I deal with a lot of classic movies on a website I help moderate. I currently use a GreaseMonkey script to generate a basic BBCode NFO. [https://gist.github.com/cletusc/8d26902f46fe6b3ed850] This no longer works as intended since IMDB changed the layout of the pages. It still works well enough but I have been for a long time looking for something stand alone.
So the idea is to use OMDB.com API to gather the information and the parse the information into a given template. Be nice if each had a spot to make a template as you wanted. Here is an example of the OMDB api data return.
{"Title":"Soul Eater","Year":"2008–2009","Rated":"TV-14","Released":"07 Apr 2008","Runtime":"24 min","Genre":"Animation, Action, Adventure","Director":"N/A","Writer":"N/A","Actors":"Laura Bailey, Chiaki Omigawa, Micah Solusod, Brittney Karbowski","Plot":"Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 duo's. These pairs are a partnership between a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to reach a ranking of \"Death Scythe\" (and thus fit for use by the Shinigami) they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch. However, forces outside of the Academy make it more challenging of a feat.","Language":"Japanese","Country":"Japan","Awards":"N/A","Poster":"

Example of a possible template.

Genre(s): %Genre%

I admit I would rather have IMDB for all the cast/director links but figure OMDB might be easier to work with.
