PROJECT PROPOSAL
1.) Name of Project
Movie Recommender based on item based collaborative filtering

2.) Feasibility & Requirements

With the increase in the number of OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime video,
Zee5 etc. and the number of people using these platforms, the need for a cross-platform
movie recommendation system has become a necessity. The main focus of this project is
to build a recommendation system which uses collaborative filtering to suggest movies
based on a user-input. In order to understand the user's movie preferences, the system
asks the user to input one of his favorite film. Based on the input, the system goes
through the database to identify movies that have the potential to match with the user's
taste. The matching is done by the analysis of movie preferences of users who also liked
this reference movie (user-input).

3.) Requirements:
