Why Another Movies Database?

Every coding bootcamp student makes a movies database. I picture a hiring manager going through a stack of resumes, clicking on project after project, spending no more than seconds on each. If you make a unique, innovative project that takes time and effort to understand, the hiring manager will move on. I figure that the best way to impress a hiring manager is with a web app he or she can quickly understand and be impressed by, e.g., a well-executed movies database.
