| id | A unique number for each record |
| imdb_id | The id of the movie in the Internet Movie DataBase (IMDB) |
| title | Title fo the movie |
| director | Name of the director |
| year | Year (number) the movie was released |
| rating | Rating (R, PG, etc…) |
| genres | Comma-separated list of genres |
| runtime | Length in minutes |
| country | Comma separated list of countries it was released in |
| language | Comma separated list of languages it was released in |
| imdb_score | Score of movie (1-10) in IMDB |
