Now it’s time to put those imports to work. Create a variable called engine and set it equal to create_engine. Use creat

It says the table's name should be set to movies... could someone tell me what's wrong?

models.py 
# insert your code here
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///movies.db', echo=False)
Base = declarative_base()

class Movie(Base):
    __table_name__ = 'movies'

Hi Javi. It's a simple typo. Should be __ tablename __ instead of __ table_name __

The simple ones are sometimes the hardest to find. Keep at it!
