I threw together a quick python script which scrapes listings from cinemas local to me, along with each movie's IMDB score, and compiles the results into a weekly Friday-morning email which I send to myself and my SO.

It's nice to know what movies are out, and when we can book, without having to remember to check or wait for pushy emails from the cinemas themselves.

I'm planning on doing the same to email us the latest menus from our favourite restaurants/cocktail bars so we can see when they change.



Would love to see this turned into a website that does recommendations based on zip code.


I've done various versions of this myself, would you mind sharing your code?
