Is it legal to include quotes from movies on your website?

    I have a blog or a website that includes movie reviews and information about all kinds of movies. I was thinking to add a movie quotes section to some movies that will have from five to ten memorable quotes. But wouldn't this constitute a copyright infringement in this case?

    And what about including movie posters or general information about movies such as Names, Genres (Action, Thriller, Comedy, etc.), Names of Cast and Crew, Budgets, Dates? Could any of those constitute a copyright infringement somehow?

    Other than the posters, you can definitely use everything else including quotes. I am not sure about posters, but many sites do use them.

    See this article on "Fair Use":
