I am attempting to clean up my scraped files. Currently I have many files I think I do not need. So I am wondering what is the minimum files needed for XBMC to recognize the movies? Currently I am thinking of scraping these files:
<movie>.tbn
Poster.tbn
folder.jpg
<movie>-fanart.jpg
<movie>.nfo
Are these files good for XBMC? Are these All that I should need?

You don't need <movie>.tbn, Poster.tbn, folder.jpg they all do the same thing all you need is
<movie>.tbn
<movie>-fanart.jpg
<movie>.nfo
If each movie is in its own folder you don't need the file name you can just name them
movie.tbn
fanart.jpg
movie.nfo
