IMDbPro Features

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is the largest, most comprehensive movie database on the web. It offers an extensive database of movie, TV show, and cast information. The site was officially launched in 1990 and is now owned by Amazon.com.

IMDb is an extremely detailed and rich source of film data that features top movies, news, reviews, movie trailers , showtimes, DVD movie reviews, celebrity profiles, and more. If you’ve ever researched a movie or actor, you’ve probably landed on IMDb.

The site is truly a mammoth repository of movie information, and while it’s great that most of it is completely free to access, it can seem cluttered and hard to sift through. Below are some tips on how to use IMDb, as well as a look at some of its features, including what you get with IMDbPro.

IMDb is, in a word, extensive. It’s a huge hub of entertainment information. Nearly any search engine will point you there if you’re looking up the plot to a movie or if you’re trying to find out who played in a film you just watched or who’s going to be in an upcoming TV show.

There’s a staggering array of information related to the entertainment industry: scripts, trivia, director/producer information, publicity contacts, plot summaries, movie trailers, etc. In addition to background information, the Internet Movie Database also offers exclusive character resources like biographies and memorable quotes, plus includes the ability to instantly watch TV shows and movies for free.

Users are invited to participate in the site's ever-growing wealth of information by rating movies on a scale. IMDb’s “top” pages—such as the 250 films in the Top Rated Movies list—are based on these user votes of confidence (or disapproval), which steadily rotates a list of movies through the list of favorites depending on votes received.

Most pages associated with a movie or TV show on IMDb offer several features, including a plot synopsis, plot summary, storyline, cast information, review scores, tagged genres, images, videos, nominations, similar titles, box office details, runtime, trivia, frequently asked questions, user reviews, quotes, and more.

You can also build your own private or public watchlists. These can contain the movies and shows you're interested in. They serve as a great way to collect titles you're planning on watching, and you can even sort them by rating, runtime, popularity, and other useful criteria.

IMDb Advanced Search Options

Upcoming Releases and other IMDb Charts like Most Popular Movies and Top Box Office are some of the more popular ways to use IMDb, but there are actually several ways to search through the site.

You might need to pick one method over another if you’re looking for a new movie to watch or if you have only one or two bits of information to start the search, such as an actor’s name or information on the plot.

IMDb Name Search : Find titles by an actor’s name, birthday or birthplace, star sign, death date or place, gender, filmography, name group (like Oscar-Winning or Best Actress-Winning ), and more.
IMDb Title Search : Search for movies and shows by their title, runtime, title type ( TV episode, TV short, short film, feature film , etc.), release date, user rating, number of votes, genre, title group ( IMDb “Top 100” or Emmy Award-Winning ), title data ( locations , crazy credits , alternate versions , etc.), companies (like Sony or Paramount), instant watch options, US certificates (PG, NC-17, etc.), countries, keywords, language, filming location, cast/crew, runtime, sound mix, and more.
IMDb Collaborations Search : This search type lets you find movies and shows where two people of your choosing appear, or you can find people who played in the same film by searching for two titles.
IMDb Site Index : This one lists various interesting places you can browse on IMDb, such as Best of the year , Bottom 100 , Birthdays , and Amazon Originals .
Film Genres : Browse IMDb by genre to find horror movies, comedies, animations, fantasy films, thrillers, crime shows, and lots more.

IMDb Free Movies

The Internet Movie Database doesn’t just have information on movies and shows, but also free films you can watch right now. Originally called Freedive, and then IMDb TV, this service is now called Amazon Freevee .

You can pay for some features of IMDb if you want them. However, they’re aimed more toward people looking for contacts in the entertainment business.

Subscribing to IMDbPro lets you:

Claim your own IMDb page
Track updates from people/title profiles to always have the latest information
Find industry contacts and talent representation
See titles not available on IMDb

There’s a free 30-day trial of IMDbPro before the $12.50 /month price kicks in. That price is for if you pay for one year upfront ($149.99), or you can opt for the slightly more expensive month-to-month subscription for $19.99.

5 Best IMDb Alternatives for Free Movie and TV Series Databases

These free alternatives to IMDb feature fantastic movie and TV series databases, aggregated rating systems, and discussion boards for anything.

The Internet Movie Database, or IMDb, is the world's most popular website and app to look up information about any film or TV show. But it has a few issues. There have been complaints about its rating system not being transparent. The site is owned by Amazon and aggressively promotes Prime Video content. And its famous discussion boards have now been reduced to just another place with unreliable reviews.

But there are free alternative movie databases that give you similar information. Some even let you choose ratings from different places to sort their databases. And fans of the old discussion boards have created better sites for you to chat about what you're watching.

