site is now devoted to electronic music and sound. The website is large and cleanly laid out though the lack of any guided search tools is unfortunate - the legal aspects behind the hosting of much of the content is at best questionable, but its intentions are seemingly honourable.

    This amusing and exceptionally well-informed resource is the brainchild of director and movie buff Joe Dante. It brings together classic and not-so-classic film trailers and then provides introductions and audio commentaries for them from a wide variety of film industry professionals including such notable movie makers as Dante himself, Edgar Wright, John Landis, Guillermo del Toro, Mary Lambert, John Sayles and Roger Corman, amongst others. The site can be searched by film title, genre, decade and the person making the commentary. The range of films is very broad so that one can hear some straightforward praise as when director John Badham discusses the trailer for To Kill a Mockingbird, which co-starred his sister Mary, and make-up guru Rick Baker comments on the biopic of his hero Lon Chaney, but there are also such unlikely juxtapositions as Neil Labute discussing British technicolor classic, Black Narcissus.
