Scrape the top 100 movies of all time from a website. Generate a text file called
movies.txt that lists the movie titles in ascending order (starting from 1).
The result should look something like this:
1) The Godfather
2) The Empire Strikes Back
3) The Dark Knight
4) The Shawshank Redemption
... and so on
The central idea behind this project is to be able to use BeautifulSoup to obtain some data - like movie titles - from a website like Empire's (or from, say Timeout or Stacker that have curated similar lists).
Since websites change very frequently, use this link
URL = "https://web.archive.org/web/20200518073855/https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/best-movies-2/"
from the Internet Archive's Wayback machine. That way your work will match the solution video.
(Do not use https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/best-movies-2/ which I've used in the screen recording)
You can find the code from my walkthrough and solution as a downloadable .zip file in the course resources for this lesson.
