since you mentioned "all [..] film effects" i thought you might want to get the "Digital Fact Book" as PDF from

i wish you all the best with your project! i honestly doubt that you will get anywhere close to a finish but i'd love to be proven wrong!
and don't forget: it's you who wants to make this database and not us who want to see it at this stage. so you should be impressing us with something better than this half-hearted wannabe-web-trash. have a look at
http://www.flashtro.com/ to see how proper nostalgia looks like.
ps: put me on your fuckings list if you finish the project (no offence, but that's where scene originated)
