Great for movies, but be careful of the info.

IMDB —
As a pop culture addict, I spend a lot of time on the internet looking up my favorite celebrities, movies and TV shows. IMDB is one of the premiere sources for info out there.Pros: Lots of info. IMDB is well-organized and easy to read. There's almost too much information. Everything from character pages, to budgets, to quote guides, and trivia info.
Cons: The info isn't always reliable. For movies, some of the info usually comes from the studios, so it's ok. But, quotes and trivia are user submitted and there aren't a lot of checks on what users submit. No sources are required. Anyone can submit anything, and it's almost always accepted. The television section of IMDB is really messed up. It's in terrible shape. The downside of this is that the TV credits on most actors guides are incomplete at best and incorrect at worst. For TV info, go to TV.com instead.
Overall, it's a fun site to browse. But relying on the info is an iffy proposition. Your usually safe with the movie info, but the TV info isn't up to par.
