Movie Night — setup

Three steps: settings, import the films, fetch the posters. You only do this once.

1 · Settings

2 · Import the Top 250

Re-running this refreshes titles and ranks. It matches on IMDb ID, so your votes and comments survive.

3 · Fetch posters

Looks each film up on TMDb by its IMDb ID (exact match, no guessing) and caches the artwork on your own server. Runs in batches so it never trips a PHP timeout. Roughly 30–60 seconds for all 250.
