ONLINE TICKETING & SHOWTIMES
MovieTickets.com
My preferred source to buy movie tickets online. It also remembers my favorite theatres.
Rotten Tomatoes
Anyone who wants to know what the critics are saying about the latest films should get to know this site. Its rating system will save you countless dollars lost to bad movies, and if you want only one site to visit to read countless reviews, this is the one.

Apple Trailers is a suberb source for high-quality trailers. I recommend you watch them in the 720p format; it takes a while to download, but is worth it. If not, the Large format is just fine. Or, visit the iTunes site below to download trailers you want to see again and again.
Apple makes it easy to find the most recently posted trailers with a "Just Added" button that sorts all trailers by date published. A handy feature for those of us who don't want to miss anything new (or bother watching something twice).
Yahoo! Movies
Another good source of trailers. Yahoo! also allows you to compile lists of movies you want to see.

iTunes
As stated above, the advantage of iTunes is, you can download very large, high-quality, full-screen trailers which you can then watch again and again without waiting for the download each time.

New York Times
A great source of news, the Times has a comprehensive Movies section with its own subsection devoted to trailers. Times' movies section is also available as an RSS feed.

This unique little site features not only the latest high-quality trailers, but exclusive clips and making-of featurettes.
When all else fails, YouTube frequently comes through.
OPENING DATE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Knowing about newly announced movie opening dates is vital when you track as many films as I do. It doesn't mean a thing to have the movie listed in your database if people can't find out about it when it's playing.
My preferred source, because you can keep browsing into the future a month at a time, indefinitely.
Many, many titles are found here that you are not likely to find anywhere else.
Never hurts to have one more place to check.
MovieTickets.com

(And yes, if you don't usually buy your tickets before you leave the house, I highly recommend it. You're ensured the movie won't sell out, and you won't wait in line, which is worth the extra charge.)
Fandango.com
Another popular site, Fandango allows you to store a running list of movies you want to see. Highly useful.

IMDb
So many of you use IMDb each day, but did you know you can buy your tickets there? Now you do.

Ebert is the most insightful, trusted and informed film critic today. I check his page each Friday, and subscribe to his RSS feed.

INDIE, ART & FOREIGN CINEMA
TheAuteurs.com (Note: This site is in beta.)
A highly promising new venture that you should know about and promote amongst your cinephile friends. It has partnered with Scorcese's World Cinema Foundation (which restores old films) to present rare films online, both for a charge, and for free.
Movie news from a distinctly "trade" oriented point of view.
Ain't It Cool News by Harry Knowles
A fabulous geek site for lots of timely tidbits and trash about the latest movies. This site has its own personality, and isn't for everyone, but I promise that over time you will learn to appreciate it for the many scoops and valuable resources you will find here. Also available via RSS.
