It's called IMDb I know it's an external site but what you're asking basically implies to rebuild IMDb from scratch. It's just not possible. And, believe it or not, the cast information from IMDb is copyrighted and has a paying license for external usage. Even using the IMDb number associated with each movie to build your own database is forbidden. Julien

Unless they paid something to IMDb, they're just outside the legal radar but it's not permitted under IMDb rules. http://www.moviegoods.com/ initially indexed their inventory based on IMDb internal number, but after a legal claim from IMDb lawyers, they had to scrap it and build their own index.

Robots and Screen Scraping: You may not use data mining, robots, screen scraping, or similar data gathering and extraction tools on this site, except with our express written consent as noted below. The best I could do would be to parse a live IMDb page and extract the IMDb numbers, then (without caching it, just dynamically) chain them to an existing URL function that allows for multiple IMDb numbers using +. Ex, X-Men and X-Men 2: http://www.lddb.com/search/IMDb/0120903+0290334Julien

And this is exactly what I did, see IMDb search based on actor, director, musician, etc.No data is retained from IMDb, only read from the public page to link IMDb numbers that are not my main catalog index.
