[dba-Tech] Interface to IMDB

I built a simple DVD library database so I could log in my collection of DVD
movies. The database contains only one table, with columns such as ID,
Title, Genre, Director, Synopsis and Review. The way I've been entering the
data is by opening IMDB in one window and my db in another, looking up the
title in IMDB and typing in the relevant data into my db. There's got to be
a better way.

I'm not tied to preserving my little app. Is there either a free tool that
interfaces with IMDB so I can enter a title and it looks up the IMDB info
and copies it; or some sort of API etc. that I could hook to my own little
db and achieve the same?

TIA,
Arthur
