Answer 1

As far as I understand, you create a Movie class:

class Movie
{
private:
  std::string _title;
  std::string _director;
  int         _year;
  int         _rating;
  std::vector actors;
};

and having such class, you create a vector instance:

std::vector movies;

so, you can add any movie to your movies collection. Since you are creating a vector of pointers to movies, do not forget to free the resources allocated by your movie instances OR you could use some smart pointer to deallocate the movies automatically:

std::vector> movies;
