I can usually get this from looking up the movie on imdb.com. Not
that what you describe isn't interesting (Al Pacino and Robert DeNrio,
Adam Sandler and Paulie Shore, etc.) but it's not the best way to
achieve this goal.
the problem is you need specific keywords to find stuff on IMDB. That
is not really the way I think about movies. I think about them in
terms of similarities to other movies.
I often see a great movie on TV then try to find it on their data
base. Sometimes a combo of character names and actor names will help
home in on it. I don't know why movies always leave out the title in
the credits. It is as though they still think most movies are seen in
theatres.
You can't search it by tone, theme. One idea I had was to cheat and
screenscrape great hunks of IMBD using its database or the google
caches to avoid frightening them. Then do a proof of concept, and
showit to them, and see if you could sell them on the idea, using
their actual databases legitimately.
