Here are some of the resources that I found about the movies I viewed. The first movie I viewed was THX 1138 by George Lucas. The website I found about this movie was very informative. It has footage of the actors getting their heads shaved for the movies, where your able to rent the movie. It also gives you a good over view of the movie. For instance THX 1138 was based on a movie that Lucas had did in film school. The movies original title was Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB. What I really liked about this web page is that it tells you what the movie is about because watching the movie you kind of get confused. There is also a section about how this movie has ties into other Lucas’s movies. For instance The “Shell Dwellers” are the basses for the “Jawas” in Starwars and the licence plate on Milner’s deuce coupe in American Graffiti was THX 138. Over all the web site was good.

The second movie I viewed was American Graffiti. The web page I found for this movie was based on where the film was shot. It talked about the film being shot in California and that it is about Lucas’s own adolescent years cruising the strip in Modesto, on highway 99. Modesto was not the place used to film the movies but Petaluma and Sanrafael were. They used these two towns because the had hardly changed. There is also the place Mel’s dinner which is in the movie and it was a real place but is no longer around.

The third movie I viewed was Prince of Tides by Barbra Streisand. The web site I found about this movie was more dedicated to Barbra and her career as a singer/actor/director/writer. It talked a lot about her career and the parts she had in movies. It post the lyric to her songs and it has a section about the Prince of Tides and what the movie was about. It also has a list of all of Barbra’s movies from Funny Girl the first movie she made to Mirror has Two Faces. I enjoyed this website it was entertaining.

The last movie I watched was Yentl. The web site I found for this page was all about the movie Yentl. Barbra wanted to direct/star/produce/write Yentl for her deceased father. Her father died when she was 15 months old. Barbra pretty much did every thing in this movie she did everything above and sang all the songs. The website has an introduction page that introduces the movie to you why it was made and what it is about. It has an area where you can watch the trailer. There is also a directors interview where she talks about the movie in her own words. It has a slide show full of pictures from the movie. I really liked this web site.
