ABSTRACT
Online recommendation engines have shaped our choices, whether we're looking for a movie or picking an
OTT platform's series. They are, however, still in the early stages of development and far from being ideal. In
this paper, we specifically discuss movie recommendation systems. Additionally, we attempt to critically
evaluate some work on movie recommendation systems and talk about some research papers that have
helped these systems overcome a number of obstacles. Although there have been advancements, more work
needs to be done on recommendation systems to make them more effective at providing accurate
recommendations across a wider range of applications.
Keywords: Recommendation System, Suggestion, Movies, Search, Machine Learning, Recommender.
I. INTRODUCTION
Every day, technological development soars to new heights, which has caused the amount of information to
grow dramatically. We use machine learning, which automates the creation of analytical models, to handle
such massive amounts of data. Three broad categories make up the early classification of machine learning:
Supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.
Without being explicitly programmed to do so, machine learning algorithms create a model from sample data,
also referred to as training data, in order to make predictions or decisions. Machine learning algorithms are
used in a wide range of applications, including recommendation systems, speech recognition, email filtering,
computer vision, and many more, where it is challenging or impractical to create conventional algorithms to
carry out the required functions.
When browsing the internet today, whether purchasing a product from an e-commerce site or watching a
movie on a video-on-demand service, the recommendation system framework is crucial. We rely on
recommendations made by others in our daily lives, whether they come from personal recommendations or
evaluations of broad surveys. People frequently use online recommender systems to decide on the items that
are relevant to their choices.
The purpose of recommendation systems, which are software tools and techniques, is to provide a group of
users with practical and informed recommendations for goods or services that might be of interest to them. In
other words, recommendation systems are a subset of information filtering systems that aim to predict the
"preference" or "rating" that will be given to an item.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
The first recommendation system was established in 1990 and was based on the e-commerce recommender
which is known as the tapestry. The term recommender system was coined by a computer-based librarian
named as Grundy in 1979. After that, there was the invention of various recommendation systems using
various technologies. Today, there is a large number of recommendation systems available with different
technologies and it is available in different fields also.
Nisha Sharma and Mala Dutta [1] proposed an overview survey on the recommendation system which contains
all details about the recommendation system.
Gaurav Srivastav [2] proposed the recommendation system using the concept of cosine similarity and the KNN
algorithm. Here, we studied cosine similarity.
Kumar et al. [4] proposed MOVREC, a movie recommendation system based on collaborative filtering

approaches. Collaborative filtering takes the data from all the users and based on that generates
recommendations.
Munoz-Organero, Mario [5], In this paper he proposed a Collaborative Recommender System Based on Space-
Time Similarities.
R. E. Nakhli, H. Moradi, and M. A. Sadeghi [6], In this paper, proposed the recommendation system using the
percentage view criteria which helps to get the suggestions.
G. Wang [7] proposed a brief survey on different types of recommender systems on their use of it.
Peng, Xiao, Shao Liangshan, and Li Xiuran [8], In this paper the electronic commerce recommendation system
has a similar look and makes a specialty of the collaborative filtering algorithm in the utility of a personalized
film recommendation system.
Sharma and Maan [10] in their paper analyzed various techniques used for recommendations, collaborative,
hybrid, and content-based recommendations. Also, it describes the pros and cons of these approaches.
Shreya Agrawal and Pooja Jain [11] in their paper give information about the various approaches to making a
recommender system.
Nagamanjula R and A. Pethalakshmi [12] in their paper proposed a novel scheme for the use of user similarity
and opinion mining for the recommender system.
M. Jahrer, A. Toscher, and R. Legenstein [13], In this paper proposed the recommender system for e-commerce
facilities which will be used for recommending a product.
Bhavya Ghai, Joydip Dhar, and Anupam Shukla [14], In this paper they examine multi-level ensemble learning
with regard to recommender systems and critique traditional ensemble learning. They place greater emphasis
on developing recommender systems employing stack generalization in this.
III. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The reason behind this project is that we lose our quality time in search of movies, so we try to design a movie
recommendation system that helps people in finding movies of their interest.
IV. OBJECTIVES
1. To Build a movie recommender system using Machine Learning.
2. The goal of the movie recommendation system is to allow the users to reduce their searching time and give
them their likely shows.

As shown in Fig.1, the proposed system consists of three entities a user and a search for a movie suggestion
gateway connected to the admin of the system. Each of the above entities of the system has its significance. The
specific roles and functionalities of each are discussed below:
1. User:
The user will search for the movie of his choice or suggestion.
The user will get the results or recommendations out of his search.
2. Recommendation System
The system will generate recommendations or suggestions according to the user search.
VI. PROPOSED OUTCOME
 Users can search for his movie.
 The user will get the Recommendation.
 Users will get suggestions.
VII. APPLICATION
 It can be used on different OTT Platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.
 It Can predict the approximate or near-correct recommendation.
 The recommendation system will also be used in different fields like e-commerce, music, for books.

VIII. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we proposed a movie recommendation system using machine learning. It enables a user to
choose from a predetermined set of criteria and then recommends movies for him based on the weighted
average of those attributes. Due to the nature of our system, evaluating performance is a difficult process
because there is no right or incorrect recommendation; it is simply a matter of opinions. They responded
favorably to our informal evaluations of a small group of users, conducted. We would like to have additional
data available so that our system can produce more insightful findings. Additionally, we intend to apply
several machine learning and clustering algorithms and compare the outcomes.
IX. FUTURE SCOPE
Future advances will boost the value of recommender systems, which can be a very effective tool in a business's
toolbox. One use case is the ability to predict seasonal purchases based on suggestions, identify significant
purchases, and provide customers with better recommendations that can improve retention and brand loyalty.
Recommender systems will be useful in the majority of enterprises; thus, I urge everyone to learn more about
this intriguing field.
