The Internet is full of silly pages, stupid pages and great web pages. There are also some pages that make you just go 'who the hell requested this?!?' While I could go all year on this subject, I specifically want to bring your attention to two that I keep coming across in my search for pictures. First off, I bring you...
The Internet Movie Cars Database
This is exactly what it sounds like, albeit taken to the Nth degree of ridiculousness. Have you ever watched a movie and said 'I wonder what model of Lincoln was in the back of that shot and out of focus?' Well, this is the page for you!

From the front page, you search by model and type of car. It will give you links and pictures of said cars in the backgrounds (occasionally, the fore-ground of shots). This is not relegated to simply 'James Bond drove this car in ___ ____.' It is more like 'James Bond drove past this car for three seconds during a chase scene in ___ ____' Think I'm kidding? Check out the Casino Royale page for every car in the movie, not even just his.

If you think that this is silly, check out this film's 'bastard child'...
This is pretty much just what it sounds like and nothing more. The difference is that this site covers film, television and newsreel! Suck on that, Buses on Newsreels Only! This page also has a Casino Royale section, but it is relegated to a single user description of a bus cameo. How lame is that?*
Like any internet site, there is even a spot for film nerds to point out continuity problems like this one from Children of Men, "As the second M is about to pull away, Clive Owen's character runs to board it. However, the footage from aboard the bus is of an Arriva London VLW-class Volve B7TL/Wright Gemini." Duh, everyone knew that!

So yeah, these pages are really dumb. How about you just stick to good pages?
Amazing? Yes.
