The texts were taken from the OpenSubtitles collection. In cases where there were multiple subtitles files for a given movie (which was the norm), we used the "highest ranked" file, in terms of accuracy (from the ratings at OpenSubtitles). We then matched up each movie with the corresponding page from IMDB, which provides rich metadata for each movie (and which can be used to create your own Virtual Corpus).
