It's been years since IMDB had any information I wanted that wasn't easier to get from Wikipedia. I use the uBlacklist extension to block IMDB from my search results. iorate.github.io/ublacklist/do…
@jwz I like themoviedb.org. They seem to be the closest that tv and movies have to a musicbrainz (though I will keep hollering that metabrainz needs a "screenbrainz" for movies tv and games.
@jwz Many, many years ago you could download the Internet Movie Database to your local #Amiga from Aminet. They would post regular diffs to keep you up to date.
(IIRC this was culled from rec.movies or whatever, but it’s been a while.)
I never had a big enough HDD to make it feasible (nor a fast enough connection), but so long as you don’t need any movie newer than ~2003, you can still download everything: aminet.net/misc/imdb
