"Moviefone isn't the only film-centric site to turn almost-legal of late \u2014 IMDb.com is turning 20, and with that milestone is launching IMDb20, the Amazon-owned company\u2019s 20-year anniversary campaign. \nIMDb.com has been a beacon for film lovers for two decades now \u2014 I myself discovered it in high school \u2014 and although many journalism schools don't count it as a \"legit source,\" it's pretty much the bible for many a cinephile. \n\u201CIMDb saved me an insane amount of time in my life,\u201D says director Kevin Smith in an announcement on IMDb.com. \u201CI think of every fight I ever got in with somebody who just didn\u2019t have a crucial piece of movie information at their fingertips. I said one thing. They said another. Loggerheads. Relationships destroyed. IMDb comes along and just immediately solves that.\"\nAnd, starting this week, there's about to be a ton more stuff for Smith and Co. to check out in celebration of the big 2-0. Every day, IMDb will feature an original video interview with a celebrity (the site has supported vids since 2008, but this is its first foray into original content), until October 17, which is IMDb's official b'day. All this will function as a kind of look-back at the last 20 years in film. Readers can also build top 20 lists of fave films with the help of IMDb's list-making tool, which can then be shared on Facebook and the like.\nIf you head to IMDb's dedicated IMDbB20 site now, there's a ton of content to surf through, including a collection of trailers, top 20 lists and an interview with Gossip Girl's Blake Lively. \nWhat do you think of IMDb's transformation over the years \u2014 from basic database to social integration to offering apps? Is it still your source for all things cinematic, or have you found something younger and more spry?\nImage Courtesy of Flickr, jessica.diamond"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
