The Problem:

Despite the proliferation of streaming platforms and movie databases available today, the problem of movie selection remains daunting for many users. It can be time-consuming and often overwhelming to sift through thousands of titles, each with varying genres, ratings, and release dates, in order to select a movie that fits one's preferences. This issue becomes particularly acute when users have specific genre preferences and want to discover new titles beyond their usual selections.

The Process:

FlixSage, a Python-based program, was developed to address this problem. The program utilizes the power of The Movie Database (TMDB) API, a rich, community-based movie and TV database. The user interface of FlixSage is designed to be intuitive, asking users to select a genre from a predefined list. Once a genre is selected, FlixSage makes a request to the TMDB API, accessing its extensive collection of movie data.
The program then parses the API response, filtering out the relevant information about the movies in the selected genre. It specifically extracts information such as movie titles, genres, ratings, release dates, overviews, and even posters. The system is designed to run in a loop, providing users with an option to select multiple genres and get movie recommendations for each of their choices.

The Solution:

The FlixSage Python program has managed to streamline the movie selection process. It curates personalized movie recommendations based on user genre preferences, serving as an effective tool for film discovery. By efficiently fetching and displaying key details about the movies, such as titles, genres, ratings, release dates, overviews, and posters, FlixSage enhances user experience by providing valuable insights and saving time.
Furthermore, by running in a loop until the user chooses to exit, FlixSage gives users the freedom to explore multiple genres at their own pace. In this way, the program goes beyond traditional movie recommendation systems, giving users an interactive and personalized platform to discover and select movies, right at their fingertips.
