If you had every movie in IMDB, that would be less than
70,000. Even with that number you could easily keep the
data in a flat file, and while running keep all data in memory
sorted and/or hashed by title, number, and genre. I do a
similar thing with a few hundred thousand download records,
and the performance is quite good.
