Arrow Fanart & Backdrops websites?

Is there a post or site that lists all fanart and backdrops? I would like to see a place where everyone can post new and previously released ones. Any ideas?

thetvdb.com has some for TV Shows.
A while back someone mentioned the possibility of having movie fanart there but haven't heard anything since.

I'm halfway through creating a movie fanart site. It should be up within a day. Another user was creating a site for backdrops in other sections. My new site aims to allow easy scraping for movie fanart.

Has anyone mentioned a "FanArt Section" to Martomo and the guys who run XBMC BlackMarket? Seems to me, FanArt would fit in over there , I mean......It's the one stop place for great XBMC stuff. I've been extreamly lax on time for the past couple months....just now finding a lil freedom, but will be making more themes to put there.

Have at trying to break it:
http://moviebackdrops.com/

I'm not entirely happy with how it turned out mainly because my design required IFRAMES, but it should be functional. I'll most likely rework it once there's a decent amount of images in there. If you run across any bugs, let me know. I'll get a forum set up for it on my site but until then just send me a PM if you find a way of breaking it.

The API is pretty simple. It's all based off IMDB's movie ids, so you just use that to form a link: http://moviebackdrops.com/backdrops/tt0443701/. That will just be a list of the fan art for the movie, tab-delimited to include the thumb.

:O

170+ images to upload now. Any chance you could gimme a bar that lets me search by movie title? Otherwise, I've got quite a bit of work to upload them all...

Otherwise, if you've got time, here's the link to the ones I've got so far:

feel free to upload any movies fanart from Meedio fanart thread.
- They are already named as IMDBID.jpg so they should fit nicely...

there are total of 659 images (1920x1080)
