Speaking of the best, I have come to rely on critics' reviews of things like movies, TV, music, books, in order to save time in my search for the best in whatever medium.
A site that is very useful in this regard is Metacritic (link) which is a site that compiles a number of reviews giving an overall average score. Very handy, and a far cry from looking about randomly, or even taking a single critic's word, so it is easy to find the best of the best in many different areas.
Here's a shot of the aggregate review for House of Flying Daggers, a great kungfu flick.
It was mentioned recently in another thread, and I'm pretty to sure this will be familiar to many, if not most of you, but is worth mentioning for those who don't know it.
IMDB, or the Internet Movie DataBase, is a great resource for researching films. I started using it when I needed to find out if a particular film was suitable for showing in school. I go to it when I just have to find out what other film I know that actor from. I go there to find other movies by a favourite director.
Here, for example, is a link to the great kungfu movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. While looking it up, I discovered that there is going to be a sequel coming out this year. See? Good resource.
I haven't used it for a long time but I remember that I enjoyed it a lot in the past. It is basically a database with music sheets and a very nice user experience. So, if you play music and don't know Chromatik.com yet, you might want to have a look. :-)
Charles Siheng, that reminds me of the Internet Archive which is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, and more. I am sure that you know about it. :-)
It is amazing how big it is!
One of my favorite places in this Web Site is the Way Back Machine where you can check how almost any website in the world evolved since its creation.

Ah, you give me too much credit. I started this thread because I know very little and want to learn more!
Thanks for posting these. I will check them out soon.
Probably many of you have seen this great short film already. I just watched it again today after many years. It always brings me joy and a big smile. Enjoy! :-)
This is one of my most favorite videos on Youtube. It deeply touches my heart every time I watch it and it is an inspiring reminder for always being grateful in my life. :-)

So I am sincere in my desire for your suggestions. 
I go there to find other movies by a favourite director.
