Requirements

This program requires the python module BeautifulSoup 4. This module is used to scrape data from imdb.com This can be installed using pip.

pip install beautifulsoup4 or pip3 install beautifulsoup4

Issues

The application will make several web requests to get the required movie data. This means there is a short wait between starting the program and the web page opening. This wait can be reduced by altering the number of movies gathered in the scraper module.
