Since some people are having trouble figuring this program out I am going to give step by step instructions since I pretty much figured it out in half an hour.

First download it and install it.  (Note that it is very legal for me to share this file because it is free to distribute according to their website.)

Version 3.5.1.2 - Complete package with installation (recommended) Size: 3642 KB, Last update: 2009-02-01

It didn't install a desktop icon for me so I had to create it myself.  You can click Start then mouse over Programs then find it in the list under Ant Movie Catalog.  Click the icon to start the program.

This will be your screen.
(Click the picture to make it full size)
Click the button that has the box with a + on it.  Or, on your keyboard press Alt+Insert to create a new movie entry.
This window should pop up.  Click
"Do not ask again; Use automatic numbering"
Then click OK.
You will now see a number 1 with a check box.  That will be your first entry.
The original title box will have a blinking text thingy (that's the technical term too, thingy).  Just type the name of the movie.  For this example type Troy.
Click the icon at the top of the window that has a green arrow pointing to the right then click "From internet using a script." You can also press F6 instead of clicking that button.
This window pops up.  Click Language Filter as you see here.  Then click Uncheck all and then check your languages as I have here.  This way only the scripts with your language will show up.  Otherwise the list is way too long.
Now, choose your script.  I chose "All Movie Guide" because it works for most of my movies.  If it doesn't work for you then choose another.
Then click the Run button with the lightning bolt (or hit enter)
This window will pop up.  Just click OK or hit enter.
If by chance your movie files do not automatically download you will see this window.  Click the correct title that is in this list.  In this case it is the very first one on the list.  Troy (2004).  Click the title then click OK or hit enter.  You should notice it download all the movie's information.
When the information has finished downloading check to make sure it's the correct information by looking at the actor names or director or whatever it is that you need to see to know it's right.  Click Save or hit enter.
This is what it will look like when it's finished.  You have created your first entry.

Renumbering by Original Title

As time goes by and you have entered many, even hundreds of movies, it will not be alphabetical.  So what you want to do is renumber them often, perhaps after entering before you save your file.  Click Tools, click Renumber...
This window pops up.  It may say "Number" so what you do is click the little arrow then choose "Original Title".  Click ok.

Save your files.

Save your file often.  Click the red disk icon at the top of your screen to save your file.
The save window screen will come up.  You can type in a new name and even choose a new location like in "My Documents".  Click Save when finished.

Open your files.

When you open the program it will be a blank screen.  None of your entries will be there.  Just as when you open Microsoft Word or Word Perfect, nothing is there, it's blank.  So, you have to open your file by clicking File at the top left of the screen and click Open and find your file or see at the very bottom of the screenshot is the last file that was opened.  Click on that to begin using the program with all of your movies entered.

If you follow these directions you will do great.  For me it's easy because I am a nerd and I can understand this type of thing.  For some it takes awhile to get used to.  I entered all 330 of my movie entries within 1 hour of figuring out this program.  It's easy and the best thing is it's free.

Once you have set everything up by following the directions that I have typed out for you then it will be easy to work with from here on out.  Just remember these shorthand keyboard shortcuts:

Alt+Insert, type title, F6, enter, enter, wait for download, enter, repeat.
