Welcome to the Internet Movie Database, the biggest, best, most award-winning movie site on the planet.
IMDb's 15th Anniversary 15 years ago today the Internet Movie Database, in essence, took shape. To celebrate that fact we've created a retrospective, of movies and of our own history, on a special 15th Anniversary page. On it we have our editors' picks for the best films of the last 15 years, our own history page, highlights of the individual years in movies (we'll start you out at 1990 and let you go from there), and, for a limited time, a $15 offer for headshot purchases with our Publicity Photos service. Most of all, however, we want to thank all of those who contributed, corrected, criticized, coerced, and (sometimes) complimented us along the way. We couldn't have done it without you and you share in this accomplishment. Our thanks again: The founders and staff of the IMDb.
Today's IMDb Poll Question Is: The editorial staff individually listed our favorite films of the last 15 years. We then aggregated the lists, creating IMDb's top films (by weighted average) for 1990-2005. Which film from the list would you vote #1?

IMDb Movie of the Day
You know you're truly in the unyielding grip of obsessive love when it takes you all the way to Halifax, Nova Scotia. That's where Adele (Isabelle Adjani) travels to from France -- in 1863, no less -- to make her case to the handsome man who has captured her heart, and whose rejection she refuses to accept. Insinuating herself into the life of the small town that's a pinpoint of civility in the Canadian wilderness, Adele spins stories fantastical of her devotion to Lt. Albert Pinson (Bruce Robinson), and her ensuing humiliations only further stoke the fire of passion that burns in her. The Story of Adele H. is a searing, almost painful tale of love gone haywire, and it's made all the more powerful by the fact that it's a true story. Adele H. is Adele Hugo, the daughter of famed French novelist Victor Hugo, and she meticulously recorded the details of her obsessive journey in both her personal diary and in letters to her father. Filmmaker François Truffaut used those sources, along with maps, early photographs and military logs to illuminate Adele's plight and meticulously re-create the time in which his heroine lived and loved. And in Adjani, who was a mere 19 years old when the film was made, he found a beautiful center for his film. Appearing almost fragile, with a timelessly beautiful face seemingly made for drawing room portraits, Adjani gave Adele a true will of steel and astonishingly fierce sense of purpose. For her stunning performance, the young actress was rewarded with numerous critics' awards and an Oscar nomination. - Mark Englehart
