Movie times RSS feed, anyone?

Sat, 2005-05-14 16:50 — sam

Hello LDers:

Has anybody found an rss feed for movie times? I am thinking of something like the Weather channel, where a location can be pre-set but also give the user an option to input a zip code and have movie times for that zip code.

I did google extensively but cannot find anything. We are on Luminis III.1 upgrading to III.2 in 3 weeks.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

We have a little channel that links to zap2it.com

See - http://www.zap2it.com/index/linkus/

They have movie and TV listings for many areas.

Bump!

Anyone found something like this? I've looked at my local paper, my local theatres' sites, nothing. Yahoo has it...why can't I?!

This should be what you are looking for

I have found a few places where you can get an .rss feed from but by far the best was from Rotten Tomatoes, they have a ton of choices and layouts. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/pages/syndication_rss. <-- Check it out

Your own Script

Here is a great little script you can run local...

Found it in Digg: http://www.digg.com/movies/RSS_Feed_of_movie_theaters_and_movies_by_zip_code,_with_source.

I've finally given in and made a parser

I've had this on my list for a long time and just got sick of seeing it there today. It's rough, dirty, and works. It's in perl with the XML::RSS, LWP, and HTML::TreeBuilder modules to pull the listings from IMDB and present them as an RSS 1.0 feed.

The thought behind it is to generate one feed per theater, and then have the multiple theaters (3 for our area) in a combined RSS channel (along the lines of the UVIC or jasig channels). Then the users could expand out whatever theater they want.

It pulls title, times, mpaa rating, runtime, and user rating and each movie has a link back to the appropriate IMDB page. (Need to give them their due since we are using their data.)

If you are interested in the code, let me know and I'll share it.

That would be great!

Dallas,
That would be great if you shared that code. I have been looking for something like that as well. Thanks.

Sure. I'll post it tomorrow.

I should do a little cleaning up of it before it's out in the wild. It'll probably still be ugly since the focus was "works" no "works and is pretty".

Movies.com Listing

Here is a RSS Feed address for Movies.com. I like this RSS feed because it adds Images to the feed.
