Type of site Aggregator of movie reviews
Created by Stewart M. Clamen
Launched 1993

The Movie Review Query Engine -- also known as “MRQE” (pronounced “marquee”) -- is a leading index of movie reviews published online. The continually growing site provides a searchable index of all published and available movie and DVD reviews. MRQE aggregates reviews, news, interviews, and other material associated to specific movies. Since 1993[1] , its database and search engine have been continuously upgraded by Stewart M. Clamen. MRQE's database of movies includes: classic and modern films, foreign and domestic films, major releases and limited engagements (independent films)[2]. MRQE provides information for movies in theatres, movies out on DVD/Blu-Ray, and movies shown on AMC (TV network), TCM, and IFC[3].

MRQE has received nothing short of praise from Roger Ebert, Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, "I visit MRQE daily at the very least, and find it an invaluable resource. It’s one of the obligatory websites for movie lovers."[4] MRQE was also listed as one of Ebert's "Five Most Useful Movie Sites" [5]

On March 20, 2009, MRQE had 735,530 reviews and other articles, indexed by 74,409 movie titles, in its database[6].
