The movie recommender program was created in the terminal by focusing on using class and different data structures in Python.
The data structure for the movie database consisted of nodes containing a dictionary with key-value pairs for movie information like name, genre, rating, actors, and synopsis.
Data was sourced from RottenTomatoes, compiled into a CSV file, and initialized into Movie class objects in the program.
The user interface allowed users to add filters to their search preferences, saved in a dictionary and used in a simple linear search algorithm to display recommended movies based on criteria like rating, actors, and genres.
