Xregal is the X11 interface to the Internet Movie Database when it is installed locally on a Unix system. Why xregal? The name is in appreciation of the Regal Cinema in Birmingham Gardens, near where I live. The Regal is the only independent (i.e. not owned by a national/multi-national company) suburban cinema in Newcastle, Australia that survived the video age and continues to operate. I lived next door to it for a couple of years and have seen many fine movies there.

Final Release
