So what we need is a mailbot which takes a list of Wikipedia articles and the corresponding IMDB titles, apparently of the syntax "Title (year)" and generates and sends the respective mails. Preferably it would keep track of its submissions (could be done easily in Perl using a tie'd hash) so we can update the list. For extra points, it could try to auto-guess the title in the IMDB, say, by filtering out "(movie)" from the Wikipedia title and looking for the first [1-2][0,8,9][0-9][0-9] match in the article.
Not forgetting that leading definite articles go at the end of the title,. so our "The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Return_of_the_King_(movie)" becomes "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The (2003)".
Not to mention that titles are in their original language, so our [[Run Lola Run]] becomes "Lola rennt (1998)", and our [[Life Is Beautiful]] becomes "Vita รจ bella, La (1997)".
Quite obviously, this cannot be automated.
