Life

A couple of days ago, I visited, once again, one of my favorite movie sites I've discovered so far.  I've proclaimed numerous times about my fascination with the site and how much I respect and admire the writers behind the reviews and other articles.
Well, I was looking through their articles after not going there for a while (and boy, was there a lot of articles to look at) and I noticed one named PICTORIAL: Life's insight into geek movie history, which for some reason I passed by at first.  When I finally looked at it, I was pleasantly surprised at what I found.
"On the 18th November Google announced that it had secured an agreement to make available online about 10 million photos from the Life magazine archive. It's a collection of staggering breadth and depth, dating back in certain p arts to the 18th century, and comfortably covering the entire history not only of cinema but of photography."
Then below, many photos were available to look at.  It was mesmerizing really.  The photos were amazing and behind the scenes shots for some of the most celebrated movies out there could be seen.
If you want to try it out for yourself, type in a word (be it a movie, director, actor, etc.) and then after it type "source:life".  You'll like what you see.
