I was in bed with the cats, watching Last Drive In, and started looking up a zine published a few years back by a devoted fan of The Last Drive In with Joe Bob Briggs. My search sent me down a rabbit hole that ended up at this absolutely amazing archive of covers from magazine devoted to movies.

In the site owner's own words:

What is this site?

  • A guide to publications covering cinema. Contains a comprehensive index of professional and fan movie magazines, with brief profiles, cover pages and list of contents if known.

  • An amateur's site "dedicated to movie related publications".

  • A data base covering movie magazines.

Why did I make it?
I'm reading, buying, collecting moviemags since 1990 and when I first browsed the internet I was very disappointed to find very few sites for moviemags. So I started the site in 1997 as a lot of links to movie magazines. Then covers and content were added for various issues.

Definitely check it out when you get a minute. And scroll down for a random selection of covers from the site. There are magazines and eras from all over the world to explore. Kinda wish I had thought of it. Check out the Charlie Chaplin cover below - absolutely beautiful.
