ZEP's MOVIES

Back to the Future The second best trilogy ever. (Cool pic!)
Craig's OUTATIME BttF Website Last updated in 2001. Added '04Oct26

Conspiracy Theory - fun site about a cool movie. You can even e-mail the main character jerry@jerryfletcher.com.

"Forrest Gump Movie Quotes" from Les' Forrest Gump Page

Gladiator Dreamworks Fansite
Gladiator - History & The Times - convincing history of the film (but totally fabricated!)

Gremlins home page - just about the only site on the internet about the movie (Check out the "mogwai" pic at the bottom of the page)

Hulk - I loved the directing and screenplay in this film. CGI was less than desirable, but still a good flick worth seeing, especially the light it shines on the human condition. Looks like we won't be seeing the sequel until sometime in 2006. Sequel info added '04Jul26

The Long Kiss Goodnight - there aren't really any good sites about this movie, but Geena Davis definitely looks good in it!

Imladris: Lord of the Rings Movie News - This site informed me of the movie series yearsbefore most people had even heard about this wonderful advancement in the history of a classic fantasy epic. This site has multimedia, but not as much info as other sites. This is where I got most of the images for my LotR collage... I also made a Spike collage (PECO Energy Power Team's "mascot").
LordOfTheRings.net - official pics, so far. Not much otherwise.
TheOneRing.net - Lots of info and a few pics

The Passion of the Christ - "He was beaten for our iniquities. He was wounded for our transgressions and by his wounds we are healed. That's the point of the film. It's not about pointing the fingers. It's not about playing the blame game. It's about faith, hope, love and forgiveness... It is reality for me...I believe that. I have to." - Mel Gibson, interview with Diane Sawyer, Feb16
Passion Materials - Giving away FREE stuff!
Beliefnet Passion Research - Beliefnet is a site I refer to often for ALL things religion. FYI, everybody and their mother created a site on The Passion around the time of its release, especially many Christian ministries who are using the film as an evangelical tool.
Zepfanman's Words - I found Gibson's way of weaving in Catholic tradition with gospel truth an effective and fresh way to experience Christ's sacrifice. Passion links updated '04Oct26

Pleasantville (1998) - This was a pleasant video rental surprise. One of the pre-Spiderman Tobey Maguire movies. It is a message about change, revolution, and... a 50's sitcom? That's right, check it out at your nearest video store!

Rain Man (my all-time fav) - too bad there are not many sites about this flick (here's one, but you must navigate to find the Rain Man page). (Watching TV, Walking)

Rocky - Believe it or not a Rocky VI is in the works, but Stallone isn't sure he can take the beating at his age! I'm especially a fan of IV.
Rocky Movies WebRing - 27 sites, all about the same, really.

Spaceballs

Star Wars - In case you somehow missed it, this is covered (more than any other movie or series on this site) extensively in the Star Wars section!

TheBourneIdentity.com - You can already read all four books from this movie series starring Matt Damon. Who knows if they'll be making more than four, but you can see the first two films so far. Added '04Jul26

WhatIsTheMatrix.com - Warner Brothers official site. Finally in 2003, the second two movies in the series: The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Very good site even with a "philosophy" section.

The Patriot

The Princess Bride - Script, links, info, pics, script, sounds, and what-not
Tulip's Home Page - another source for The Princess Bride script

The Thin Red Line - (Woody Harrelson-made-a-mistake pic!)

Time Changer opened 2002 Oct. 25th in select theaters. "What if you could see the impact of your beliefs? One man will!" QuickTime or RealVideo trailers available on the website.

Vision Quest - the only quality (NOT pro) wrestling movie out there, that I know of

Planet Zartakon - this has a lot of info about Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and its relation to The Wizard of Oz as the soundtrack to the movie

The first, Star Wars: A New Hope, was loosely based on the Japanese film The Hidden Fortress. Episode one appears to be based on The Seven Samurai. However, the "Bail Organa" as a Jedi Knight thing does not make sense. We know Bail Organa was alive at the time of ANH, but Tarkin said Vader was the last of their "religion." Wouldn't he be dead if he was a leader of the Knights?

StarWars.com - The Official Site OK site with up-to-date info on the prequels. Too much pay-to-see "Hyperspace" club info nowadays.Hyp. info added '04Jul26

TheForce.net This site has just about everything about the trilogy(s) that you could imagine.
CUSWE It looks like TheForce.net also houses this "Unofficial" SW Encyclopedia. CUSWE added '04Jun26

DChiang.com - production designer for Star Wars projects now working on other things. See fascinating Robota "film-book" and trailer.

EchoStation.com (formerly The Alliance) - I think this Star Wars group is going to take over the universe soon

Galactic Symbols - "coats of arms" for different characters in the trilogy. While watching the films, I have noticed that, like our own world, there a "symbols" and logos all over the place. Go to the alt.binaries.starwars newsgroup and put out a request. Surf around and collect all of them (Try the Boba Fett Multimedia Vault for Fett's symbols). Scan some from the various Star Wars books. (Tips I got from the Texas A&M SW site. Let me know if you've found any in your own web search. I would be eternally grateful ;-)

P.S. I started this SW documentation on April 19, 1997.
