Show HN: My first django website: full-length youtube movies

Great idea!
Just a few things: The time is displayed in seconds, that should be changed.
It would be great if the actual movie information was displayed. Others have mentioned IMDB, buy you can also have a look at themoviedb[0] and Rotten Tomatoes [1].
Do you have plans to expand this to other video sharing sites?

Thanks for your comment. For now no. Yes I will change that in next iteration.
Whoa, it's pretty neat! I may have a suggestion to improve it: as gingersnap suggests, would it be possible to get a quick description of the movie from imdb and add a description of the movie. From gingersnap, there seems to be an API to get data from IMDB, but I was thinking of crawling the website using Mechanize to use the search. I'd be happy to help!
Thanks for suggestion. I am thinking about it.
Very nice.
I'm curious as to how you're searching YouTube, if you are. Is there a method to specify a long time besides the 'long' param or are you mainly scraping the links from twitter/reddit.
Really neat work. On the lol side, you just make the life's of the copyright claimer easier. Don't let that stop you though.

Great work, have actually been missing a service like this.
One suggestion, why don't you match it to IMDB and get automatic categories and rating. This would help when trying to find movies to watch, and would cut out the problem with all movies in uncategorized.
But how to do that automatic? I don't think that it is possible
There are some different APIs, both official and unofficial, most of them described here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1966503/does-imdb-provide...
In my opinion, if you would make the match work most of the time, so you get a category and rating that would improve the service. You can still have the users report when the movies don't match.
Hm.. ok, thanks for link. I will check this
I have created: http://keepermovies.com/ Website which searches throught twitter, reddit and youtube to find full-length youtube movies. New movies are being added every hour. This is my first python/django website. Please give me your feedback :)
Best, Wiktor
