Recommended urls - Introduction

Being a complete Internet addict, I spend most of my time on-line. Here are some of my personal favourite web sites (split into categories), along with a quick explantion as to why the site or page has made it onto my list ...

film and cinema...

  • manhunter.net ain't bad either ;-)
