Internet Movie Data Base is probably the best online database on film. However it is most reliable for recent US films where you'll find links to reviews and videoclips - not so hot for our period!.
It's sponsored by Amazon so it lists easy to buy options, and it's useful to check if a video/DVD is available. If you are truly desperate you can order the USA copy if the UK one is not listed, but check if your VCR can cope with NTSC format - all newer ones can. Bit more expensive though and mail takes longer! First check if anyone else has it - see OUSA A420 conference
Do try the 'more searches/power search'

Here are a few other sites you might find useful
http://www.britmovie.co.uk/
Has excellent links and short video clips for some of our films such as The Third Man, A Clockwork Orange, The Bridge over the River Kwai, Dr. Strangelove, Carry On Again Doctor, Dr. No, The Italian Job - but you will need the plugin Realplayer
http://www.britishpictures.com/
Covers 30s. 40s, but also 50s - has good links
http://allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=M139
This is the 'British Cinema' page of All Movie Guide - but also trying going to their Home - the link takes you there - almost as good as IMDB - better on short potted biographies
http://www.nmpft.org.uk/
Has a good British Cinema Bibliography (search under 'film') updated to January 2001 (maybe they'll update it to 2002!)
