You have reached our help section, also known as the IMDb University. We've tried to organize the University so that it is as easy and as fun as possible for you to get answers to your questions and learn more about how to use our site. If you need to reach IMDb with a problem, general feedback or business inquiry please visit our contacts page.

If you look in the column to the left, you'll find links to the various informative sections we've put together, covering simple searching and browsing to complex "techie" stuff for people who want to get more in depth.

New users should take the guided tour of the site. This tour, using frames, gives you a look around the Internet Movie Database, pointing out some of the things we think are pretty fun. The Alphabetical Index lists a plethora of various features and sections for more experienced users who know what they want and just need a little help finding it.

If you have a specific movie question (like "what was that movie with [actor A] and [actor b] in it?") and are looking for the specific feature or search form that will help you answer it, check out Which Courses to Take. This feature takes generic versions of a number of common questions (like the one above) and points you to the courses that will help you find the answer.

We believe that once you've taken the guided tour, you'll find the course names pretty self-explanatory. If you are having difficulty, each course begins with a one paragraph explanation of what's in it and what questions it will answer. Just click the link, read the first paragraph, and see if it's for you.

If you have a question about our site you believe is not answered here, we also have a help desk that can try to answer it for you.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope you'll enjoy our site and all the fun features it has to offer.
