Error: You should have a Session variable that binds engine to sessionmaker. Am I binding the engine correctly?

I thought I was binding the engine as Megan demonstrated in her videos, but I got a False check with my code. If how I did it wasn't the right way, how do you properly bind the engine in code. I have the same problem with my console code and I cannot add, update or delete users with the existing code I have.

models.py 
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, Column, Integer, String
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker


engine = create_engine(‘sqlite:///movies.db’, echo=False)
Session = sessionmaker(bind-engine)
session = Session()
Base = declarative_base()


class Movie(Base):
    __tablename__ = ‘movies’

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    movie_title = Column(String)
    genre = Column(String)
