Not sure whats going on...

It keeps failing me for some reason, though there's something wrong probably

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%').count)

Hey Madison Butler 👋

You're super close! Currently the .count is accidentally added inside the .filter() parentheses. After moving it out, and giving it it's own set of parentheses, it passes perfectly 👍

the_movies = session.query(Movie).filter(Movie.movie_title.like('%The%')).count()
