Movie App Using Angular (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

We will be creating a Movie Search Engine using Angular. This application allows users to search for movies by entering keywords and fetching and displaying a list of movie results in card format.

The search engine initially loads a default set of movies to showcase the functionality. Through this project, you'll see how to build a responsive and interactive movie search feature using Angular.
