About this dataset

What it models.

Titles are generated two-word combinations ("The Crimson Harbor", "Silent Meridian") — recognizable as movies, but fictional, so there are no licensing or accuracy arguments.

Ratings, runtimes and gross sit in sensible ranges with enough spread for histograms, scatter plots and top-N lists to look good.

Good for: Teaching sort/filter/aggregate basics · First-dashboard tutorials · Scatter plots (rating vs gross).

License: CC0 / public domain — use it anywhere, no attribution needed.

Common questions
  • ·

    Are these real movies?

    No — titles, directors and numbers are all generated. That's deliberate: you can publish screenshots and homework with it freely, and nobody can quibble about a wrong box-office figure.

  • ·

    What license is this under?

    CC0 (public domain). Use it in tutorials, tests, courses, screenshots and products — no attribution required.

  • ·

    Is the data deterministic?

    Yes — every size is generated from a fixed seed, so the same file is byte-identical for everyone, forever. Reproducible tests, stable teaching materials.
