The Internet Movie Database, or IMDB for most people, is the best reference site for movie and TV related information in the history of everything.
Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit, but I can't think of any other web tool that librarians and fans turn to when they are in need of movie related information. Where else can you find the most up-to-date information about movies and television?
Need to know who the current box office leaders are? BAM!
Want a complete list of this years Golden Globe winners? TA DA!
Do you love Cary Grant and want to see all his movies? BOOYAH!
You can't go anywhere else on the web (that I know of) and find all this information in single, quick, and easy to search tool.
IMDB tells you everything you could possibly want to know about a film - including the plot summaries, cast and production staff, box office details, technical specs, trivia, memorable quotes, filming goofs, nominations and awards, and much much more.
Like Wikipedia, it is quite easy to get sucked into a vortex of information. You start of looking for information on James Cameron and you end up reading about an independent French film.
