Does anyone know of a movie database that is downloadable. I know IMDb had one but it is far too huge and the data is spread across multiple files that need to be parsed.

I was hoping that someone might know of say xls or CSV file that might have like 20k+ titles with info in order to upload the data to use quickly to populate a site with.

I have a form made that you type the name of the movie and it or populates the fields with the IMDb info. This is good for adding new movie info one at a time. But I would like to add a ton of titles at once.
 
Hello,

I don't want to be negative but, you're really asking for something too specific. Dataset with the size you want are pretty much non-existent since there would be no point to their existence. Maybe for a school assignment...

Anyway. Your best option, in my opinion, would be to use some database website API to get a file the size you want or to make a bot with a movie list to automate the last process you talk about.

If I see other solutions, I'll make another post.
