Notes

I ran into multiple challenges while creating the similar movies page. Primarily, the posters were oddly sized, even after I followed the videos exactly. There were small thumbnails instead of big movie posters. Fortunately, a person on the discussion page encountered the same issue, and thus, I was able to fix it.
