In an attempt to steer Internet users’ attention away from P2P and toward legal movie options, the UK Film Council has launched a new site called FindAnyFilm.com. The website searches across all kinds of media—from theater showings to DVD to online streams to digital downloads—in order to present users with as many legal ways to watch a particular movie as possible. And, although the Film Council is dripping with overly-positive praise for its own product, the site is actually pretty useful, as long as the movies are actually available in any of those formats.
"Film fans’ lives have just been revolutionised," says the UK Film Council, with the launch of the "ground-breaking" FindAnyFilm.com. The site contains film records for some 30,000 movies—approximately seven years’ worth of films—and is apparently expanding on a daily basis. The site allows users to search by various genres, moods, locations, or keywords, and can even find films in 60 different languages.
