About Us

Show Your Support!

We've received a lot of feedback over the years and we often get asked if there is something that can be done in support of The BigScreen Cinema Guide. We're happy to tell you that there is!

Here are a few ways in which you can help us spread the word and make sure that The BigScreen Cinema Guide remains the best there is. After all, the more popular we become and the more revenue we can raise, the more features we can offer to our readers (T-shirt give-aways, more schedule details, etc.)!

Subscribe to our VIP Service

VIP Service is a subscription that blocks all popup, popunder, and banner advertising on The BigScreen Cinema Guide for an entire year, at a very low cost. When you subscribe to VIP Service, you are supporting this site, and in return, you don't have to view the annoying advertising that is so prevalent across the web!

Turn This...Into This!
Popup ads get in the way and they take too long to download. With VIP Service, you avoid the ads and get pages faster, plus extra features!

Advertise With Us!

The BigScreen Cinema Guide is a great way to reach people interested in entertainment as well as those located in specific geographical locations (around the theaters they attend). If you, or anyone you know, is interested in advertising or sponsoring pages within The BigScreen Cinema Guide, please take a look at (or refer them to) our Advertising Information.

Shop from our Gift Shop and Merchandise Partners

We've compiled some great movie-related items in our Gift Shop for your browsing pleasure. We get offers from time to time to present to our readers, and that's where they will be. Check out DVD's and electronics from Amazon.com and prints from Allposters.com, rent DVD's from Netflix, and check out some really great Disney gear from the Disney store!

Rent DVD's from Netflix

Ever since we tried renting DVD's by mail through Netflix, we've been hooked! Nothing beats the convenience of having DVD's delivered right to your door, you get to keep them as long as you want, and then you put them back in the mail with the postage already paid for you.

For more information about how Netflix works, you can click on the graphic at the right, or you can visit our Netflix page in the Gift Shop. We recommend the service very highly, and if you subscribe through a link on our site, we get a nice commission from Netflix as a thank-you. (Lest you think the commission is the only reason we recommend Netflix, other services like them have approached us, and we've refused.)

Buy from Amazon.com

On schedule pages and review pages, you'll see a sidebar similar to the one at the right, which will indicate that there are related items available for purchase on Amazon's site (such as the movie's soundtrack or the movie itself, when it comes out on VHS and DVD), and we've made them easy to find by placing a link directly to them. For an example of how these links appear in reviews, please take a look at the review for Titanic, it has them all!

Every time that you purchase something through a link or search dialog located on The BigScreen Cinema Guide, it helps us to keep this publication going, since such advertising and sponsorships are the way we pay the bills around here! We'd appreciate it if you would help us out by coming here first when you're looking for videos, books, and CD's.

Tell the Theaters

Since we began in 1995, we've seen phenomenal growth in the popularity of The BigScreen Cinema Guide. From covering just a couple theaters in the Milwaukee area only, we're now publishing schedules for every theater in the state of Wisconsin and expanding throughout the country!

Although we have received active cooperation from many theaters, it would seem that many more theaters still do not know that their customers read The BigScreen Cinema Guide!

You can help to support The BigScreen Cinema Guide by printing this printable page and taking it with you to the theater.

Hand it to the manager or ticket clerk, so that the theater knows that you read about them here!

Tell Everyone Else!

Tell your friends, neighbors, relatives, and anyone else who will listen, that you read The BigScreen Cinema Guide, and that we're the best source for information on what's playing in local theaters. Not only do we have movie schedules (anyone can do that, heck, even the newspapers), but we have theater information, movie reviews, links to the IMDb, the official web sites, movie trailers, news and events articles, "coming soon" information and links to the movie studios as well.

Since we don't do a lot of advertising (you wouldn't believe how much a tiny ad in a newspaper costs!), we rely on the best kind of advertising there is: word of mouth. By working our fingers to the bone and putting our noses to the grindstone, we're doing our best to produce the best publication around. If you agree, spread the word!
