Regex to include up to blank line.

Hi guys I am trying to figure out how to match a pattern with a regex up to a full blank line. I will show you what I mean with this example:

Code:
example A
movie name: ted
movie name: TMNT
movie name: Jinxed

example B
movie names:
Gravity
Faster
Turbo

song titles:
dont
hello
problem

So above example A seems ok to do, just match "name:". But example B the names are on the next line so I was thinking if I was able to match "names{0,1}:" up to a full blank line so it would go up as far as this:
Code:
movie names:
Gravity
Faster
Turbo

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ regex should end here (blank line)
song titles:

Any ideas guys?
