They Shoot Pictures, Don't They

Here's a great website for film buffs like me! A description of the site taken from their About page:

As you can tell, by glancing through our website, we take film lists very seriously. It is our bread and butter. We love to compile them, we love to refer to them, and we love bringing them to you. We have databases and spreadsheets coming out of our a---s, and we are constantly on the look out for more interesting lists to add to our insanely prosperous collection. We are, I am afraid, guilty as charged. Make no mistake, referring to and utilising film lists is an extremely useful tool (otherwise, we probably wouldn't be here) that can assist in the discovery of many wonderful films and filmmakers that you may have previously not encountered. They Shoot Pictures is indeed primarily a film list resource, and, as we mention above, we make no bones about that.
