Well, caps-a-holic is very nice and professional, but it has almost nothing on HDTV or fullscreen DVD, and doesn't allow user entries; screenshotcomparison is simple and allow user entries, but it has also empty and wrong entries; diff.pics and framecompare allow user entries and, most important, more than two pics comparison, but lack a search engine...
Now, it will be nice to have a lightweight site like one of the latter, which DOES not host internally pics (so, a lot less bandwidth and web space), and allow something more; namely, a search engine, a fullscreen comparison, and a slide to see the before/after; I hunted high and low, but without success...
So, maybe we can do it - we made this very forum, at the end, so it would be a walk in the park.
For the moment,I set up a simple comparison here: http://ultimateaspectratio.co.nf/TheArrival.html
The idea is simple:
PROs: barebone, fast, low bandwidth and webspace usage
CONs: relies on external picture hosting that would eventually disapper one day (but screenshotcomparison hosted itself the image, and look what happened few months ago...)
There is a coder (or more than one) among us, so I'm pretty sure he could say it's quite easy to do so...

The idea is simple:
- setup a free subdomain
- main page will be a simple search engine
- an input page (maybe password protected, so only our members could add pics, and so spam will be avoided) with FIVE simple variables:
- name of the movie (which will appear in the page title)
- URLs for both images
- releases for both images
- name of the movie (which will appear in the page title)
- a script (PHP?) will create a new page named as the movie, and feed the other four variables to the easy js

Unethical, but workable? And there's a backup! Oh no wait ... they'll just wipe everything again someday and we'll be left without images...
