Is there a post or site that lists all fanart and backdrops? I would like to see a place where everyone can post new and previously released ones. Any ideas?

I'm not entirely happy with how it turned out mainly because my design required IFRAMES, but it should be functional. I'll most likely rework it once there's a decent amount of images in there. If you run across any bugs, let me know. I'll get a forum set up for it on my site but until then just send me a PM if you find a way of breaking it.
The API is pretty simple. It's all based off IMDB's movie ids, so you just use that to form a link: http://moviebackdrops.com/backdrops/tt0443701/. That will just be a list of the fan art for the movie, tab-delimited to include the thumb.

(well use mediafire not rapidshare).. As the site, while great, means you have to know what your looking for rather than it presenting whats there...

Second, I am assuming that the size/resolution limits are due to bandwidth issues. While I totally understand that it would be nice to be able to have 1920x1080 images as well.
