Starring the Computer film database

The next time you’re working at the reference desk and someone wants to know what kind of computer was used in the classic 1973 movie “Invasion of the Bee Girls,” well, now you have a place to turn. ” The Verge directs your attention to the Starring the Computer which describes itself as, “…a website dedicated to the use of computers in film and television. Each appearance is catalogued and rated on its importance (ie. how important it is to the plot), realism (how close its appearance and capabilities are to the real thing) and visibility (how good a look does one get of it). Fictional computers don’t count (unless they are built out of bits of real computer), so no HAL9000 – sorry.”
