/Film Named Essential Website By The Guardian

Posted on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

slashfilm guardian

/Film has been named one of the “100 Essential Websites” of 2009 by The Guardian, one of the UK’s top daily newspapers. /Film is one of only four movie related websites to make the list, alongside IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and the AOL-run movie blog Cinematical. The Guardian lists /Film as a website “to see before heading for the latest blockbuster at your local multiplex.” The publication also made note of Brendon Connelly’s weekly UK news update /Film UK. Here is what they said:

/Film: Said to be the favourite film blog of directors Jason Reitman and Darren Aronofsky, /Film features news, reviews, interviews and a special UK update each Friday.

How cool is that? Again, I want to thank the entire /Film team: David Chen, Russ Fischer, Hunter Stephenson, Devindra Hardawar, Brendon Connelly, Adam Quigley, Christopher Stipp, and of course, you the /Film readers. Without your support, we would not see such great honors.

    I used to be a IMDB fan but surfing our world wide web I discovered so many other great sites where I can see movie trailers or read reviews. /Film is definitely one of those sites. And the users here seem more serious than the ones on IMDB.

  • mbellerbrock
    Wow, great news, congratulations on this big accomplishment. That's a pretty prestigious group of movie sites. IMDb and RT will always have a place on my bookmark toolbar, but I now spend the majority of my online freetime here. Been hooked since sometime near the beginning of this year, I'm disappointed it took me so long to find you guys.

    On a side note, I've never been a reader of cinematical, for anyone who frequents both, what does cinematical offer that makes it an essential movie site?
  • jimbo134

    Seriously. Much much <3 /Film is the absolute best. Never have I agreed so often and entirely with film reviews. Plus, the /Filmcast fills my days and nights with the dulcet tones of David Chen, Adam Quigley and Devindra Hardawar.

    Love this site! Congrats! It's not just the content (which is great) but the layout/design. You manage to maintain a healthy balance of adverts to content - and whoever your graphic artists are they do a good job of not "junking it up" like so many other sites.

    Keep up the good work!
  • MonsterKilledThePilot

    Congrats to you all.
    I like this site a lot and I got someone to listen to your podcasts too.
    So you all are doing something right.
  • Just yesterday I was using /film's myriad of awards against some under handed criticism.

    Like the other I'll also thank the staff who do a great job all the time. I have only been reading this blog for a year come the 26th i believe. I have never put down as many comments on any forum or blog anywhere. I'm up to 856 in under 365 days now. A testament to how much I like the site and the other commenters. Here's looking at you dedicated /film commenting core. You know whom you are...
  • Nickolas
    Congratulations you crazy cats! I used to frequent aintitcoolnews but eventually realized that not only did you guys scoop them, but that they were just using your site to get the news they were posting on their site. KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!
  • Auster24
