Is there really no way to search for movies

… that you want to rent or watch streaming?

Right now I either have to go to the website or app for Hulu, Netflix, Cinemanow, Crackle, Vudu, and every other streaming service out there and search manually.

Has no one parsed their urls/been able to access their database and present it? Do the streaming services prevent that somehow?

For consumer convenience, this needs to exist now. Darn if I can find it.

For Netflix, at least, there’s InstantWatcher.

People in the “Help me cut cable” thread had a couple of useful links:

http://www.tvandmoviesnow.com/

has netflix and Amazon.

http://www.clicker.com has netflix, Amazon, and all the other services, as far as I can tell. I haven’t dug really deep into it yet.
