another idea is to have the program collect the name of potential matches as before (with say 50% matches) then have it display these to a human and have them make the final decision.

Maybe *100 too so OP knows you're talking about percents.

Do you just want a reference to the file names of the duplicates/uniques, or do you want a script that can move all unique movies into a single folder?

How do you intend to handle the case where two distinct movies share some of the same words, or trilogies, etc.

I could write something that suits your needs for some Fg

Probably just record them and make the decision my self. I'll be able to do it myself just bouncing ideas. Seems like powershell is the best once I get there. Still have to rename 2000 or so movies before I need to detect duplicates.
