There are a lot of movies out there to watch. When your mate suggests you a movie saying it is the best they have ever seen, you know it might go either way. Instead of scrolling through endless recommendation of movies and hoping that you find something interesting, you should directly be able to watch the movie depending on your preferences. This is where Recommendo comes in.

Recommendo allows you to keep track of your watchlist, recommend new and popular movies from all across the world. Heck, if you want to try something different, it will help you choose that too.

The application will store User Information, Movies and People collections.

• User Information contains relevant information about the user.
• Movies contain information about the movie.
• Actor contains information about the Actor.

An Example User:

{
  username: "Andy Dufresne",
  password: // a password hash,
  email: // list of favorite movies.
  genres: // list of favorite genres.
  recentlyWatched: // list of recently watched movies. { references Movie document}
  favorites: // list of favorite movie { references Movie document}
  people: //favorite actor or director for the User.
}

An Example movies document

{
  movieId: //Unique identifier for the movie
  title: "Shawshank Redemption",
  release_date: // year of release
  overview: //description of the movie
  vote_average: //rating for the movie.
  genres: // genre associated with the movie
  posterPath: //poster for the image.
}

An Example Actors document

{
    peopleId: //Unique identifier for the actor.
    name: "Morgan Freeman" ,//name of the actor.
    movies: //list of movies that the actor has featured in.
    image: //image associated with the person
}
