PopcornPicks is a user-friendly movie recommender that curates a tailored list of 10 movie predictions based on user-provided movie preferences. Users can input their favorite movies, and our algorithm refines recommendations based on feedback—Liked, Disliked, or Yet To Watch. Additionally, users can write reviews, save them, check out the latest movies out there and also check out the buzz going on about movies by viewing what others are writing for their reviews. For the system architecture and other details, please refer to our wiki page
