This meticulous process ensured that our research was built upon a solid foundation and enabled us to create a robust algorithm capable of delivering valuable and tailored movie recommendations to users.

Next, we conducted web scraping to collect comprehensive data on approximately 600-700 films from the IMDb website. This meticulously curated dataset served as the foundation for training and testing our machine learning algorithm. By utilizing this rich and diverse collection of movie information, we ensured the effectiveness and reliability of our algorithm in generating accurate recommendations. The dataset acquisition process involved adhering to ethical guidelines and terms of service provided by the IMDb website, ensuring the integrity and legality of our research. The robustness and breadth of our dataset played a crucial role in enabling our algorithm to learn patterns and correlations, ultimately enhancing the quality and precision of our movie recommendations.

1. Conducted an in-depth study of the IMDb website to identify the attributes required for the data frame. Analyze the HTML code structure using Google Developer Tools to understand how these attributes are represented on the website.
2. Implement a proactive security measure by utilizing the OS module to block all proxies. This prevents unauthorized access and strengthens network security by restricting the use of proxy servers.
3.  Utilize the requests library to create an object for accessing web content. Use Beautiful Soup, a popular parsing library, to parse and extract relevant information from the created object. This enables efficient data extraction and manipulation for further analysis and processing.
4. Use the apt html tags to extract information on the various selected parameters for each movie present in the 2 selected lists and manipulate it fit the required format using function like strip and split from the “re” module.
5. Collate the information extracted from the two lists  into a single dataframe.

6. The ultimate objective is to develop a robust machine learning model using the collected data. This model will undergo training using a carefully selected subset of the data to effectively predict a specific outcome or make meaningful inferences. By leveraging advanced algorithms and techniques, the model will learn from patterns and relationships within the data, enabling it to make accurate predictions or draw insightful conclusions. This process involves optimizing the model's parameters and fine-tuning its performance to ensure reliable and high-quality results. The trained machine learning model will serve as a powerful tool to uncover valuable insights, drive informed decision-making, and unlock new opportunities in the given domain.

7. Cosine similarity is utilized in our recommendation system to compute the similarity between two movies. It measures the cosine of the angle between vectors representing the movies in a multi-dimensional space. The resulting score falls between 0 and 1, where higher values indicate a stronger similarity.

8. Cosine similarity considers both direction and magnitude, making it suitable for comparing movies with varying attributes such as genres, budgets, or cast sizes. By leveraging cosine similarity, our recommendation system provides personalized recommendations based on users' preferences and interests. This approach enhances the overall viewing experience by introducing users to a diverse range of movies that share similar characteristics.
