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.

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.
