Instead of creating an empty dictionary, you can build a dictionary literal an example could look like
if title and genre and rating:
movie = {
"title": title,
"genre": genre,
"rating": rating
}
return movie| pass | ||
| def create_movie(movie_title, genre, rating): | ||
| new_movie = {} | ||
| if movie_title == None or genre == None or rating == None: |

Here you are supposed to check if this is truthy but this only checks for None. To check if it's truthy you could so something like if not title or not genre or not rating

To avoid iterating and modifying data at the same time, in this case, you could create one for loop with an if conditional that removes the movie from the watchlist and adds the movie to watched in one loop. As soon as we make a change we want to stop iterating. Here is a suggestion:
def watch_movie(user_data, title):
for movie in user_data["watchlist"]:
if movie["title"] == title:
user_data["watchlist"].remove(movie)
user_data["watched"].append(movie)
break
return user_data| count = 0 | ||
| for movie in user_data["watchlist"]: | ||
| if movie["title"] == title: | ||
| add_to_watched(user_data,movie) |
| def get_watched_avg_rating(user_data): | ||
| sum = 0 | ||
| for i in range (0,len(user_data["watched"])): | ||
| print(user_data["watched"][i]["rating"]) |

remove print statements after debugging/testing. Print statements should only be added if it related to the user experience
| genre_count = genre_counts.get(genre,0) | ||
| genre_counts[genre] = genre_count + 1 | ||
| counter +=1 | ||
| max_genre = max(genre_counts, key=genre_counts.get) |

Great use of the max method here. If you didn't use the max method what would you do in its place?
| for i in range(len(user_data['watched'])): | ||
| watched_list.append(user_data["watched"][i]) | ||
| for i in range(len(user_data['friends'])): | ||
| for movie in range(len(user_data['friends'][i]["watched"])): | ||
| friends_watched.append(user_data['friends'][i]["watched"][movie]) | ||
| for movie in friends_watched: | ||
| if movie not in watched_list: | ||
| list_difference.append(movie) |

these lines of code are similar to lines 67-77. This would be a good candidate for a helper function.

instead of doing two for loops you could do something like
def get_rec_from_favorites(user_data):
movies = get_unique_watched(user_data)
recs = []
for movie in movies:
if movie in user_data['favorites']:
recs.append(movie)
return recs
