Websites about films & images

IMDB	The Internet Movie Database has become the main reference site for film facts and details
MRQE	The movie review query engine probably does not list ALL reviews of a particular film, but it makes a pretty good attempt!
BBFC	The British Board of Film Classification website is very useful for finding when films were released in the UK and who the distributor is/was.
FDA	Film Distributors' Association for UK release schedules. It is possible to search by date, distributor or film title
Google Images	Google Images for film stills (most tend to be small).
Channel 4	Good for smallish images.
outnow.ch	Good for large images.

Cliff Stehlow of South Molton F/S says: "My contact was Chris Chapman, Director, and they used Ansvar Insurance, a company specialising in charities and voluntary organisations. Their quote was about 10% less than another broker's, who used the same company!"
