in 2007, and really took off when it released its “Movies” application
on Facebook, which remains one of that platform’s most popular apps.

participation using a points system. The site also has discussion
forums, movie polls, and trailers.
Criticker

for the ones you’ve seen you enter a number between 0 and 100. Once
you’ve rated enough films, the site starts to suggest films you might
like through a probability score index.

by combining detailed movie information with ratings, recommendations,
and reviews.
Spout

isn’t the most polished film information site and social network on
this list, but it is very complete. the site provides plenty of ways for
users to interact, including rating and reviewing films, discussion
groups, film news, and trailers.

social network is worth joining for users of the service. Powered by
Ning, the site isn’t the most full-featured social network.
The Auteurs
The Auteurs
is a social network for people who love film. You’ll find a community
of people reviewing and discussing foreign films and dissecting the
cinematography of scenes in classic cinema.
Box Office Mojo

is your place. BoxOfficeMojo tracks how much films earn at the US and
worldwide box office on a daily, weekly, and weekend basis.
