We will prepare a detailed synopsis for your college submission. Includes problem statement, objectives, DFD, ER diagram, and more.

A movie recommendation website that suggests films based on a user's ratings and on similar users, combining collaborative filtering with content-based similarity.

Problem Statement

Streaming catalogues are too large to browse. Recommendation engines are central to modern products, and students need a clear project to learn how they work.

Objectives

1

Implement user-based and item-based collaborative filtering

2

Add content-based similarity using genres and cast

3

Handle the cold start problem for new users

4

Evaluate recommendations with RMSE and precision at K

Modules

M3

User Accounts

Sign up, rate movies, and maintain a watchlist.

M4

Web Interface

Search, movie detail pages, and a personalised recommendations feed.

A website where users rate a few movies and immediately get a personalised list of recommended films with similarity explanations.

Future Scope

Matrix factorization and neural recommenders, real-time updates, and poster and trailer integration through a movie API.
