WatchWheel is a browser-based movie picker that uses TMDb to help you discover movies based on custom filters, then randomly selects one from your results.

• Dynamic filter options loaded from TMDb (genres, languages, people, streaming regions)
• Filtered movie discovery using TMDb's discover/movie endpoint
• Manual movie title additions to the candidate list
• Random movie picker with poster preview
• Three-column UI for filtering, candidate list, and final selection

• HTML (single-page layout in default.html)
• Vanilla JavaScript (get-criteria.js, get-movies.js, select-movie.js)
• CSS (currently mostly inline styles in default.html; style.css exists and is empty)
• TMDb REST API

• default.html: Main app layout and script includes
• get-criteria.js: Loads filter criteria from TMDb and wires UI interactions
• get-movies.js: Handles filter form submission, movie fetches, and movie list rendering
• select-movie.js: Randomly picks a movie from the current list and displays poster/title
• style.css: Reserved stylesheet file (currently empty)
• assets/: Static images (includes placeholder question-mark image)

• TMDb API Read Access Token

1. Get your TMDb API Read Access Token from your TMDb account settings.
2. Create a file called "API-read-access-token.txt" containing the TMDb API key and place it in your home directory:
3. Run the app through a local static server and default.html.

1. In the left column, configure your movie criteria and click Submit.
2. In the middle column, review generated movie candidates.
3. Optionally add manual titles using the add box.
4. Click Random Movie in the right column.
5. WatchWheel shows the selected title and poster (when available).

• Studio filtering is present as commented TODO code.

• Make Spinning Wheel in the center to make the application more interactive
• Create a logo
• Add client-side validation for filter ranges
• Fix the studio API call
• Add loading states and empty-state messaging
• Add pagination or "load more" for discover results, create counter to show how many results there are
• Add persistent saved filter presets
• Have confetti appear when the user finds a movie to watch
• Replace client-side token usage with backend-proxied API calls
