I've visited the movies wishlist module. It just really doesn't seem very practical to me.

My wants are the ability to add movies to a list (probably a thin CCK type, supported by several taxonomy terms). I want it to be supported by the amazon API though. I don't want to have to pull up IMDB and copy the year, director, images...etc.

I am new and I have to study up on module creation but everything to this point was pretty simple for me. My question to all of you is, does this not exist somewhere? Does anyone else find this to be a useful module besides me?

Any pointers for a particular approach are greatly appreciated

I digress, I've been meaning to get back to dev on this module and add an API for IMDB/Amazon/etc. as well as clean up the interface somewhat.. I really haven't had time to sit down and focus on this, but if you would like to help out, I'm sure that the module can grow into something more useful to the masses.

It was really written as a port of an old movies database I had on my old standalone site...

Let me know if you are interested in helping out, unless it _really_ is just not what you are looking for.

here is a link to to an open source IMDM php script. It has been ported to Wordpress. I tried to port it myself, but my PHP skills are pretty basic and I gave up. Maybe someone with better PHP skills can port it to Drupal.

I've also visited the 'movies' module and, without invalidating what's been done already, I find it restrictive without nodes. E.g i'd like to add ratings, comments and possibly images to the listings.
