Thanks, Rich See if this helps: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces I can't find anything that maps from, say, "The Wrestler" to "tt1125849", but you can get their unambiguous title list with, e.g.: The Wrestler (1925) 1925 The Wrestler (1974) 1974 The Wrestler (2008) 2008 And then it's a hop, skip, and a jump to: http://www.imdb.com/Title?The%20Wrestler%20%282008%29 With slighly bigger hops, skips, and jumps, you could harvest the URL that this redirects to, and get your tt number that way: Status: 302 Location: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1125849/ -- Thomas Dowling [log in to unmask]
