Main View
The Main View displays all the movies in the database (unless the rating is above that specified by the user's privelege level). It also displays the current user's name, privelege level, and favorited movies.
Both the Favorites table and the Movies table can be sorted by clicking on the top of the column you want to sort on.
Click on a movie in either the Movies table or the Favorites table to bring up the movie in the Movie View Form.
