SQLAlchemy movie database challenge

I don't know why this isn't working. Even Gemini was having a hard time. So what am I missing?

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)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)    

    new_movie = Movie(movie_title = "LOTR", genre = "Fantasy")
    session.add(new_movie)
    session.commit()
