IMDBClone
## About The Project
[![Product Name Screen Shot][product-screenshot]](https://example.com)
A web application with similar functionality to IMDB. Keeps a mongoDB database of movie information. Supports users who
can browse all information (movies, people, other users), adding movie reviews, contributing new movies, and following other people/users.
Additionally, this website will generate: movie recommendations based on user's data, lists of similar movies for each movie, and frequent collaborators for each person.
Note:
- "people" refers to people who are part of a movie (director, writer, or actor)
- "users" refer to the users who made accounts and are using the application
