Social networks for the movie buff
Connecting with other movie fans and discussing films you select from Netflix can be fun. Although sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes have become important parts of the online experience for movie buffs, they aren’t exactly the forums for engaging movie chat and social networking that the sites in this roundup are. Below are some of the best I’ve found.
Movie social networks
Filmcrave Filmcrave lets you create lists of all the movies you love, rate films, and discuss those ratings with friends in the site’s forums. You can also find other members who might have similar movie tastes by comparing their reviews to yours. Filmcrave is designed well but doesn’t stand out from the competition.
Flixster Once you sign up for Flixster, you’ll immediately be asked to find friends who are already on the service. It takes only a few seconds, so it’s worth trying.
When complete, you can take a test that will help determine how compatible your movie tastes are with your friends’. You can check out movies, tell others what your favorite films are, use widgets that let you add voice comments to Flixster, and more.
The site even has a chat function, so you can instant-message with others while reading up on films. And unlike the other services in this roundup, Flixster is available for mobile phones, including the iPhone and BlackBerry. It also has applications on MySpace and Facebook. It’s everywhere for good reason–it’s the best movie social network on the Web.
