Auto Boxset names..

[lordy]

Hi , can I have examples of movie series (prequel/sequels) where the collection title is not immediately obvious from the movie names. Non-English series too.

Can you give first movie+year in series + typical collection name.

Eg.

Dr No 1962 -> James Bond
Clerks 1994 -> Kevin Smith ?

This is mainly because I need to give the box-sets a nice name for YAMJ compatibility. So my plan at the moment is

1. See if user has manually set a box set name in boxset.db (a flat text file mapping first movie imdb id to a name eg - tt0055928=>James Bond

2. If not check if the majority of movies contain a common phrase. eg http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057413/triv...ollowed_by

3. If not (this is the bit I want to test) Google , say the first two movie titles + "Box Set" (or maybe collection etc), and then use the most frequently occurring phrase in the search results that ends with "Box Set" or "Collection" or Series etc.

PS Just noticed the Prometheus is classed as a Spin-Off to Alien - hmmm...

It would be great if the 'Extras' were incorporated properly into the set.

[darucla]

Chinatown (1974) sequel is the Two Jakes
Les quatre cent coups (400 Blows) (1959) Several sequels featuring the lead character Antoine Doinel

And re the Prometheus. I understand that it is set in the same universe as Alien, and has the same director, but is less of a sequel/prequel than the producers might have liked.

[lordy]

@MickH - this is for the overall name for a movie collection
@darcula - thanks I'll give those a spin

[MickH]

How about:

Monty Python:
The Life of Brian
The Holy Grail
The FLying Circus

Roddy Doyle:
The Van
The Snapper
The Commitments

Clint Eastwood:
Flags Of Our Fathers
Letters to Iwo Jima

[vaidyasr]

@lordy,
In my collection, Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Iron Man2 and Thor are considered as boxset. Why?.

[lordy]

Oversight is still sometimes scraping collection info from TMDB instead of movieconnections IMDB. I'll switch that off completely next release.
