Verdict: Cinema Paradiso's website is clean and colorful with a cool movie theme. DVDs are well organized into 20 categories including a powerful search tool. You can easily add rentals to your watch list by clicking on the 'Add Button'.
The dvd descriptions are the best we seen
in the dvd rental market. The detailed descriptions feature links to cast and directors, movie details and user reviews. I especially like the Oscar statues they have used as a rating tool rather than the regular stars.
Other than lacking more editorial hot lists provided by the other market leaders, Cinema Paradiso is a superb site.
