To add to our ever-expanding list of film databases, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) this month launches TCMdb, a media-rich interactive movie database. According to the TCM website, "The new database will feature content related to more than 130,000 titles and more than 10 million distinct pieces of information, spanning movie history from the 1890s to films currently in production. The database includes library content licensed from the American Film Institute's Catalog of Feature Films, with additional content purchased from Internet Movie Database, Inc. and other sources, allowing TCM to include film content from all of the major movie studios. TCMdb is hosted by the network via its Web site, www.turnerclassicmovies.com, or can be directly accessed at www.tcmdb.com."
