How to use:

Search Panel
-On the "Search" panel, search for a specific movie attribute (title, actor, director, etc.)
-Searches are made by clicking the enter button or hitting the return key on your keyboard
-If you get no results for your search, or you don't want to filter by a previous search item, remove the filter of choice by clicking the "X" next to the red box of the filter's search item

History Panel
-On the "History" panel, you can see the list of movies that you have previously rated
-Removing a rating on any panel removes that movie from your history list

Recommendations Panel
-On the "Recommendations" panel, you can see the list of movies that we think you might like
-The "Recommendations" panel will only display movies for you to see if you have rated enough movies for us to give you a list

Rating (spans every panel)
-On any panel you are able to rate a movie. Do this by clicking that movie's "Rate" button
-You can also remove a rating by clicking the "Delete Rating" button, but only if you have already rated that movie