1. TMDB (Web): Ad-Free, Community-Powered, Best IMDb Alternative

TMDB has been around since 2008 and is entirely written and edited by its users, much like Wikipedia. And you won't find any ads or promotions if you register for a free account.

TMDB covers both films and TV series, with a detailed database for alternative titles, cast, crew, descriptions of each episode, runtime, and where it's currently streaming (works in certain countries). You'll also find user reviews and discussions for each entry, but be careful because you might easily come across spoilers. And finally, you can browse any publicly available media about the title, like trailers, posters, set images, and logos.

Registered users can also create personal watchlists to track what to watch or create public lists for others to see and contribute to. In select countries, you can also filter by streaming services to find what's available for you.

You'll find a lot of non-English and regional content on TMDb that you might not easily come across on IMDb, especially for older releases. It's so comprehensive that popular movie trackers like Trakt.TV and Letterboxd use this database. After all, there's a reason we've previously said The Movie Database is the best IMDb alternative out there.

2. All Movie (Web): Old-School & Simple Movie Database

Launched in 1990, IMDb is almost as old as the world wide web. The next oldest movie database is AllMovie, which started in 1998 and still going strong. But while IMDb sports a modern look, AllMovie retains a sense of old-school simplicity and minimalism that is refreshing to browse. And it's only movies on this site, as you won't find TV series.

The main page shows a marquee banner of currently popular films, and you can then browse new and upcoming releases in a box. Two other sections show what's available to stream or buy digital, and current box office earnings. The rest of the site is about browsing by genre, mood, or theme, or using powerful search features to find what you want from its vast Hollywood and foreign films database.

Each title's page furthers the simplicity that AllMovie is known for. The first tab only gives you a synopsis, and then you can read an original review from the site's writers or user reviews. Finally, you'll find cast and crew information or awards it won. AllMovie isn't as comprehensive as IMDb or TMDB in the cast and crew details. Still, it usually covers the more famous or essential aspects of film-making.

3. TV Maze (Web): Comprehensive and Detailed TV Show Database

While AllMovie is for films, TV Maze is for TV series and shows. This site focuses on what's playing on TV channels. And, of course, streaming services count as "channels."

The main page shows today's TV schedule in the sidebar and popular shows airing that day or upcoming season premieres. There's a detailed episode calendar to keep up with TV schedules, and registered users can also include their favorite streaming services. Plus, you can track your favorite series and get reminders whenever an episode is coming out.

TV Maze includes a comprehensive episode and season database for any TV show. You'll find cast and crew information, descriptions of each episode, guest stars, character biographies and appearances, a media gallery, and news.

The website mainly caters to channels or shows in the U.S. or U.K. While there are listings for other countries and shows at times, don't rely on TV Maze for those; instead, find local sites similar to this.

4. MovieChat (Web): Internet's Largest Discussion Boards for Film and TV

In 2017, IMDb announced it was closing its discussion boards, a beloved part of the website for movie fans. After all, each film had its own forum, with multiple sub-topics for fans to talk about different aspects of the movie. One of these fans was Jim Smith. And that's how MovieChat was born.

Like the original IMDb discussion boards, MovieChat gives a sub-forum for every film and TV show. So, if it's on IMDb, you'll find it on MovieChat. And within that sub-forum, you can create and participate in as many threads as possible. But you do have to abide by the community guidelines. And in a frustrating UI experience, you can only sort the threads by latest post, not by popularity.

Nonetheless, these are small sacrifices for the chance to participate in the internet's largest community of film fans talking about what they watched. So it's doubly great when you find out that Smith backed up posts for IMDb's top 10,000 movies and TV shows before the discussion boards were discontinued.

MovieChat is an excellent example of how the internet serves its users even when corporations can't. It's also worth reading Wired's excellent article about Smith's crusade.

5. Big Cartoon Database (Web): Database of All Cartoons Ever Made

What IMDb does for movies, Big Cartoon Database (BCDB) does for cartoons. The website hosts a meticulous record of all cartoons ever made, along with all the information you'd want to know about it.

Whether it's Flintstones or Bugs Bunny, BCDB has the details about any toon. You'll get information about episodes or standalone cartoons, complete with a synopsis of what it's about, the cast and crew who worked on it, production notes, and media if available. You'll also often find links to download the cartoon through Amazon or iTunes.

BCDB also helps you discover cartoons with sections such as top 25 toons, most popular cartoons, or the monthly "hot 100". Or you can browse by studios such as Disney, Pixar, MGM, Warner Bros, etc. Finally, you can also chat with fellow cartoon lovers on the BCDB forums.

Ignore the Ratings

Whether you use IMDb or one of these alternatives, it's probably best if you ignore the rating system. Movie studios, fans, and other biases have crept into the movie-rating methodology. As a result, these ratings are not necessarily a reliable metric of whether a film is good or bad.
