A Letter From Our Founder & CEO, Col Needham

"My all-time favourite director is Alfred Hitchcock, and as well as leaving us with 53 feature films (including my all-time favourite film and many other classics), Hitchcock holds the record for the shortest ever Oscar acceptance speech. While accepting the Irving Thalberg Memorial Award at the Oscar ceremony in 1968, he simply said two words: 'Thank you.' Though Hitchcock's appreciation may have been tinged with some irony, mine is not. This is a whole-hearted, grateful 'thank you' that comes on the occasion of IMDb's 25th anniversary. 'Thank you' is mostly what I want to say here on behalf of the whole IMDb team to you, our 250 million monthly worldwide customers."
