Content-based similar movie recommendation engine.

We try to implement and improve the paper by Fleischman et. al.^[1]

In order to create the necessary data file, download and unzip the sample list files from the IMDB:
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/misc/movies/database/.
The necessary files are:

genres.list
language.list
movies.list
plot.list
actors.list
actresses.list

Simply run through the Data_Prepare notebook to create the data file. Other notebooks will use the generated data file.
