This is a very much work-in-progress on a hobby project I've been working on. Basically, I tried scraping the TMDb historic movie database, and add location and time-period tags using an LLM (gemma3:27b) to each one. The entire database is about 17k titles, but I only analyzed about 3200 of the most popular ones (with >= 10 votes).

The idea is to make an interactive website, where you can select years and see on the map what historic movies are based on that specific region and time period.

Below is a little teaser which shows the breakdown by identified time periods when the movies were set.

Any thoughts, ideas are more than welcome!

PS. Once the project is semi-ready -- I will publish both the source code and the database for everyone to use (will need to also see whether TMDb terms of use allow that).
