I am not sure kraqh3d refers to this one, but I HIGHLY recommend the excellent Media Companion program to create all nfo files (per movie or tv show), get all the thumbnails and all the fanart images available.
It lets you verify each movie and update the field you don't like or are incorrect...

I have done it for all my movies and it runs about 10 movies per minute.

This way you can control what the scrapper will use of not if an nfo file is already present.

XBMC could get the same info in database but it is still a highly manual process (thumb/fanart) and correcting it is practically impossible. This is why I went for the PC version...

Good luck.
