Motion pictures continue to be a medium of the big screen and
though the Internet may not yet be a delivery vehicle for movies, it is
certainly a medium for advertising new movies and for discussion about
them. The Internet provides a forum for both professional and amateur film
fans to trade information about movies past and present. In addition, movie
studios and distributors are taking advantage of the World Wide Web's multimedia
presentation capability to create elaborate sites from which to create
excitement and mystique about films yet to be released. Follow these links
to see how this entertainment medium is using the Internet to enhance film's
image and how fans are using the Web in response.
