Movie Information Downloader

While some people collect coins, stamps, toys or souvenirs, others prefer to put together collections of movies that they watched and enjoyed.  

Movie Information Downloader is a utility that allows you to find and retrieve all information available on different movie titles on IMDb.

The interface is not very impressive and is composed of 2 sections, one where you perform the actual search and one where you can preview the information about the movie you select. You can type in the title in the dedicated search field and the application downloads all data associated with your query on IMDb.

You can select any of the movies and access the retrieve information function to preview the URL, ID, posters, year, release dates, languages, director, cast, producers, so on and so forth.

In case some data is missing, the app prompts you to add it. This function can be slightly irritating to the average user or those who are just starting to collect movies. On the other hand, you can edit all info provided, a feature that can be useful for the film connoisseurs.

While it does an excellent job at info retrieval, the application lacks the options that allow you to organize the saved data. If you want to make a list with details about the movies in your collection, you can create standard folders on your computer.

The utility could also use a cache system that enables you to access files you have recently closed, a feature that can come in handy when searching multiple titles in a short period.

The application allows you save the details on the local drives as XML, TXT or JSON file format. You can select the style of the title, so it is easier to find on your disk.

Even though it does not allow you organize the data in any way, Movie Information Downloader can be handy when you want to gather all sorts of information about new blockbusters and older movies.
