Like its parent site IMDb.com, according to Amazon, IMDb.de features details and facts for over 1.3 million titles, including 35,000 German titles and 2.7 million celebrities. 

"Our customers have asked us to make IMDb Websites available in their local language. Today, we're happy to start fulfilling this wish with a Website created for German speakers," says Colin Bryar, vice president, IMDb.com. "The site will offer our most popular features, and we plan to add even more content in the future." 

The IMDb.de features include the ability to search for movies in any language and view the results in German. Visitors can also get instant access to additional English data on IMDb.com.  

DVDs, music and related products can be purchased from Amazon.de as well as all other Amazon sites. IMDb.de is completely free of charge to all users and will offer help and customer support in German. 

The Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com), says the company, is one of the most popular online entertainment destinations, with over 57 million unique visitors each month. IMDb offers a searchable database of over 1.3 million movies, TV and entertainment programs and over 2.7 million cast and crew members.
