This project is a movie library web application that allows users to sign up, log in, search for movies, and create personalized lists of their favorite movies. Users can also manage the privacy settings of their lists. The application leverages the OMDB API to fetch movie details and is deployed on Render for demonstration.

1. User Authentication: Users can sign up and log in to the application.
2. Movie Search: Users can search for movies and view detailed information about each movie.
3. Movie Lists: Users can create, view, and manage lists of movies. These lists can be marked as public or private.
4. Responsive Design: The application has a user-friendly layout inspired by popular movie-related websites.
