What is Flixster?

Founded in January, 2006, Flixster is a social network devoted to movies and actors. Along with being able to add friends and discuss movies, members can utilize their extensive free database on movies and actors.

Flixster is also able to recommend friends based on similar tastes in movies. This is accomplished by rating movies and having those ratings compared to others who have also rated enough movies.

Why Should I Use Flixster?

Flixster is great for anyone who enjoys movies, and a must-have-bookmarked website for anyone who fancies themselves a movie buff. Along with being able to rate and review movies, there are extensive quizzes that users can take to test their movie knowledge, and you can even create your own quizzes.

So, whether you love watching Die Hard over and over again, or Fried Green Tomatoes is more your style, Flixster can keep you entertained and help you decide if that new movie at the theaters is worth your time or is going to be a bust.
