idea..... plugin for managing movies

Hey all i have a heap of movies/dvds in various places around the house
some on my media some on a second computer thats not on unless i need something and some on DVD the problem is i never know what movies i have and where they are.
I stuck together an excel spread sheet that has all my movies and where they are IE cd number. but unfortunately i cant access this via remote from withing MCE.

Question. how hard would it be for someone to setup say a Access Database with a web front end and embed it into MCE?
The database is the easy part, embedding it into MCE i have NFI about that or whether i am simply barking up the wrong tree.

It's already been done... the plugin is called My Movies.

But my movies requires you to download all the info from the internet. and correct me if im wrong but it doesnt have a facility for giving cds numbers and you cant just import a list of movies, i tryed that and there where to many fields in the database that needed filling

You can by typing out a list of your movies and pressing enter after each entry (in txt document) then importing through New My Movies and you can also give dvds a number (eg 1 or a1 or b4 etc)
