Ok, in no particular order, here are a few of my favourite webs:
www.imdb.com
For those of you who know me you know I loooooooooooooove movies. Since a very early age I remember browsing through my grannies album of Hollywood stars and I was hooked.
This website, the International Movie Database, it's brilliant. If you remember as much as an actor on the movie or TV series, or the title or even just part of it, it finds it for you & you have EVERYTHING (well, almost) about the movie/series in question: full credits, plot, pictures, trailer, trivia & music. Although this last bit is not as comprehensive. And that is why, I recently discovered...
www.tunefind.com
...which claims to find the music from TV and movies alike. So far I haven't been disappointed. You search by title and it lists the music featured on it. For the TV series it lists them by series & episodes. And you can even hear a snippet of some of the songs.
www.wordreference.com
This is a dictionary online but it's much, much more. English to Spanish & vice-versa is one of my favourites for obvious reasons, since I teach both languages. But there is also English with English definitions, pronunciation in both British English & American English, verbs conjugators in many languages and a forum section where you can ask the meaning of things you don't find in the main part, specially useful for idioms.
Now, I'm done for now. Maybe I listed the obvious, but hey, I never claimed I'd be original. And if you didn't know them, you get to use and enjoy these websites as much as I do, well, then is...mission accomplished!
You forgot www.themadcatlady.com! :)
