Places to find more Movie Costume Pictures
To find more costume pictures on your own....
| Look for
| the official site for the movie |
| the fan site for the movie |
|
Sites that normally have good sized pics of the latest movies
| Rotten Tomatoes
| Very good resolution on pics |
| Besides having the PR pics, they also print all of the studio's
release notes so check out their "about" tab for more costume
information |
| They've been around a while so they have some of the older movies
too |
| Only downside, costume and fantasy movies don't get any special
treatment so they're not likely to have any "extra" pictures. |
|
| Coming Soon.net
| Sometimes have extra pictures |
| Good resolution |
|
| Monsters and Critics
| A bit hard to navigate sometimes, but start searches in
their database. |
| Won't always have pictures, but when they're doing special
coverage, can find some nice hard to find pics |
| Sometimes have extra articles |
| Also cover theater so may have pics of the latest plays |
|
| Out Now
| Swiss site that has high rez images of some of the latest movies.
They won't have everything, but on movies covered, do sometimes have
more pictures. |
|
| All Movie Photos
| Has wonderfully large images of current and future movies.
However, they're a bit tough to navigate. Look under the stars
name and be patience, there's lots and lots of adds. |
|
| Also check out the next section. Pictures of original
costumes displayed for sale make great reference. |
Sites with pictures of classic movies:
| Dr Macro's High Quality Movie
Scans - Golden Age of Hollywood
| Wonderful cleaned-up scans of the old 8x10 glossy movie publicity
stills from the golden age of Hollywood. These are groups by
actor/actress,
movie
(with a summary and old posters),

Odies Collectibles - Classic Sci-Fi
| This website centers on Irwin Allen Films and other Classic 50's and
60's Sci-fi. It has image gallery, collectables, props, posters
and more. |

|

Please write and recommend even more sites.
Original Movie Costumes for Sale
Want the original costume? Want to own a piece of cinema history?
Have a big budget? There are web sits out there that sell the original

constantly.
