#guides In this guide we will create a personal database of movies in Obsidian. You'll be able to easily save movies to your watchlist, and add ratings to movies you've watched. This guide will cover the following steps: 1. Installing Obsidian Web Clipper. 2. Adding your movie template. 3. Saving a movie to your database. 4. Creating a view to see your saved movies. ## Step 1. Install Web Clipper Install [Obsidian Web Clipper](https://obsidian.md/clipper) for your browser. It is available on all major browsers that support extensions, including Safari on iOS and Firefox Mobile on Android. ## Step 2. Add a movie template in Web Clipper Download one of my existing Web Clipper templates, depending on your preferred movie database: - [Letterboxd](https://github.com/kepano/clipper-templates/blob/main/templates/letterboxd-clipper.json) - [IMDB](https://github.com/kepano/clipper-templates/blob/main/templates/imdb-clipper.json) - [IMDB (reference view)](https://github.com/kepano/clipper-templates/blob/main/templates/imdb-reference-clipper.json) - Alternatively, [create your own template](https://help.obsidian.md/web-clipper/templates) To import a template: 1. Open the Web Clipper extension and click the **Settings** cog icon. 2. Go to any template in the list. 3. Click **Import** in the top right or drag and drop your `.json` template file(s) anywhere in the template area. ## Step 3. Save a movie Give your Web Clipper template a test run: 1. In your web browser go to a movie page (e.g. Letterboxd, IMDB, or other). 2. Click the Web Clipper extension. 3. Click **Add to Obsidian**. You should see the movie added as a note in Obsidian. ## Step 4. Add a base for movies To see all of the movies you saved in one place, [create a base](https://help.obsidian.md/bases/create-base) in Obsidian called Movies. You can download my [Movies.base](https://github.com/kepano/kepano-obsidian/blob/main/Templates/Bases/Movies.base) template. Your movies base should have a filter that looks like `contains(property.categories, "[[Movies]]")` That's it! You're done! ✨
