CineCLI

CineCLI is a command-line utility designed to help movie lovers quickly browse, search, and access film information from the terminal without needing a graphical interface. It connects to popular online movie databases to fetch metadata such as titles, release dates, ratings, genres, casts, posters, and plot summaries, presenting all of that in a concise, text-friendly format suitable for terminals or scripts. Users can search by keyword, year, or exact title and then drill into detailed views for individual films, making it useful for creating watchlists, learning more about films before watching, or integrating movie lookup into shell workflows. CineCLI also supports paginated results and filters so users can navigate large search outputs without overwhelming their screens. Because it runs entirely from the command line, it’s ideal for developers, movie enthusiasts in headless environments, or anyone who prefers text-based tools over web browsers.
