Challenge #491: Behind the Blockbusters

My solution.

Spoiler

For Task 1, if I apply "1224" ranking method, there are 16 records within "top 10".
For Task 3, I would use count distinct for iso country code.


Workflow

By the way, I encountered an issue in Input Data Tool which reads tmdb_5000_movies.csv.
It works on the "Original Engine" without problem.
However, when I switch the workflow to "Use AMP Engine", I see the errors;
  "CSVFile: A field was missing a closing quote in record 3030: ... "

The error disappears with turning on "AMP Only: Allow Newlines in Quoted Fields" option in the Input Data Tool.
Today I learned the reason of existence of this option.😀

I was getting 86 languages for Step 3 when filtering via "iso_639_1".
I also noticed some of the "names" have unicode characters but the result for that is 26.

If you include the null in the count it'll be 87 or 27.

Updated my flow using Yoshiro's engine fix. All match (except for budget ties, which I consider to be an equivalently correct output)

 

Also, I feel like tokenized parse -> rows for this specific case is a much simpler solution than many of the JSON filters I've seen while peering through solutions. Wondering if there is a reason for the JSON searches that I'm not considering or if many people are just used to thinking this way from working with JSON syntax to construct objects.

Soution. Answer for Q3 should be 87 and not 27
