Film critic and columnist Roger Ebert, author of The Great Movies (2002) and The Great Movies II (2005), has written that this site is "an invaluable repository of movie descriptions and dialogue...(the) site represents a labor of love." He referred to the site in his Answer Man column as an "awesome website (that) contains detailed descriptions of 300 great American films, along with many other riches." He has also written: "The site offers many ways of looking at important films, but the centerpiece is his series of 100 long reviews of classics, including downloadable still photos, highly extensive plot summaries, and a lot of quotes... This site is useful for film students or others seeking an entry point into film history. He has essays on genres, periods and types of movies, and suggested titles in each area, and his sheer love for the movies comes across in his accuracy and energy."


Over a decade ago, Filmsite initiated the recent trend to select 100 landmark movies in the history of American-Hollywood cinema, that serve as signposts to map the milestones of our cinematic past. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, this site has a "rich collection of commentary and information about masterpieces of American cinema." In mid-2003, Variety featured the site in an article titled: "Filmsite has unique spin on top pix."
