# Moive Decider using Python 🎥🐍

This project will be focused on creating a program that helps users decide on a movie to watch by providing recommendations based on the top 50 most popular movies for a year that the user inputs. The program will utilize Python and BeautifulSoup to implement algorithms for movie selection and user interaction, ultimately offering a convenient tool for movie enthusiasts to make informed decisions on what to watch.

## Road Map 🗺️

This section is to plan out the sub-functions needed to make the whole program work

### Starter Steps 

1. ~~**Create the enviroment**~~

   - ~~Install BeautifulSoup and set it up~~

   - ~~Install a HTML Parser~~

2. ~~**Get Local URL and use BeautifulSoup with basic tasks**~~

   - ~~Host a Local HTML file~~

   - ~~Search for the data in the HTML file~~

3. ~~**Scrape Movie Data**~~

   - ~~Extract movie information (i.e. titles, ratings, and release years) from the URL.~~

   - ~~Store the scraped data~~

4. ~~**Implement User Input Functionality**~~

   - ~~Develop a function to allow user input for a specific year~~

   - ~~Validate user input to ensure it corresponds to a valid year within the specified range~~

5. ~~**Debug**~~

6. ~~**Display Movie Recommendations:**~~

   - ~~List the top 50 movie recommendations to the user~~

   - ~~Develop a function that allows the user to select the movie and provide the link to that IMDb page~~

7. ~~**Add comments**~~

8. **Improve Code**

   - Increase readability

   - Optimize performance
