Adding a new film

1. Start by adding information about the film to data/data.csv.

• title: The name of the film.
• year: The year when the film was released.
• id: The id of the film follows the format film-title-YEAR.
• video_page: Link to the movie on archive.org where it can be downloaded.
• subtitle_page: Link to a page where the subtitles can be downloaded, typically on opensubtitles.org. (Be sure to update the Sources section below if you use a different website.)

2. Download the subtitle file from the subtitle_page, save it in the format film-title-YEAR-en.srt, and move it to the data/subtitles folder.
3. Add the movie poster (ideal size: 182px × 268px) to public/images/thumbnails. The file name should be in the format film-title-YEAR.jpg.
