This website is not reliable, because in order to gather information you have to register, it costs money to register so credit card details would be needed. It shows a range of Independent films but doesn't advertise heavily, it's just a place to watch films so it doesn't promote film heavily making it a bad source.

 This is a movie database of foreign films, where you can watch/read about foreign films. It posts this disclaimer that shows it's not a reliable source. It gathers it's content from other websites that could also not be reliable. 

'foriegnmoviesddl does not host any of the files mentioned on this blog or on its own servers. foriegnmoviesddl only points out to various links on the Internet that already exist and are uploaded by other websites or users there.'

Megavideo is an illegal streaming site, showing pirate films. It is unreliable because the films are coming from different sources which are not proven to be reliable.

This website led me to many different film promotion websites, as it is not providing any information, just links to other websites then it has no reason to be unreliable.
