Movie Tome was the sister site for TV Tome, now the CNET website TV.com. Whereas TV Tome had TV shows and people pages, Movie Tome had movie guides. The website was created no later than August 2003(the earliest archive), and was owned by Collaborative Content, LLC which was acquired by CNET in January 2005. Movie Tome had six general forums in addition to a forum for each movie.
Each movie information page at Movie Tome included release information, cast, crew, synopsis, recap, notes, goofs, links, and a forum for discussion of the movie. The majority of titles on the site appeared to be of recent vintage, however, with a wide smattering of pre-2000 titles, largely American.
All members of TV Tome were also members of Movie Tome. They retained their membership at Movie Tome when TV Tome was converted into TV.com.
Generally, the editing/submission format was exactly the same as the original TV Tome. However, the site eventually showed interest only in new releases; submitted new titles for older films, even with an offer to serve as editor, were ignored.
On December 7, 2006, CNET launched a new version of the site called FilmSpot (similar to the conversion of TV Tome to TV.com). The Movie Tome domain was permanently redirected to the new site on January 10, 2007.
