Neat! Where did you get the data?



IMDb has a data dump: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces

It's kinda a mess to parse through it and get the data in though.


That data dump is a mess! I used it for my soundtrack project: http://thesoundtrackdb.com


Cool project! By the way, small correction: It should be courtesy, not couretsy.


Definitely. I only parsed through the names, ratings, and years. Going back to parse more stuff such as the number of votes, genre, etc. is going to be the most painful part of this project.


Whoa, I never knew imdb put their file as a dump. I've always tried to go through freebase
