Written work is automatically protected by copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium. That means as soon as it's written down on paper, typed into a computer, or uploaded to a message board.

Only the rightsholder of a movie has the right to distribute it, so unless the site is licensed by the rightsholder, it's not legal.

Many rightsholders keep a tight grip on trailers and clips as well, so YouTube fanvids are often taken down after the studios complain.

Copyright protects digital works like websites the same as physical works like books. As soon as a work of sufficient originality is fixed, it is automatically protected for the life of the author plus 70 years.

Copyright limits what I can put on my website, but also protects what I post. To use others' protected materials, I need their permission or an exemption in the law; the resulting site, including my own original work, is automatically protected by copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium.
