| Description: | This link will take you to a list of W&L databases which contain evaluations or essays on motion pictures, both contemporary and historical. | |
| Usage Tips: | If you are looking for information on a movie with a very distinctive title, that title probably is the only search term you need. Example: "big lebowski"
However, if the title is not unique and/or it also might be the title of a book, you probably will need to refine your search by including some cinematic terms. Example: crash AND (movie* OR film* OR motion OR cinema) Additional Notes: The asterisk is the above examples generates a search in most databases for various forms of a word (singular, plural, etc.). If you want to search for a multi-word phrase, as in the Big Lebowski example above, enclose the words within quotation marks. | |
