http://www.themoviedb.org/ http://www.themoviedb.org/ is a imdb clone but free and open/run by the community. xbmc uses it for movie lookups if you wish.

Just checked themoviedb.org - but it does not seem like it has a lot of data. How many movies does it have and is it comparable to imdb in size?

  No. I always point XBMC at IMDB. tmdb doesn't have nearly the breadth or depth of IMDB.

  Around 30k titles compared to IMDB 1.5+ mil.

  Although someone already commented and I am late to the party on this one I have yet to see xbmc using tmdb not find a movie I was watching. Sure IMDB can be considered more "complete" but tmdb certainly has popular mainstream titles.

I've recently started developing a django app for syncing with tmdb's data https://bitbucket.org/zalew/django-tmdb/wiki/Home https://bitbucket.org/zalew/django-tmdb/wiki/Home just released the first commands and everything is in early dev, but it works.

  I actually built a movie watchlist and todo list for myself using Django and tmdb. It's live, and the code's on github. http://movies.tshaddox.com/ http://movies.tshaddox.com/ https://github.com/baddox/watchlist2 https://github.com/baddox/watchlist2 edit: The code's probably not very "pluggable" or "reusable," since that wasn't a design goal :). It's hopefully readable. Feel free to recommend a film (just search for it on the right sidebar).

      I had forgotten how messy my tmdb API usage is. I'm using some guy's wrapper on pypi[1], as well as a manual fork (read: copy-paste-modify) of what I think is the same guy's github repo. [1] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/themoviedb http://pypi.python.org/pypi/themoviedb

  I'm just building a mango app to sync with IMDb. Oh well... I'll have a look at yours. I didn't know about tmdb.
