This repository will process locally downloaded IMDB files into a short-term in-memory database suitable for querying and navigating IMDB.
This software was built because our family movie night requires that we choose our next film based on the following two rules:
- The next film must feature an actor featured in our most recent film
- The actor linking the two films must not be the actor linking our two most recent films
We had planned on using this to get between any two films, but ended up using it for just mucking about and picking our next film. It does warn us of dangerous neighborhoods (films with only poor quality related films), which is helpful.
You probably don't want this, really.
- CLI based
- Find Movies Related To Each-Other
- Calculate Actor Rating Value Over Replacement
- API?
- Six Degrees Search - Navigate between two movies using only linkage rules
- Add Box Office Value Ratings (will need IMDB Pro data for this)
$ go get
$ go generate # tinylib's msgp generates custom marshalling functions
$ go build
$ ./download.sh # This downloads gigabytes of IMDB data
$ ./imdb # First incantation will create the graph database
$ ./imdb # Future Incantations will load the database ready for queryingThe Command Line is search oriented. It uses tab completion to help you find a movie or an actor.
It responds to names of films, actors, and also IMDB unique ids (ttxxxx and nmxxxx).

>It's interesting to ask how much an actor typically lifts or lowers a rating on IMDB. To answer this question, every actor's average rating of "Broadly Rated" (>1000 ratings) films on IMDB is taken, and stored. This is their "Rating".
Then, for each film the actor appears in, the average rating of the all other actors in the film is taken, and the actual rating is compared. In this way, the actor either brings up or down the 'expected' rating of the film.
You could do this for writers, directors, everyone involved in a film's production, but we don't do that here, just actors.
To query the value system by range use v: [start index] [stop index].
This query is fundamentally subjective as to what cutoffs to make: we choose to require an actor appear in five Broadly Rated films to assess VOR. We ignore television, and anyone that does not have "actor" or "actress" as their first listed occupation in IMDB.
The top few actors as of this writing show some interesting stories: Julie Dreyfus has only appeared in a few Tarantino films, and they are well rated on IMDB. We calculate her acting could lift your film's IMDB rating by 0.914 points; this could be significant! Because we don't add a director's average to the replacement calculations, Tarantino's films will tend to boost actors who only work with him.
Long running "career" actors will tend to have lower VOR, as a function of being in so many movies.
John Cazale is a great result, and shows that this system has some merit. He is best known for playing Fredo in The Godfather series, and is widely considered to have only taken excellent roles in excellent films.
Edward Binns shows another quirk of our rules - his "famous films" include North by Northwest, 12 Angry Men, and others. His less famous films (and therefore rated less than 1000 times) include relative stinkers like "Oliver's Story" (rated 4.4). It doesn't have enough votes to bring down his VOR.
Likewise, Abe Vigoda luckily avoids the penalty that comes from appearing in "Vasectomy: A Delicate Matter" (3.8). It's so bad, only a few people have seen it.
Two angles to go at for next round here; first would be to have different vote cutoffs for different decades; fewer people have seen films from the 50s than recent blockbusters. Alternately we could use some statistics; put another way, given 72 votes and a 3.8 rating, what is the probability that we have an indicative rating? Pretty high, I think.
