How to Implement?
1. Download required files from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pa66yf2myzevuzz

2. Once you have downloaded the above file, extract it and copy the "grabmoveimage" complete folder and put it in the folder "Modules" (wcddl/modules).

3. Open up "index.php" in notepad2/IDE/etc
Add this right above </head>

<script src="modules/grabmovieimage/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="modules/grabmovieimage/main.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

4. Find this code block (or similar):

<tr>

			<td><a href="download.php?id=<?php echo $row->id; ?>"><?php echo $row->showTitle(); ?></a></td>

		</tr>

and replace (modify) with:

<?php 
                        if($row->type == "movie"){
                            ?>
                        <td><a href="download.php?id=<?php echo $row->id; ?>" class="screenshot" rel="<?php echo getImage($row->showTitle()); ?>"><?php echo $row->showTitle(); ?></a></td>
			<?php
                        } 
                        else{
                            
                        ?>
			<td><a href="download.php?id=<?php echo $row->id; ?>"><?php echo $row->showTitle(); ?></a></td>
			<?php } ?>

5. Editing the style.css, open it in notepad2/etc and add this block to the end of style.css

#screenshot{
	position:absolute;
	border:1px solid #ccc;
	background:#333;
	padding:5px;
	display:none;
	color:#fff;
	}

6. Find this line in "index.php"

include "wc3.php";

Below it add:

include "modules/grabmovieimage/gim.php";

7. Save it all, upload, Trail and Error.

NOTES
CONSISTENCY is a MAJOR issue here. Because 99% of DDL sites have their movies listed as "Chronicle (2012)" with the "(date)" inside brackets, and this 'causes other images to be shown, I haven't made a fix for this "yet", but if your site just lists the movie name then you should be fine, but if it lists the year then you will have problems.

So, one of the problems was "move name (datehere)". using this below you can filter out (date) to get back movie images accurately.

1. Open "modules/grabmovieimages/gim.php" in notepad2/etc
2. Add new line like shown below.


This will now support the following (hovering over move name with the year in it, shows the poster of the movie, shown below).



And another example(hovering over "Chronicle (I) (2012)"):
