Seems a pretty good idea for films, especially if you don't index
things like rating or genre. (We're about to do a large DVD
acquisition spree - I might well recommend we catalogue in IMDB links,
now you mention it!)
IMDB is a well-established site, and is certainly the best out there
for its subject. It's fairly comprehensive; I don't think you need to
worry about the content you'll be linking out to.
