Python SQLAlchemy Basics Working with SQLAlchemy Analyzing the Movie Database

Challenge Task 1 of 1 The movie theater wants to know how many movies they have in their database

Bummer: Inside of filter() should be Movie.movie_title.like() with the phrase you are looking for passsed into like().

models.py
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker


engine = create_engine(sqlite:///movies.db, echo=False)
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()
Base = declarative_base()


class Movie(Base):
    __tablename__ = movies

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    movie_title = Column(String)
    genre = Column(String)

# Write your code below
the_movies = session.query(Movie).filter(Movie.movie_title.like('%The%')\n.count())

Take a look at your .count(). Your parenthesis is incorrect. The .count() should be across the entire query. :)

** Plus I just checked again and where you are using the new line escape, it causes the code challenge to fail. I would just remove that to get it through. :)
