Description
As requested before, your great database could be used for more than just movies. It is already quite modular and only minor adjustments might be needed to provide the functionality for custom field sets. I would like to use it to file my books, my games and my CDs.

Being one of those who has requested such a feature, I can only join in Adrian-Berlin's new feature request. This is a module that could do lots of great things for the entire Drupal community!
At this very moment I'm in the progress of creating a new site that is supposed to collect and provide information about activities available for parents at home with small children. What a "custom database" module as suggested in this thread could do for me, would be to provide my visitors the possibility to browse via certain weekdays, times of day, types of activity, areas and so on to find the activity best suited for their needs...

I'm sorry for not answering earlier, i am currently very busy and will stay so for a week or two.
The module can evolve into a more generalized media database module. I think it should. The way i see it, it would have a common people database and different media dbs (movies, books, music..) with some kind of api to easily create new media types and add them..
But this should stay very focused... for a broader database for a specific content type, check the CCK modules, used with Views, you can produce very advanced custom databases.
