- Poster images are loaded using the UIImageView category in the AFNetworking library.
- User sees a loading state while waiting for the movies API.
- User can pull to refresh the movie list.
The following optional features are implemented:

- Movies are displayed using a CollectionView instead of a TableView.
- User can search for a movie.
- All images fade in as they are loading.
- Customize the UI.
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- Using different endpoints of the movie api
- Difference in implementations between network downloaded images and cached images (i.e. I don't know if my code is using cached or not)
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

- I would've liked to try a pull down to search implementation'
- Curious as to how a backend for the app would work - maybe something with user profiles, favorites, etc.

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
