The site, in 1998

Yahoo's film guide, with trailers, showtimes, reviews and box office figures.

It also carried red carpet photos and actor galleries, and let users write reviews, build lists of favourite films and buy tickets online. It started out as Upcoming Movies.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
