The api can lookup movies with the imdb id.
/api/movie/lookup?term=imdbId:tt1659216&apikey=

it can't however lookup with tmdbId
api/movie/lookup?term=tmdbId:164331&apikey=

The problem here is that when you search for a movie in the API you get the tmdbid back, NOT the imdb id.
It would be a lot easier if we got the imdb id back on a lookup, or if you could search with the tmdb id.

I'm not sure if this is a feature request or a bug in your eyes. But i think it needs to be fixed at some point :)
