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.

The TV listings for most stations are online these days. You just
have to recall where and when you saw it. By the way, another use for
your idea is recommendations. If you liked this you'll like this too,
etc.
