What is the best scraper for movies?

What would be cool is a linux command line scraper that scrapes TV and Movie information, genrerates Aeon stark media flags and stores the .nfo's and fanart.

Combine that with a download script and everything will be handled automatically

MIP under Linux (using wine) has a command line tvshow updater that can be looped or ran once to update ..

I haven't build the movie one yet, but it's half way there.

Can somebody please point me to a OS X compatible movie/tv series scraper? Preferrably avoiding the Virtual Machine/Boot Camp overhead.

Here is a new program called MediaReader that works on Mac, Linux and Windows. I tried it out and it works pretty well. I still like media companion better but need some command line controls for these apps.

@everyone, please note that the initial question was specificlly which is the best scraper for movies, this is referring to XBMC's built-in scrapers, and not to standalone media manager software.

The best scraper for movies is the one for themoviedb.org (a.k.a. TMDb)

This is not because themoviedb.org contains more information than IMDb.com or any other site but because themoviedb.org is a free and entirely a community driven website, meaning you can register an account (for free of course) and add movies and change/modify the movie information, upload artwork and so on. So if the movie you are looking for does not contain all the information or the artwork you want then you can simply add it yourself by going to:
http://www.themoviedb.org

For the same reason TheTVDB.com (TheTVDB) is the best scrapers for TV Shows, URL="http://www.thetvdb.com"]TheTVDB.com[/url] is a also entirely a community driven website, you add or edit the information you want the site to have, then it is all picked up in XBMC when you scrape using this scraper.
http://www.thetvdb.com

Both themoviedb.org and URL="http://www.thetvdb.com"]TheTVDB.com[/url] also have their own forums where you can submit feature/function suggestions, make change requests, and generally give feedback on what you like these sites to contain and be. Just like how any open source project works, so same as for XBMC Media Center.
