Which is the most reliable place to find email lists to use in email marketing?

Before I have been looking for emails in torrent sites but I doubt their reliability. They are not even well organized and I never know where they came from. I need emails I know who they belong to like country, interests, age, male or female etc. Which is the most reliable place to get email lists?
