 Filmsite Often Referenced and Endorsed by Film Critic Roger Ebert: Film
critic and columnist Roger Ebert, author
of The Great Movies (2002) and The Great Movies II (2005), has made many detailed References to Filmsite.org in his own "Answer Man" Chicago Sun-Times column and in his many writings about the Great Movies. He has written that Filmsite is "an
invaluable repository of movie descriptions and dialogue...(the) site
represents a labor of love."
In specific references to the site in his Answer
Man column, Ebert has said it is an "awesome website (that) contains detailed descriptions
of 300 great American films, along with many other riches." He has
also written: "The site offers many ways of looking at important
films, but the centerpiece is his series of 100 long reviews of classics,
including downloadable still photos, highly extensive plot summaries,
and a lot of quotes... This site is useful for film students or others
seeking an entry point into film history. He has essays on genres, periods
and types of movies, and suggested titles in each area, and his sheer
love for the movies comes across in his accuracy and energy."
 100 Greatest Films: Almost twelve years ago, Filmsite was one of the first websites to initiate the recent trend to select 100 Landmark
Films in the history of American-Hollywood cinema, that serve as signposts
to map the milestones of our cinematic past. According to the Encyclopedia
Britannica, this site has a "rich collection of commentary and
information about masterpieces of American cinema." In mid-2003, Variety featured
the site in an article titled: "Filmsite
has unique spin on top pix." Filmsite.org was voted in October, 2007 by the popular movie magazine Fade In (both virtual and online) as one of the "100 Coolest Film Sites on the Net" with "every conceivable 'best of' list for film".
 Award-Winning Resource: The site has been reviewed very favorably by a number of
Web magazines, sites or books (see this site's References section), and the author has been quoted in numerous sources for DVD commentary,
AP press releases, radio broadcasts, magazine articles, etc. Some of the
site's content (the glossary of Film Terms)
is currently used with permission on the IFC (Independent Film Channel) website.
