1.

​ My database topic would be movie data, which catalogs various parts of several movies
and people watching the movie. The purpose of this database is to help users discover
movies tailored to their preferences (e.g., mood, genre, ratings) and to analyze factors
influencing movie success, such as cast, duration, and revenue. The data could also be
used to decide if certain actors/actresses have an impact on movie success, along with
other factors.
2.​ Does the length of the movie correlate with higher movie rating? Does the amount of
income made from a movie change how good it is? Do certain actors/actresses make a
movie good? Does box office revenue reflect audience satisfaction? Are certain
actors/directors associated with higher-rated movies? How does viewer actor/actress
preference affect movie earnings?
