For music there is the Gracenote CDDB SDK, etc. but does an online service exist for getting information about movies?

The only solution i can see at the minute is querying IMDB and scraping the page.

The problem i have is that i have a list of film titles and i want to retrieve stuff like the plot, director, cast, when released, get dvd cover art, etc..

TMDB has an API, I havn't tried it.

As far as i know IMDB offers a downloadable copy of the database (with some restrictions).

See http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?usedatasoftware for details
