Did you know that All in One SEO Pro lets you add Schema markup for movies?
This means that search engines can display a carousel of your movies that list the title, director, image, and star ratings.
IMPORTANT:
You can't force search engines to display search results in a specific way. It happens on a per search basis depending on whether they feel it’s the best way to display the results.
