Browse, search, and add movies to a watch list. Features 34k+ movie titles from 1901 through 2017.
This was a take home project for a job interview. I was not asked to make this application, specifically, but this was my interpretation of the assignment. Granted, I also took some creative liberties to satisfy my personal interests. I wanted to exercise my abilities to create a clean UI, so I challenged myself to create something inspired by Spotify. This application serves no greater purpose beyond the interview and practice.
As stated above, this application's purpose was essentially to look cool and give me some practice. It does not serve a greater purpose. As for its functionality, it allows users to search for movie information in a database and manage a watchlist for said information. When you visit the home page, a random selection of movie posters are displayed and the user can either click to read more about the movie or use the search bar at the top of the page to search for other movies. After clicking on a poster of a particular interest, the associated movie can be added to a watchlist.

- Browse 30k+ movies.
