Mini Movie Catalog

I got tired of looking for a simple movie catalog program that didn't also include the ability to catalog stamps, books, music, sperm samples or whatever other nonsense i wasn't interested in, so i wrote my own. Mini Movie Catalog is a Bash shell script that reads the titles of the movies in your library as provided by their folder names which it then uses to acquire the necessary information from OMDb in order to build pure HTML + CSS web pages of your movie collection. Poster images are downloaded from Amazon. In addition to the main catalog, pages are also generated for each movie genre and actor so that you can quickly locate movies according to that criteria.

You will need an API key from OMDb to use the script (free keys are easily available). After that, configure a few options and then run the script. What information is displayed in the catalog is entirely up to you. Whenever you add, delete or edit items in your collection, the script will handle your changes automatically.

Caveats: It doesn't do a damn thing other than list your movies. There's no lending function, no play function (though the titles are linked to the video file), no nothing; just a pretty (IMHO) list of your movies.
