Griffith

Griffith is a film collection manager application. Adding items to the movie collection is as quick and easy as typing the film title and selecting a supported source. Griffith will then try to fetch all the related information from the Websites related to movies, like IMDB.

Griffith is known to run on GNU Linux and Microsoft Windows systems. Probably, it will run on other POSIX compatible operating systems where a GTK+ environment is available, including FreeBSD, MacOS X, OpenBSD and Solaris.
