A good movie deserves a good website, certainly everyone agrees with that. The cinematic experience exists no longer exclusively on the big screen, but also on much smaller one (preferably 19″). Production companies figured it out alright, and now it seems that movie websites are functioning like extended trailers – a promise of what is yet to come.

Almost every new feature is boasting a cutting edge website, with as much design pyrotechnics as possible. In many cases, the actual films cannot deliver the goods that the sites so boldly offer. High expectations – big disappointments.

Nevertheless, since movie sites have everything to do with visual stimulation, they often provide pure fun for web designers. That’s why you’ll find here 20 extremely cool film sites (some released just recently, some coming soon to theaters) that combine the best of both worlds – cinema and the world wide web. Click on the images to be taken to each film’s website.
