Movie Scene Database: MovieClips.com

I love to use movies in my classes and I have often dreamed of a database of movie scenes that I could search to find language examples when I need some. Well, it’s not perfect, but MovieClips.com is pretty close to what I want. You can search more than 12,000 short scenes. I had good luck with searches for “apologies” and “compliments.” Many of the movies are unavailable outside of North America, unfortunately, and some movies require you to sign in because of age-restricted content, but I found it worked fairly smoothly. And you can create mashups (i.e., edit content together) with the scenes you choose.
