Building a simple website that outputs results from a CSV using users input

Keanu Reeves best movies using https://jurgenarias.github.io/movies/

I was looking for a website where I could search for the best movies of any actor /actress but I couldn’t find any in particular that offered what I wanted. I had to google an actor/actress, then find his movies, then find the rating for each individual movie, and then compare them. It wasn’t efficient… so I decided to create a website for it.
