Coollector Movie Database

For the longest time, people have had to rely on displaying their movie collection on bookshelves and browsing websites such as IMDB.com if they required more information about any given movie or TV show, without the ease of access, customizability and personality that an indexable digital database provides. However, the wait for such a software has come to an end thanks to Coollector Movie Database.

The app has one core feature in mind — getting the required information quickly and painlessly. As such, the user is met with a comprehensive dual-pane design right from the get-go. Through the use of a top tab separating the categories of movies and TV shows, from items available on Netflix, movie data extracted from IMDB.com and movies rated by the user to items available in physical, digital “playable” or “loaned” formats can be browsed in the app.

The two tabs work hand in hand, with the left one being used for searching and displaying results while the right one lays out in detail everything there is to know about the movie. Users are also presented with the option to find information on various actors and directors via the app’s “Person Name Search” function. Movies can be added or queried through their barcodes.

Using the top left corner menu aptly titled “Tools”, the program allows for adding the Netflix and Hulu catalog of movies, along with indexing both physical and digital copies of items available online. When searching for movie data, users have at their disposal various filters to easily find the right item, such as the genre, the year it was released and whether or not the movie in question is available on Netflix or Hulu.

Movie pages feature cover artwork, runtime, rating, release date and location, plot description, trailers available on YouTube, IMDB ratings and a list of actors coupled with their respective pictures. In terms of customizability, actors’ pictures’ sizes can be changed, the dual-pane navigation can be switched to a single pane one and the application’s background can be changed with the help of community-made skins.

Coollector Movie Database is a useful piece of software that is worth checking out by any cinephile in need for a neat and free digital movie index.
