Have you tried IMDB's Advanced Search options?
Sure, you've used Internet Movie DataBase for all kinds of movie info- release dates, running times, finding actors & actresses. But did you know you can do even more by using the Advanced Search options? To get to them, just click on the Search button at the top of the screen, without entering anything in the search box. One I've found especially handy is Collaborations and Overlaps. For example, you remember you saw a movie that both Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey were in, but it was long before The Men Who Stare at Goats. Put the two names into the Two People Working Together search (don't forget to select the correct name from the drop down menu), and you get a list of titles, including tv shows, that they both participated in, and there you see it: K-PAX, from 2001. You can also use the Common Cast/Crew search to find out which people worked on any two movies together. For example, a search for Thirteen and Twilight reveals that 10 people worked on both movies, including the director, 2 actresses, and several sound staff.
