The following is forwarded from the list run by the American
Association of Teachers of German.
Details of the organisation are at:
http://www.aatg.org/
Subscription details for the list are at:
http://www.aatg.org/aatglist.html
For those unfamiliar with the wonderful resource that is the
Internet Movie Database, its 'regular' UK address is:
http://uk.imdb.com/
although this new development looks especially useful for teachers of
film in Modern Languages departments.
The best German-language equivalent is Movieline:
http://www.movieline.de/
though there are several others. For further film-related Websites,
