Build a Filter System

[jandrewwhit]

-------------------- Previous Note --------------------

The Discover Movies and Discover TV have a ton of Filters that can be applied to those endpoints. The Routes / Services need to be built out first in express. Then we can add Filters to it.

Also these endpoints in the API are just Discover Filters behind the scenes. It would be nice to have these Filters predefined without having to use the following endpoints. It will take some work but if we could figure out the parameters they used for the following endpoints and just use the Discover endpoints that would be great. The Reason being we could add more filters to Discover vs these specific endpoints.

These links to the The Movie DB frontend might help figure out what filters they are applying.

-------------------- LATER NOTE --------------------

I figured out what the Discover API calls are. They are listed plain as day under a big "Note" box that says in small writing "Equivalent Discover Call."

So here is the Movie Lists
