I am not a programmer, I tinker. I am also not responsible for content that this program is used against. This program will only pull information from IMDB to your local system based on whatever folder name you pass it.
With that out of the way, I have written an automatic movie information scraper post-processing script/program for sabnzbd. This program will take the full path/folder name of the movie you want scraped, search for it on IMDB, pull up the first link then scrape the information into local files that can be used with whichever media center software you use (but it's really only been tested against XBMC). Once the information has been scraped, it can also send an update command to your XBMC library so that your new addition can be added right away.
It does not currently scrape fanart. If you want fanart, you'll have to pull it in manually for now...I am looking at how I can grab fanart that work for the majority of users.
An added bonus feature is that if you get a movie in CD1/CD2 format, the program can optionally use mencoder to join the two files together into a single file.
Due to how SAB does it's file cleanup, you will need to ensure that SAB is leaving .nfo files alone. I have coded in an option to also keep the scene .nfo files if you wish, but by default it will remove them.
It runs based on the folder name given to it, either by SAB or by you from a command line (in case your folder isn't named properly and you need to modify it before it will scrape info).
command line usage is:
sabnzbmoviescraper "<full path to movie folder>"
eg: sabnzbmoviescraper "d:\movies\Batman (1989)"
It will do a search in IMDB for "Batman+(1989)" and hit the first returned result. From here it will scrape all the info it can.
If you find it is not scraping the information, do a search yourself at IMDB for the folder name and hit the search button (do not use the quick results that pop up) and see if it actually returns the correct movie as the first result.
blah blah blah, developed in my own time, for my own usage, but found many requests for such a program, so I'm sharing it. Blah blah blah, take no responsibility for it's usage or content scraped...
I may at times update this with various functions (I would like to have a -r switch to point the program to the root of the movie folder collection and it'll recursively scrape the info as needed...) but those are a story for another day, when I have more time.

Edit the included cfg file and put the two in your SAB scripts folder then set SAB to run it.
*change log*
- Fixed a potential infinite wait loop if the browser object doesn't open the IMDB page
- Thanks to Eejit, it now looks for a scene NFO and tries to pull the IMDB link from there before searching
