Monaco founded Baseline in 1982, an early online database about the entertainment industry, and a forerunner of the IMDb. It was taken over by The New York Times Company in 2006. In 2011 the Times sold the company to Project Hollywood LLC, which is majority owned by entrepreneurs Laurie Silvers and Mitchell Rubenstein, who sold it to Gracenote in 2014 for a reported $50 million.[3]
He wrote several books, including The New Wave: Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol, Rohmer, Rivette (1976), How To Read A Film (1977, 1981, 1999, 2009)[4] and American Film Now (1979). Monaco was also a contributing editor and writer to the Canadian film magazine, Take One, for many years.
He was the founder and president of UNET 2 Corporation, and he ran Harbor Electronic Publishing in New York and Sag Harbor. In 2012 he co-founded the Long Island Nature Organization, Inc., sponsors of the annual Long Island Natural History Conference.
Since 2001 In Germany a reputable student film award is named after James F. Monaco, "Der Goldene Monaco" or The Golden Monaco. [2]
Every year the student award is handed over to the winners in a large Oscar like show in front of up to 1,600 students in the Siegerlandhalle, a large venue in the city of the University of Siegen, where the award was born.
James Monaco died of vascular disease on November 25, 2019.
