MovieRoom Website

MovieRoom is a web application that allows users to search for movies, watch trailers, and add their favorite movies to a watchlist. Users can also remove movies from their watchlist. The application is built using Angular, Node.js with Express.js, and MongoDB for the backend. The project management is done using Trello, and the source code is hosted on GitHub.

Features

• Movie Search: Users can search for movies using keywords or specific titles. The application fetches data from a movie database to provide accurate search results.

• Movie Details: Upon selecting a movie from the search results, users can view detailed information about the movie, including the title, release date, genre, and a brief description.

• Trailer Playback: Users can watch trailers of movies directly on the website. The trailers are fetched from a reliable source and displayed seamlessly within the application.

• Watchlist: Users can add their favorite movies to a personal watchlist. This feature allows users to easily keep track of the movies they are interested in watching.

• Watchlist Management: Users can remove movies from their watchlist if they no longer wish to keep them. This provides flexibility and control over the movies added to the watchlist.
